Indie Movie Theater · Felhévíz · 16 tips and reviews
Nora Selmeczi: Once a tiny little movie theater, Bem now hosts a shabby, fashionable bar. The sour-sweet smell is unmistakable when passing by the shop front. It's also relatively expernsive and dog-friendly.
Frankel Leó u. 2-4. (Bem József tér), Budapest, Budapest
Café · Víziváros · 66 tips and reviews
Nora Selmeczi: The go-to retro place throws one back into the arid days of the Kádár regime. Hugely popular among local snobs. It's a place that grows on practically everyone.
Nora Selmeczi: From drunken neighbor to grandpa to engineering student and punks, everyone loves the iconic 'Csempés'. Choose any 'kommersz' drink and chase it with beer.
Iskola u. 36 (Gyorskocsi utca), Budapest, Budapest
Pub · Várnegyed · 16 tips and reviews
Nora Selmeczi: György Petri, the great poet practically lived here in his last years, Isolabella is an ancient, revered site of worship of beverages. Time stands still here.
Nora Selmeczi: Delirium, what else? Don't think of the pink elephant, just keep drinking fine Belgian beers. If service is sub-par, steal a chair. True story.
Nora Selmeczi: If you went to highschool in the hood, you know it by heart: Friday evening, Gabi bácsi, Szalmaszál. If you didn't, just drop by and enjoy a dirt cheap drink and marvel and the couleur locale.
Nora Selmeczi: Ah, the nostalgy of having 5 shots of Sierra Silver tequila before noon! Go for the 'daily menu' for bewilderingly cheap drinks and enjoy blissful drunkenness at any given time.
Hungarian Restaurant · Víziváros · 11 tips and reviews
Nora Selmeczi: It's ancient and it's the place my grandfather likes to frequent to meet his shady childhood friends. He also frequently mentions having grappa here.
