ブダペストのナイトライフガイド: トップ 30 のバーとクラブ

This is Budapest. Could this be Europe’s most underrated city for nightlife? In this episode the best bars,
nightclubs, rooftops and everything nightife related in Budapest the capital of Hungary. One of the most beautiful cities here in Europe
with a crazy party scene. The Budapest nightife stretches across four major areas. District VII aka the Jewish Quarter,
District VI aka Theresa Town, District V, the Inner City
and District I, also known as the Castle District. In this video we’re going to check out
the famous Budapest ruin bars, Europe’s most insane outdoor pool party by night, some fun interviews, all-you-can-drink boat parties on the Danube River, the best and biggest nightclubs, cozy speakeasies, underground techno, luxurious cocktail bars, fancy rooftop lounges
with incredible views of Budapest, hidden party jams, tips on where to get delicious afterparty food, the best places to mingle with the Hungarian locals, where you can download my Budapest Master Map, and of course getting absolutely wrecked 
by Unicum and Palinka Hungary’s most painful shots. We are kicking off the evening in the 
most popular district. District VII: the Jewish Quarter at Szimpla Kert Szimpla Kert is the most famous
ruin bar in all of Budapest. This is by far one of the most insane bars you’ll ever set foot in. This massive venue spans several floors with open courtyards, mismatched furniture, broken neon 
signs, multiple bars, banged up CRT monitors, random Christmas lighting, and some 
delicious lollipops. In a nutshell, simply contained chaos with a laid-back vibe. What’s the 
best thing about it? The random things everywhere. It’s like walking into a modern art museum. You will 
find a plethora of these ruin bars in-and-around Budapest. Pro tip: do not forget to check out the 
live music room hidden in the far back of the venue. It can get quite touristy but without a 
doubt worth a visit every time. This place is open from 3:00 p.m until 4:00 a.m every single 
day of the week. Right next door you will find Karavan for a quick local Hungarian snack. An open 
air courtyard with food courts serving everything from the famous chimney cakes to meaty dishes and 
cocktails. I came here to try the Hungarian goulash soup and the langos. A langosh here will set 
you back 2800 HUF, roughly $7 USD. Flatbread cheese and sour cream. Oh man, that’s that’s like full-on 
carbs. Definitely could use some greens. I’m not sure about the deep-fried bread though. Very 
tasty. A bowl of goulash soup 3800 HUF, $10 USD Do you have to try it here? …I would stick with 
goulash soup if I were you. The prices here are not the cheapest but the fun outdoor experience 
makes it well worth a visit. Open every day from 11:00 a.m until midnight. It is an extremely hot 
day here in Budapest. In summer here it’s common to go on a boat cruise party so venture out to 
the Danube River to join the biggest weekly boat party in Europe the Danube Boat Party. You will pass 
by the gorgeous Parliament building of Hungary and cruise underneath its many beautiful bridges. 
Expect a good mix of people, an all-you-can-drink party experience and two decks of utter mayhem. 
Tickets just $30 USD, basically an absolute blast I’m from America. Oh where? California! They even 
have some social bingo cards to win some prizes one pro tip: got to be careful on the stairs 
right? The stairs? Careful about the stairs! This cruise takes about two hours
after which you’ll be loaded on a party bus heading towards the next venue which I will cover 
later in this video book your Danube Boat Party tickets by clicking the link in the description 
box below. Next Gozsdu Court, a lively historic passageway filled with restaurants bars and clubs 
my absolute favorite bar here is Blue Bird Karaoke which in the late evening is always a guaranteed 
great time to mingle with other travelers so brush up on your karaoke skills to make a good 
impression here. Beers start at 1500 HUF, $4 USD The entrance is free. If you’re new to Budapest 
and looking to make some new friends join the Budapest Pub Crawl for just $26 USD you will 
hit up three bars and the best nightclub in town special tip visit reformatt.com to get an exclusive 
10% discount on tickets. The Budapest Pub Crawl usually starts at Ruin Brew the perfect place 
to mingle before all mayhem unleashes. This party package includes open bar for beers and cocktails.  
Next, La Siesta. Popular for their fire shows and large dance floor for drinks I suggest you try the 
half liter Hofbrau Munchner wheat beer for just 1300 HUF, $3 USD. Dragging my crawl peers to the next bar. 
