Just so that you know, in the meantime 3 places are already closed. So sad knowing that this article has been written only 1 year ago.

Ruin pubs are a special thing about the city, but they are not able to survive that well anymore since the buildings in the city center are targeted for new hotels and fancy apartment buildings.

I’m so happy I read this! I’m coming to Budapest in a few months and I had never heard about these places. Now I have something else to visit. Also the concept is just genius. Abandoned buildings? Artsy relaxed old-furnitured ambiance? Definitely my kind of spots.

Thank you for this info, that is definitely an extra reason to prefer the smaller ones.

I was in Budapest for a week.
During that time I went to a Sparty, did a Booze Cruise, and went to numerous Ruin Pubs and still managed to spend less than $100 in that time.
Budapest might be one of the best drinking cities ever.

The large sculpture honestly caught me off guard. Looks like a good place to party. There is a serious lack of good spots here in Winnipeg, I like 441main.ca but other than that man, it’s a variable nightlife void.

Me and my boyfriend have been travelling around Europe, occasionally using your guides. (thanks by the way!) We’ve arrived in our Air bnb apartment which turns out to be in one of these ancient, large houses (over 100 years old to be exact) with is own courtyard and we wondered why the street was so alive and busy when we arrived on a Saturday night and it was a nightmare to find parking.

…Only turns out we’ve booked our apartment is literally two doors down from Szimpla on the same street! Just to do some more additional research on Budapest i found they mentioned this bar on lonely planet and now on your blog as well! ha! i’m amazed we accidentally booked such a great location, what a treasure!

In reply to john mangione. john, I would love to visit and have you show me around if possible. I would also like to know the cost of living there. Thanks

In reply to NomadicMatt. Now I have a new favorite place to try when i start traveling in a year! It seems the more i read of your posts the more my mind changes of where to start. I am still very timid on the idea of traveling as a single woman but i am not going to let it get in my way. Your posts have been a huge help to me and i look forward to all of your new posts as well as the old ones. So much to take in! Want a travel partner :)
