The Tavern in Bătrâni, just like in Creangă's tales.

Arrival at the Village Museum

As soon as you arrive at the Village Museum in Sibiu, you can't help but notice a tavern resting in the shade of some oaks, looking as if it has been plucked straight from *Creangă's tales. And if you find yourself here on a warm summer day, the scent of fresh beer and the aroma of grilled mici will surely tempt you to indulge for a few hours at this rare gem of a place. You have arrived at the renowned Cârciuma din Bătrâni*.

History of Cârciuma din Bătrâni

The building housing the tavern was brought from the village of Bătrâni, Prahova County ([map link](http://goo.gl/maps/lhPc8)). In fact, there, the house built in the 19th century also functioned as a restaurant. The neo-Romanian architectural style of the building is typical of the Prahova Valley region, which is why it was relocated to the Village Museum in Sibiu.

Dining Experience

Now, after its renovation, at Cârciuma din Bătrâni, you can enjoy a traditional meal from the Mărginimea Sibiului.

Seasonal Offerings

• If you are here during the grape harvest, you will be able to taste fresh must, as well as some of the specific wines of Mărginimea Sibiului, served in authentic clay cups.
