Get ready for an absolutely crazy adventure! Imagine an alien living in a telephone booth, a disco ball shaped like a pig, a Trabant car sawn in half, a bar counter in a sink, giant rabbits, paintings in gilded frames hung on walls covered in stickers - the wild mix of steampunk, granny loft, and shabby chic - welcome to Budapest's ruin bars. In these bars, you can do anything from visiting an exhibition or performance to renting a bike, trying stuffed sausages or Jewish cuisine, and sipping unusual cocktails served in chemical flasks. And let's not forget about the slot machines, table football, labyrinths of graffiti-painted corridors, and flights of stairs and gardens. And, most importantly, an amazing atmosphere of drive, freedom, and inclusiveness! Even if you're not a fan of alcohol, and parties, you'll find yourself drawn to this charming madness. Each bar has its unique charm, and you'll love exploring them all to discover the Hungarian alternative culture and make new friends.
