Like any capital worth its malt, Budapest offers its visitors a bevy of options for boozin' and schmoozin' in, from refined cafes and wine bars (Hungarian wine is very tasty and well-priced!), to dirty drinking dives and cutting-edge clubs.
During summer much of the action moves outside to barges on the Danube, open-air discos on the islands and hard-to-find 'ruin bars' (ask a local!). Wherever you end up you'll find the Hungarian people friendly drinking partners and chances are you won't be home much before sunrise... Check out our bars and clubs directory for some great ideas on where to sink a Palinka or two.
RACIST and NOTHING TO DO WITH IRELAND DESPITE THE NAME AND COLOURS ON THE SIGN! - This is the worst pub/club I have ever been in. I was in here around 4 hours before I realised they were racist. It was a Monday night, and was 1/2 price drinks, although the extremely unfriendly barmaid initially tried to charge full price. Hours later I was ordering 2 beers, when I noticed heinous wooden carvings of 2 black people begging (they had even put some real coins in their outstretched hands!). I took some pictures of this and asked to cancel the beers and immediately walked out - the nasty barmaid, with the doormen (who I have since been told work for BlueTeam Security - and are known locally as Racist and Thugs) followed me up the street demanding I come back and pay for the 2 beers I cancelled - I refused showing the pictures on my phone - one Doorman punched me across the chest - at this stage I walked onto the busy road way so to draw attention to what was happening - they followed me for a bit but eventually gave up - Budapest is a lovely place - but this club and the people who work there are everything that is bad about Budapest.
I agree! We returned to Morrison's 2 twice during 4 days in Budapest! Loved the music, the drinks and the people
