INSTANT
Read moreThree dancefloors, one of which serves as concert hall, an inner courtyard and numerous bric and broc rooms on the floor. Due to its ideal location on Hungarian Broadway, Instant quickly became one of Budapest's most frequented ruined bars by locals and tourists.
JEDERMANN KÁVÉHÁZ
Read moreOn the first floor of the Goethe Institute, Jedermann is the café for German speakers (and everyone else!). And it is Hans van Vliet, a Dutchman who has been in Budapest for twenty years, who is behind it all. This man has some of the most popular bars in the capital to his credit. Food and drinks are served all day long, including on his terrace in the patio-small garden behind in summer. As for the cultural program, Hans is a musician himself, and jazz concerts are held on the small indoor stage of the café almost every day.
GERLÓCZY CAFÉ - BRASSERIE
Read moreLocated on the exquisite little Kamermayer square, away from traffic, the Gerlóczy café is the closest thing to an authentic Budapest-style café of contemporary intellectuals. Its setting is remarkable: installed in an 1892 building, largely preserved, many details contribute to the refinement of this almost Parisian bistro. It is without counting on its large and charming terrace in the summer. Ideal at any time of the day, for a coffee, a slice of cake or a meal.
FLOW
Read moreThis specialty coffee shop is definitely one of our favorites in downtown Budapest. Recently installed on Andrássy boulevard, the baristas concoct a multitude of coffees behind the counter while the aficionados, installed on benches or individual tables, type on their computers (everything is provided to recharge their devices). We also love the inventive and excellent cuisine which draws its inspiration from around the world (curries, wraps, soups...) and the desserts. A 100% vegan address!
KUPLUNG
Read moreTo find it, remember the number! Passed a kert way (and its bar), one enters the Kuplung: a motorcycle repair workshop of another life, today a large bar. The site has just undergone an initial restructuring, which should lead to the installation of a real concert hall (in 2009, the Ledit was removed and sound sound soundproofed). All local ingredients are there to make night mayonnaise: the inevitable foot, pálinka and various evenings DJ/VJ (visual DJ). If you like well-supported techno or rock, Kuplung is what you need!

MY LITTLE MELBOURNE
Read moreBudapest hipsters have their own church: My Litte Melbourne in the city center! It serves excellent lattes, cappuccinos and other coffees. In fact, the place doubles up as a café-boutique with mezzanine and a brew bar right next door serving filtered coffees and where a school of baristas operates. A great place to take a break during your visit to Budapest. Pastries and savory options are also available to accompany your hot or cold drink. Also ideal for teleworking.
TUK TUK BAR
Read moreBarwomen... and bartenders at TukTuk bar concoct unique Asian-inspired cocktails like the Asian Porn Star (sake, Japanese vodka, passion fruit and vanilla...) or the Samurai Mojito (liqueur made with Choya Kokuto, Clément Canne Bleue rum, lime, basil, pink pepper, Thai lemongrass, soda...). This elegant bar adjoins the Casati Hotel and pays subtle, vibrant homage to Asia and 1920s Shanghai. A warm, gay-friendly atmosphere, and a high degree of professionalism. Given its success and capacity, it's best to book in advance!
MŰVÉSZ KÁVÉHÁZ
Read moreWhether you consider it kitsch or chic, and although often overrun by tourists, the Művész, located almost opposite the National Opera, is a Budapest landmark, and has been since 1898, the year it opened. At the Café des Artistes, you can enjoy the terrace overlooking Andrássy in summer, and the Viennese-style interior lounges in winter. The tables are arranged so that you can see the whole room from all sides. Thanks to its success, the establishment has increased its prices and reduced the size of its cakes (all great Hungarian classics).
GERBEAUD CAFÉ

CLUB 512
Read moreSet in the Dépendances Castle's outbuildings, Club 512 brings its alternative to tourism territory. The old postal relay has been set up, but not too much is what makes the class of the place: Indestructible parquet floors, wooden benches and tables, a stage for concerts, a connected PC and space. We smell the collective company, the plan between friends and it works very well even. Crowded the weekend of a majority clientele around the who seem to find answers in the alcools of the alcohol you shot before going to dance or collapse. Beautiful like adolescence.
THE RED LION
Read moreA typical British pub, overlooking an Italian courtyard. The fresh air of the court makes it possible to regain its minds after the agitation that reigns inside. Large selection of whiskies, draught beer and steaks.
MUSKATLI KAVEZO
Read moreA café with a very authentic retro design, top of ceiling and resting, favourable to a break with terrace overlooking very busy corso, La Lajos utca.
KIOSZK PRESSZO
Read moreIn the middle of the square, this shady cafe-bar is one of the most pleasant and refreshing places in the summer.