What’s the next stop? We’re going to Kazincy Kocsma a karaoke bar a fun laid-back bar located 
down the street of Szimpla Kert, known for its fun karaoke nights. Ending the Pub Crawl at the best 
nightclub in Budapest: Instant-Fogas. This isn’t just a nightclub, it is a complete party 
complex housing seven different nightclubs with each their own vibe and 18 bars from Rammstein to 
techno. The most popular spaces in this venue are the garden courtyard with a circus themed vibe 
and the main dance floor known for its loud EDM beats. There is even a rooftop patio. My 
favorite part about these ruin bars is to just explore it is a true adventure the 
only downside you may get lost well I found the map here i mean look at this place. Where 
am I? Where am I? is a very good question. This place is next-level, a beer here will set you back 
1300 HUF for roughly $3 USD, a gin tonic 2200 HUF, $6 USD Instant is open every single day of the 
week until 6 a.m. However, waiting lines can be extremely long on weekends. Luckily, you have 
two options for a line bypass either pay for VIP which is 2000 HUF, $6 USD or come as 
part of the Budapest Pub Crawl. We have a VIP entrance here, this is amazing! We got no lines! No 
lines! Which also includes free shots upon entry. My most memorable moments here, discovering the 
hidden pizza bar. This is amazing! Being introduced to Palinka by my Hungarian friends. 
Hungary’s national drink. It’s like vodka? No it’s much better 
than vodka! That’s a big statement. Cheers or as they say locally Egészségére 
or Egé for short. Just drink it bro! It started off okay but then it just went downhill! Palinka is an extremely strong fermented 
fruit brandy. I truly enjoyed introducing my Dutch friends to the rough Unicum shots. 
Unicum is a bitter liquor made with 40 different herbs and is considered a local remedy 
here for stomach problems for over 200 years. As you can tell, it is impossible to get 
bored here at Instant-Fogas. My favorite ruin bar has to be Fuge Udvar. I consider this place less 
touristy and a great place to meet Hungarian locals. Bars everywhere this place is massive! 
Just like the other ruin bars, Fuge Udvar comes with multiple floors, a full-blown arcade, a boxing 
ball, foosball tables, a beautiful courtyard beer garden, and even plenty of ping pong tables in the 
basement, enjoy limbo dancing, and a fun dance floor. Beers known locally as Sor 
start at 850 HUF, roughly $2 USD which is very cheap! Your best bet for 
some solid techno is Aether Club. To enter expect to pay 4000 HUF, $11 USD
Aether Club stays open until 6:00 a.m on weekends. Moving on to some excellent cocktail bars in the 
Jewish Quarter. This is Seven! They have some of the best mixologists in Budapest. From their solid 
menu I picked the Indigeno, containing gin, amaretto, dry red wine, and marscapone foam. Absolutely 
delicious! 3000 HUF, $10 USD. Also, I never leave without trying their whiskey sour. Another great 
cocktail bar is Jarden Cocktail Bar in the Gozsdu Court. Perhaps a bit touristy but always a great 
time especially with friends. By far my favorite cocktail bar in the Jewish Quarter is Hotsy Totsy. 
A true hidden gem on a side street which you could easily overlook. Their menu is a deck of cards 
and their mixologists are absolutely fantastic also here go for their whiskey sour craftsmanship 
at its finest. Humbák Borkápolna, the church bar, one of the most bizarre themed bars in Budapest. Complete 
with a confession booth, creepy paintings, church benches, a loaded bar and rails of shots. I am 
not judging. Do I have any confessions to make? Go even more low-key and visit ruin bar Klub Vittula. It 
even smells like a moldy ruin here. Beers start at 600 HUF, $1 USD. Perhaps the cheapest ruin bar in all 
of Budapest. An honorable mention in the Jewish Quarter is grabbing brunch at the most beautiful 
cafe in the entire world, the New York Cafe! I suggest you come here before 2:00 p.m since they 
close off certain parts of the venue for private settings. This is an excellent date spot for its 
absolute gorgeous decor and live musicians. Expect to pay a true premium for coffee, €10 
roughly $11 USD, for a simple cappuccino. Just north of the Jewish Quarter you will find District VI aka 
Theresa Town. Boutiq’Bar is a fantastic cocktail bar which received many awards which makes sense 
when you look at this craftsmanship. I tried their most dangerous cocktail the Space Zombie.
4950 HUF, $14 USD. Served in an Easter Island statue the most dangerous ingredient absinthe. Let the show 
commence. Köszönöm or Köszi for short is thanks in Hungarian. Crazy like it comes up.
