Baza

Baza is a gay-friendly bar and occasional club night venue in central Chi?in?u, operating as a mixed space that draws a queer-leaning creative crowd alongside straight allies and students. The venue has a relaxed industrial aesthetic with exposed brick and a broad drinks selection that includes an unusually good range of Moldovan wines by the glass ? an appropriate nod to the country's defining export. The music programme is eclectic; specific LGBTQ+-themed nights are held periodically and announced through community channels and GENDERDOC-M's social media. On non-themed nights it remains a comfortable and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ visitors who want a less scene-specific environment. The terrace is popular in warmer months.
