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.

Szimpla Kert also hosts live music performances regularly and a Farmers’ Market every Sunday from 9 AM until 2 PM.

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!