The absinthe is crazy. I ended up here actually trying my first shot of Unicum. Oh man, 
I thought it was going to be like Jägermeister but no How do you like it? You will feel it in 
your stomach. One of the best rooftop patios is the 360 Bar for excellent views of 
Budapest. Another fun bar in Theresa Town is Hoff House which has an older crowd and often live 
music. A great place to mingle with the Hungarian locals. Budapest is known as the 
thermal bath capital of the world sitting on over 100 natural hot springs so if you are looking 
for the ultimate spa experience head straight to Széchenyi. By day a stunning thermal bath with 
outdoor pools but on Saturday nights it transforms into one of the wildest parties in Budapest this 
is Sparty one of Budapest’s pricier parties but an experience that will definitely leave you 
richer. Relax in hot spas while watching 
the outdoor rave attended by at least 1,000 crazy party peeps each Saturday. Fire dancers and stage 
performances, laser and light shows, feel your face heat up by the intense fire cannons on the roof,  
and join a human whirlpool mash of mad energy. Sparty tickets start at $70 USD online, or $76 USD
at the door. What a party not the cheapest but definitely a good party. The biggest 
downside here, drinks are very expensive beers start at $6 USD, cocktails start at $17 USD.
Get yourself a 10% discount on tickets by using the link in the description box below. 
Just make sure to bring the following items: a towel, flip-flops, swim gear and 
your ID card, and don’t forget your rubber ducky. Alright, moving on to the Inner City of 
Budapest, District V. If you want to attend a fun early evening event I strongly suggest you join 
the Sip & Sail: Prosecco Cruis. Where you can sip on unlimited amounts of prosecco, aperol spritz,  
mimosa and more. Just like the Danube Boat Party at the Sip & Sail you will also 
cruise by the beautiful Hungarian Parliament building. Hi I’m Bogi, the content creator off the boat.
The content creator of the boat! Apparently, this is the biggest boat party in Europe.
We have unlimited drinks, we have a DJ who plays the best songs, and there is this amazing 
view. Like you can see the parliament and all the big monuments of Budapest. It’s the best combination.
This evening event lasts about 75 minutes and will set you back just $27 USD, tickets in the description 
box below. For a romantic evening head up to the Liz & Chain rooftop offering spectacular views 
of Buda, the Buda Castle, the bridges and the Danube River. A beer here will start at 1900 HUF,  
roughly $5 USD. Wine 3500 HUF, $10 USD. Keep in mind many places do include the service charge so make sure 
not to tip extra cuz you’re paying double. One of the most unique bars in Budapest is the For Sale Pub
famous for its walls and ceilings covered with handwritten post-it notes. Nicknamed “a sea 
of paper”. This place is crazy. It’s like a cave! A fire hazard perhaps. I wonder why. 
Enjoy live music and some free nuts. A beer here will set you back just $4 USD.
For some traditional dancing, venture out to Toldi Klub. I popped in here at 3:00 
a.m and had a blast watching Hungarian folk dancing. Elizabeth Square in the inner city you will find
many bars and clubs like Fröccsterasz, a fun outdoor style 
beer garden for some more Palinka shots. At the riverside you will find two 
super fun venues. Raqpart is located on the south side of the Széchenyi chain bridge.
A solid outdoor bar with mostly a young crowd. However, it can get extremely 
packed here with long lines at the bar everybody’s trying to get in but it’s like 
it’s so there’s so many people there which is the reason why the party often pours out 
into the streets just make sure not to trip and fall on your face. I personally preferred 
Pontoon on the north side of the chain bridge with an upstairs bar and a techno DJ on the main 
floor while you enjoy these beautiful views of the Széchenyi chain bridge. As I promised at 
the beginning of the video let’s pick up where we left off after the Danube Boat Party, the 
party bus towards Morrison’s 2. Located in District V, another 
massive party complex with a ton of bars seven dance floors and a variety of music genres. 
Right oh oh you got a selection to make here, karaoke or hip-hop. Hop into the karaoke 
room. We got talent we got talent in the house! Who’s strangling the cat? Strangling a cat? 
The hip-hop room, the house room the large outdoor heated courtyard, play some 
billiards with the Hungarian locals. I wonder how many beers have been spilled on this billard field. Oh my god. 
Or opt-in for the all-you-can-drink package. Beers start at 700 HUF, $2 USD. Gin tonics $10 USD. Show your 
Pub Crawl wristband for additional discounts on drinks at the bar. The most messed up part here,  
the hostel upstairs imagine trying to sleep here at night a notable mention is known for its two 
dance floors playing top 40 and reggaeton. Do keep in mind this place gets packed so come early. Wow 
look at this line, this is insane! The entrance $10 USD. Let’s cross the Danube River to Buda. 
