Nightlife

KAA Mixology

KAA Mixology is a great place with a lovely interior, great service and even better cocktails. If you’re hungry, have your meal at Twentysix, which is a great restaurant right next door.

Hotsy Totsy

Nice cocktail bar close to Gozsdu Udvar!

Szimpla Kert

Although expensive for most locals nowadays, it is still a must-see destination. We recommend having here a few drinks before heading over to a more affordable ruin bar later in the evening.

UdvarRom

Now this is a place most locals still love to visit. As it is where the locals go, the drinks are cheap! The place is also packed with arcade/bar games, pool tables, darts, and a dancefloor downstairs!

Extra

One of the most beautiful ruin bars in the city and a stone throw away from UdvarRom. This bar is known for its cocktails and good vibes.

Instant-Fogas

The biggest ruin nightclub in the city. It’s a giant, with many rooms that play different genres of music so everyone will find the room most suited to their taste.

Doboz

It’s a personal favorite of ours, during the early hours of the night it operates as a bar but just wait until the A.M. when its turns into one of the liveliest nightclubs in the city. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Morrison’s 2

This is a ruin nightclub we recommend you to go to early for cheap unlimited drink options. Wonderfully packed with locals but never too crowded.

Liz & Chain

Settle into a sofa, order a cocktail (or three), and watch the Danube light up while Buda Castle keeps an eye on you. It’s rooftop lounging done right.

The Duchess Rooftop Bar

Owned by the very man who caters for the Oscars every year, it has no shortage of breathtaking views or unannounced visits from Hollywood stars. The drinks are by no means cheap, but well worth a visit. As for all rooftop bars, book in advance!

White Raven

Situated on top of the Hilton in the Castle District. Swanky, expensive and so worth it!

Jópipa

A local hangout next to the Central Market. Even the butcher show up here for a “spike”.

Trap Café

Situated in the heart of local nightlife. You’ll mostly find Hungarians here.

Shot Bar

Known for their sugary shots. Many a local students show up for cheap drink and even cheaper laughs.

Place Bar

Another local student hangout but you’ll find all sorts of locals here.

Tilos a Tilos

A culture bar with good traditional food. Hard to find on your own.

Púder Bárszinház

Is it a ruinbar a cinema a restaurant. Who knows? Its cool and the locals love it.

Grízingi Borozó

A local for wino’s and hearty food lovers.

Kelta Pub
