Always crowded. Popular among locals and tourists. Serbian specialties by Serbian chef, inexpensive drinks. No Cuban food and cigars despite the name.

Very good prices for quality food and drinks. Friendly laid back atmosphere, free wifi, and eveything nice!
As far as thievery go, this place is in no way any more dangerous than any other pubs or café of any other big cities. Just watch out for your things as common sense ask you to, or assume your own stupidity.
regardin Castro bistro -DO
regardin Castro bistro -DO NOT GO THERE!!!! You will be robbed, yesterday my bag was stolen, woth all belongings there. It was nehind my back on the chair...this is not the only time, my friend was robbed as well, !!!!
terrible, it seems gthat people who are coming in this caffee are not that good manner people!!!!
This place should be closed, I guess...Waitres were not keen that much to help!!!!!!
The person who stole my bag is for sure the person or group of people who are "opearting" there very often!!!!
GET REAL! YOU CAN NOT BLAME
GET REAL! YOU CAN NOT BLAME A RESTAURANT FOR YOUR IGNORANCE
this is true whereever you
this is true whereever you go...never leave a bag on the back of your chair...its a sure way to get it stolen.
anyway, i go there at least once a week. unlike most places, the waiters/waitresses are laid back and actually nice (!!). its pet friendly, has quite a few vegetarian options, and great coffee. and wifi of course...
do not be put off, castro is a brilliant bar
for anyone who has read the below comment, do not be put off..... castro is a wonderful bar in the centre of budapest with a constantly lively, warm and cosy atmosphere. it is very chilled out and laid back which is probably how people would be too relxed to notice their things go missing. it can happen to anyone who is too busy having a good time, chatting, checking internet, eating good food or drinking, don't let castro's name be marred. great place, truly. GO THERE! (NB it is busy any time of the day, so if you want to get a table be sure to cal and reserve one, which they will gladly do for you)
Castro again
I was there in July and August 2008. Very friendly and good value. I expect to go there again this summer when I'm back in Budapest. Don't be put off by one individual having something bad happen that could have happened anywhere.
