But like...it's my birthday...don't they know it's my birthday today
Today is Ross's birthday!
So we're going to hit up some ruin bars in Budapest!
Come with us as we sink way too many beers!
First stop is Retox for happy hour martinis!
Me and my martini!
We're looking forward to showing it you all of these little bars as we go on
a bit of a Ross's birthday tour of Budapest... so far so good!
like $3 for a cocktail Australian
Is this your new birthday jig. Jig for the birthday!
although they're now super popular in Budapest ruin bars only
officially came about in the early 2000s mostly in the Jewish quarter that was
still many ruined buildings remaining after the war some of these sites were
filled with eclectic secondhand furniture and turned them to the ruin bars we know today!
all right so ruin bars are fascinating it's got a Mexican theme and they have a
taqueria in here for those who do the craft beers so actually a buddy back in
Australia I promised him that I would give him a shout out Josh hello!
He loves craft beers well this is an amazing red ale
it's as good as any beer session we've ever had in Australia and the total of
this was $7.50 in Australia we would pay $12 for one of these
we have a bean taco chicken tacos and hotdogs
I actually need some beer food right now!
That's tasty that is a tasty bean mix get the bean tacos if you come here
or I'm not sharing! Oh look at that! Cheesy goodness!
You haven't been here until you
had the bean taco oh oh no more drinks!
This is the chicken taco! I quite like the shell!
They were originally soft and I think they're flat toasted!
spicy tomato spicy
well I grabbed like I think it's a wheat beer from what I took. And Bek's got a...
what have you got? Probably a dark ale or maybe a stout!
Why are you drinking my beer? Oh. I'm just tasting it! Oh this is your beer...
Well that's delicious Bek! You're on to a winner!
That's great too! I could drink these down by the Stein
okay we're moving because we think this would be a bit of a shelter from the wind!
I like this place. Yeah this would be a local for us like if we lived in
Budapest it's a bit quieter there's not like a lot of music or anything but
really this good quality beers bit cheaper than the other places we've been
to actually like crazy cheap for a delicious beer.... cheers!
oh yeah oh yeah
next Szimpla. This is a simple bar! It doesn't look very simple to me!
Szimpla! The original and probably the most popular ruin bar in Budapest it's by far the
biggest busiest and had the most buzz!
Really random stuff going on in this one! Like who's this guy?
Their beers are delicious thought! I just got an IPA for maybe five dollars for a pint.
Which is pretty cheap across the world, but here that is probably at the higher end!
Cool bar, so much to see!
So we're actually outdoors again now I can actually feel the rain it's raining
a little bit out here through the rain in Africa!
If we were in Africa for sure! This place is huge!
see this going up those stairs there's this whole upstairs section it's so busy
Two of these! Haha - let's shoot! One, Two, Ten!
wow that is amazing! That's my favorite shot ever!
we have to leave at some point
Turns out...if you get here now you actually need to
line up and show your passport so we didn't have to go through any of that
I'll try to calculate what time we entered and put it on the screen now
maybe I'm just trying to calculate which bike I could steal so that we can ride
home a little bit faster! Just a note to viewers we did not steal a bike
So Ross just called to me from across the street. And I thought we were going home...
But it turns out we have one more stop
He just said. Drink this as fast as you can and try to break the Hungarian record!
40%! It's 40%! For those that know me. I'm about 40% alcohol!
this will be okay
But it smells stronger
Apricot! It smells like Apricot! Cheers Hungary!
we love Hungary!
oh yeah apricot! That's good!
I really like it with the olive. You need an olive!
we need an olive foam on the top it's not good enough to just have the olive!
We're past that as a society we've progressed way beyond
There you have it! Cocktails with Ross If you want to see more cocktails across
across Europe then drop us some comments!
Martinis! I don't even know what it tastes like
it's clear, alcoholic, olives!
I won't drink it all at once, that is irresponsible!
Who thought 26 would be this much fun! Cheers!
