Budapest Nightlife: 40 Best Local Bars & Nightclubs in Budapest

Csendes

Featured

By Judit

As its name (meaning ’quiet’) suggests, Csendes is a more relaxed, café-like version of Budapest’s famous ruinpubs. While you still have the chance to sit in half a bathtub, you’ll definitely meet less tourists and are more likely to hear what your friends are saying than in the more party-oriented alternatives such as Szimpla or Instant.

The ultimate ruinpub

Szimpla kert

The 10 year old pub is a great place to discover alternate usages of a large variety of random objects, from an old radio to half a bathtub. Getting lost in the maze of dimly lit rooms is definitely a memorable experience, even during the less crowded day period.

Corvintető

If you like alternative music, people who have their own way of partying without bothering yours, and looking for a night that starts with chill conversation open-air, and turns into hours of jumping and dancing, Corvintető is your place. Prices are a bit above average (0,5 l beer 500 - 900 HUF, 3 cl shots 600 - 1200 HUF), the experience priceless

It's in the centre which means that it can be reached easily and luckily the owners of the flats around it are foreigners, ergo nobody will tssssssh you. To be honest the feeling itself is why you should visit.

Instant

This is the biggest ruin pub in Budapest - with its adjacent areas, it offers a variation of 8 bars, 4 dancefloors, and a garden. It has a top quality sound system, and a wrist band instead of the usual, easy-to-lose piece of paper you get for valuables at the checkroom.

Get off that main drag, off the well known streets and go down the side streets that only those who veer into obscurity learn how to and where to rock.

See A38's FB page for current events but e.g. Random Trip events are highly recommended and held each Tuesday with few music performers improvising and mixing different music genres. Great place to have fun, drink and get to know the latest performers from the music scenery.

If you like beer, you'll love this place. In the summer it's the perfect, quiet garden to have a beer in, with a sort of industrial feel to it. In the winter, it's still a great place to enjoy a pint of a few, with the incredibly simple, yet fitting interior. This place reflects the true local side of Budapest unlike most of the other popular pubs.

From spring to autumn, they offer a refreshing refugee from the heat of the city center. You should come here by bike to enjoy one of their concert evenings or football game screenings when relevant. They sell divine lángos (Hungarian fried dough) with a variaty of optional toppings, their pancake and wheat beer on tap is also perfect.

Great choice to get an insight to the Hungarian art scene, to watch a meaningful film and have a great time. Mind the special events of Toldi (Toldi Klub & Toldi mozi) on their Facebook accounts or drop by from Bajcsy-Zsilinszky street for a coffee and ask for the latest art films in English from the staff.
