NIGHT LIFE
The party scene in Budapest is not to bed missed! Buslting with
one of the widest varieties of Nightlife in Europe, there is always
something happening every night of the week, all year round.
Summer time (May-September) however brings something extra special
with the opening of the out door bars, where you can ’do your
thing’, until the sun comes up!
We suggest paying a visit to INSTANT, SZIMPLA KERT, CORVIN TETÕ, A38, ÖTKERT, MUMUS, KIADÓ KOCSMA AND HOLD UDVAR.
Budapest is famous for it’s outdoor courtyard Bars, grungy underground
clubs and elegant cocktail bars.
You are bound to find something to suit you around every corner.
Venues such as Szimpla Kert and Instant (ruin bars) in the VI
District are infamous for their chilled out, quirky backdrops
and overgrown garden themes.
Whether its a trendy, traditional or bohemian vibe you’re searching
for on your stay in Budapest, here are a few of our top picks
from Backpack Guesthouse.
INSTANT
- Newly renovated Instant is Budapest’s hippest and largest bar
in the VI District. It largely draws a young, late night crowd
of locals and visitors. Set upon three levels, take your pick
of Underground Dj’s spinning fresh in the basement, dancehall
beats on the floor upstairs or the covered courtyard, willowing
out chilled jazz and lounge. Cool art, like a herd of rabbits
running across the roof, while being overlooked by a cat-woman-sphinx,
is the newest addition.
SZIMPLA KERT
- One of Budapest’s largest outdoor / Indoor bars, you’re likely
to find the local pub-crawls spinning by here, with larger groups
of tourists and Hungarians in the summer time and a more local
intimate crowd in the off seasons. A guaranteed fun night out,
Szimpla will be sure to leave you with either company for the
night or an adventure on to another highly popular megaclub, ’Corvin
Tetó’!
CORVIN TETÕ
- Set up on the 8th story of a district building in well known
Blaha Lujza square, take the 12 odd flights of stairs up to our
most famous rooftop bar. Relax ontop with views out either side
with some swing chairs and pot plants or pop down to the two dance
floors on the level below. Cheap beer and drinks, always a great
night here! VI District
MUMUS
- Occupying two floors and the courtyard of an old derelict building
in the VII District, this street level bar features funky urban
decor and atmospheric lighting. Upstairs is a tiny dancefloor
and bar, fired up by DJ’s on Friday and Saturday nights. Dominated
by the artwork of a well known local artist Attila Stark, his
funky cross between Basquiat and Keith Haring, adds a demented
kick to the place. Cheap beer and comfy lounges.
KIADÓ
KOCSMA - Two storied lounge bar with a terrace set above
the upper floor, Kiado is super chilled and set in the perfect
environment for kicking back and meeting a few local students
and artists. Different art exebitions every fortnight, great cheap
Hungarian food with a very cheap drinks menu. Central to Oktogon,
surrounding bars and clubs!
We also recommend checking out ’Most’, ’Jelen’, ’Vitulla’ and
’Csendes’ bar.
When you are here, ask us about the newest bars in town, as there
are always new places popping up on the scene.