District I, the famous castle district. Drop by the Fisherman’s Bastion in the early evening 
for some fun photography as you can tell here at sunset it’s an absolute tourist magnet like 
try to get in there this place looks straight out of a fairy tale but was actually built as a 
fortress in the late 1800s as you can tell it’s quite a complex you’ll be exploring here for at 
least a couple hours so make sure to calculate that into your schedule there isn’t much nightife 
in District 1 however it does have a couple of incredible rooftops this is Leo Rooftop situated 
on the eighth floor of Hotel Clark with excellent views of the Danube River, Chain Bridge and Buda 
Castle. It is a selfie magnet, they also offer eyepopping dishes. Beers start at 1450 HUF roughly 
$4 USD. Definitely an excellent date spot for another amazing date spot head to the White Raven Sky 
Bar where you’ll find the absolute best views of Budapest stunning panoramas and luxurious 
lounges it comes as no surprise that the drinks come with a hefty price tag cocktails start at $15 
the best part here is the few of Fisher’s passion that’s crazy budapest also counts a huge amount of 
incredible music festivals like the Sziget Festival one of Europe’s biggest festivals drawing 500,000 
visitors each August to Óbuda Island in Budapest featuring over 1,000 performances spanning rock 
pop electronic and world music. O.Z.O.R.A. The O.Z.O.R.A. Festival Hungary’s largest psychedelic trans 
festival drawing 50,000 attendees which kicks off in the last week of July for an unforgettable week 
of music art and unity attend the Budapest Wine and Champagne Festival at Liberty Square a six-day 
event featuring the top Hungarian wineries with incredible food selections taking place during the 
last week of August foods drinks really anything really oh oysters oh as you can tell there are 
a ton of places to visit in Budapest to ensure you make the most of your time in each district I 
highly recommend you download my Budapest master map it includes all the locations mentioned in 
this video neatly clustered together for easy navigation plus a ton of extras just click the 
link in the description box below to download my Budapest master map or any of my other master maps 
like Amsterdam, Prague, London, Singapore, Dubai, and Tokyo. This is the most in-depth Budapest nightlife 
guide I’ve ever created so please give this video a big like and sit tight for my bonus tips you 
can also visit Szimpla Kert during the daytime for a cold pint or a casual coffee remember this place 
is open every single day of the week. Stifler Haz a fun ruin bar which I sadly discovered on the last 
day of my stay in Budapest with billiards in the basement and beers just $3 USD cocktails $5 USD.
Balagan, a beautiful cocktail bar located next to Instant-Fogas. The most common afterparty foods 
in Budapest are gyriss and kebabs. You will find plenty of places in the Jewish Quarter serving 
them all night long these places are open 24 hours. There’s not much more I mean you can get a 
slice of pizza but trust me stick with the kebabs add some cheese it’s delicious for local dishes 
I strongly recommend you try the Hungarian meat stew at Frici Papa the paprika meat crepes called 
hortobagyi palacsinta at Kisharang Etkezde I hope I said that right. Visit the most beautiful 
jungle style restaurant Twentysix and try one of their excellent dishes. VakVarjú Restaurant for its unique 
playful decor and excellent goulash soup one of the most fun and unique experiences in Budapest 
is Budapest shooting one of Europe’s largest gun ranges select one of their incredible packages 
for a fun afternoon of unloading lead the best part the Escobar golden gun package the Escobar 
special i’m not sure if you can drink and shoot but perhaps there is some sort of combo oh oh I 
don’t know about that or try the massive Barrett M99. I selected the Eastern Block package seven 
guns and 50 shots for 27,000 for 83 bucks not too bad not too bad you see these small holes that’s 
a smaller caliber so it’s most likely it came from a handgun another fun place is the Flipper Museum 
europe’s largest interactive pinball museum with 140 playable pinball machines there’s even 
a bar up here oh look at this wow overload on an unlimited supply of sugary drinks that’s 
crazy man these are absolutely ancient 1933 this before World War II for transportation Budapest 
has one of the oldest tram systems in the entire world dating back to 1887 my favorite means of 
transportation was renting the MOL Bubi bicycles super convenient and if you are on a tight budget make 
sure to do all your grocery shopping at Lidl. In conclusion, Budapest is cool and underground 
a city that doesn’t try to impress but ends up just doing that it is one of Europe’s top party 
hops especially for the 18 to 25 year olds and a transit city for backpackers that said Budapest 
is a solid weekend trip best enjoyed with friends but even if you are running solo a pub crawl will 
sort you out.

  3. Unreal video, going next month and this video will be used alot, fun videos to watch and give great idea of what to expect. Glad to have discovered your channel keep it up!

  4. hey bro, nice video! iam interested in the pub bar crawl. but on your link there are so many pub bar option. can u tell me the direct link to that bar crawl tour, that you did?

  5. Ok, so i'm hungarian and i get around a lot. I can confidently say that you should NOT go to any of these places mentioned in the video. They are huge rip-offs and tourist traps, very few actual locals go to these bars, if you are looking for authenticity it's not here. Generally avoid guided bar tours too.
