Tourists visiting Romania and wanting to take a jump into the fantasy world of Steampunk cannot miss the pub Joben Bistro.

Furnished with copper pipes, exposed mechanical gears and illuminated by a warm, diffused light, the pub looks like a space pulled straight from the pages of a Jules Verne or H.G. Wells novel.

Located in in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, the pub features fictional machines like those described by the authors, giving the space an industrial and retro-futuristic style distinctive of Steampunk.

Faithful to Steampunk's pseudo-Victorian style, Joben Bistro's three rooms take visitors to a world of fantasy and science fiction.

The first room has old pictured hanging on the walls, wanting to recreate a vintage art gallery, while the second room, where the bar is located, boasts quirky installations and the third room is filled with objects of all kinds.

Designed by Romanian studio 6th Sense, Joben Bistro counts dozens of quirky objects on the walls and hanging from the ceiling, including a mounted deer head fitted with a monocle and other mechanical objects.

The pub's lighting design adds to the quirkiness of the venue, giving the space a cozy feel and helping to blur the lines between fiction and reality.

A LED zeppelin emits a spooky glow overhead and lampshades shaped to look like top hats illuminate the dark-painted and brick walls, creating a dreamy atmosphere where to sit back and relax.
