Castro Bisztro

Always crowded. Popular among locals and tourists. Serbian specialties, inexpensive drinks. No Cuban food and cigars despite the name. One of the places in Budapest you want to come back to because of its special, laid-back atmosphere.

Chili Bar

Budapest. Chili Bar

We tried their Quesadilla and Chili con carne, and these were very good. They also served it with a smile and fast. The other good thing about the place is moderate prices. That's probably best place next to Raday.

Csendes (Silent) is the new kid on the block that takes its name from the grand restaurant that used to be in this space many years ago.

In addition to the name the place preserved also two imposing columns that are the focus of this abundantly decorated space. Indeed, you may spent hours just examining all the interior details of the bar, big and small, the objects and pieces of arts covering the walls and hanging from the ceiling.

Disco in the best traditions of EuroPopDance. Four bars, VIP garden section, two dance floors, stage and pizza corner. Foam parties on summer Tuesdays.
The big disadvantage is the club location, it’s just too "far from the madding crowd".
Tickets: 1200 forints, free for women.

It seems many people come to Ellátó to get drunk and discuss the big question of life with strangers while standing around the bar with pints in their hands. Yes, drinking and smoking is encouraged in this bar with simplistic design and artsy crowd. Be careful: bartenders sometimes miscalculate your change for their benefit.
