Recently opened Jelen, a nice addition to the Budapest nightclub and bar scene, is quickly gaining popularity among both locals and travelers by word of mouth alone.

This spacious bar subtly decorated with arty posters opens every day at 4 pm, just when you are almost done with your job and errands and ready to have a pint.

Sirály is a three-level bar, library, book-store, theater and movie with friendly visitors, attentive bartenders and atmosphere of creativity.

VII. Király u., 50

This small bar can be regarded as the meeting point for expats, since there is always a crowd of them with fewer arty-type locals. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive. Bar's specialty is cocain coctail.

VII. Nagydiófa u., 26

Very small and cosy bar located opposite the Synagogue.
VII. Dohány u. 1c
Open:
Mon-Sun 09:00-23:00
