Ruin bars and clubs
Abandoned buildings from the bombings of WW2, people who survived the bombings would abandon their homes, later communities would gather around in the courtyards of these broken homes, pick out furniture that survived, they would then have drinks and play music to lift their spirits during wartime. They are known for their eclectic decors, artistic design, gardens and courtyard and of course affordable drinks.
Instant-Fogas
The biggest ruin nightclub in the city. It’s a giant, with many rooms that play different genres of music so all will find the room most suited to their taste.
Szimpla Kert
The biggest and most popular ruin bar in the city. Since 2002 it has played a significant role in popularizing the ruin pub culture in Budapest. 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!
