BucharestApp 1.8 is out with some work in the place finding area (Point Of Interest finding and finding places around a given geographical location picked by clicking on the map).
There's a new menu item in the Control-Click contextual menu titled "Coordinates" that allows you to start the POI finder panel centered around the click location or to copy the click coordinates to the clipboard:
The POI finder offers a number of built-in POI queries (for ATMs, banks, bus stops, malls, etc) but it does not expose all the capabilities of the namefinder (you are not able to search for pubs, hospitals, airports, etc using the POI finder).
However, you can copy the coordinates to clipboard and locate pubs through a custom search in the place finder panel:
The results are displayed based on distance from the coordinates used in the query, from the nearest to the furthest:
As with everything else, the chance of actually finding something you're looking for depends on the work of the folks contributing on OpenStreetMap so if you can't find you favorite pub or cafe you might want to log in the OpenStreetMap site and add it yourself.
