Aurora

Update: Auróra has closed after more than a decade as a District VIII community house. We’ve kept this page up for the record — and to point you toward places carrying the same spirit.

Auróra was a community house in District VIII that served as bar, venue and headquarters for a cluster of Hungarian NGOs and grassroots groups, from Roma rights to refugee support. People came for a cheap drink, a concert or a talk and to see civil-society Budapest in action.

Where to go instead: For the same mix of good causes and good company, try Nem Adom Fel Cafe & Bar, the disability-run cafe and bar; Impact Hub Budapest, a community hub for social and environmental projects; or Blind Mice Exchange Pub for a cheap, lively drink nearby.
