So you made it to Budapest, soaked in thermal baths, enjoyed the food and…now what?
Let's be honest, you’ve failed it big time, if you don’t end up checking out the nightlife in Budapest.
And the Szimpla Kert bars here are pretty sick.
Now, watch carefully, you’re going to need this. This is where we are, on the Pest side.
A mere 10 min walk from Deak Ferenc or a 15 min walk from St Stephen’s Basilica.
But let’s just not jump the gun just yet, to get the ultimate nightlife experience,
here’s a very decent street food market nearby. Remember to grab a bite before you
have a drink or two or ten! Drinking on an empty stomach never ends well!
As soon as you walk in, you’ll be in hipster paradise, cosy setting, trendy food trucks
and a quirky twist of Hungarian traditional and modern dishes. These Vegan chimney cake
rolls will leave you salivating, next one, a langos-style deep fried burger, goulash
and the beer garden.
And once you’re done here, up your game
at the Szimpla Kert ruin bars, the biggest alternative scene of Budapest. Looking…huuuuuge!
Don’t let it fool you, this rather inconspicuous exterior of the Budapest ruin bar will take
you by surprise. Whenever you see a queue… It must be good.
Calling all Instagrammers, clubbers and conversation lovers.
There are so many cool places in here and I don't really know which one to settle on.
A weird mix of Shisha bars, artisan almost shaped to perfection French bread phallus,
hand-me-down toilet seats and many other peculiarities. They're are all jumbled up in these hazy, almost
claustrophobic rooms. I must say, they create a very unconventional interior that’s rather
tricky to find elsewhere in Europe.
What’s on the cards? Dim rooms with 80’s disco balls and bright lights going round
in circles to the psychedelic funk… and the surreal passageway. Let me tell you once
you’re in, you’re definitely. Experiencing. The. Total. Liberation. Of. Your. Minddddd
and ultimate sensory stimulation.
Day or night, Szimpla Kert sees the crowds flocking in. Farmer’s Market, flee market
and community by day. Gigs, open-air cinema and alternative nightlife scene by night.
The choice is yours.
Szimpla Kert is diverse, that’s what I know for sure.
We were amazed at this picture perfect, labirynth with hundreds of Instagrammable spots.
Our take on it? It transpires Budapest’s shifting drinking culture. Welcome to the family.
Let me tell you, the Budapest nightlife experience did not fail to impress me. And that was just
one of the many experiences Budapest has to offer. If you haven’t subscribed to our
