We organised to celebrate my partner's birthday here. My partner was liaising with Norbert who I must say went above and beyond to make this a memory that is truly memorable.
Norbert organised a wonderful table for us and made us all feel very welcome. We were then served by Melinda who was possibly the most wonderful waitress I have ever had the pleasure of being served by. From start to finish Melinda was friendly and helpful to the nth degree. She actually looked like she derived pleasure from providing top drawer customer service and making sure the customer is happy. Blue Fox, you have a star in your midst!
The cocktail list was impressive and the Norbert and Melinda were on hand to offer expert advice. We definitely enjoyed the unique offerings. The staff were also kind enough to let us order meals from the Es restaurant attached to the hotel rather than just from the Blue Fox mini burger set. I got the cheese burger, which was great, but also terribly well priced.
To top off a fabulous evening Melinda brought out a little cake for my partner from the Blue Fox team to say happy birthday. These small touches are never overlooked. A huge thank you to Norbert, Melinda and the Blue Fox team!

A night of hotel bar hopping, ended up in Blue Fox through a recommendation and very disappointed with the live music as it was haunting and very loud, could not hear a thing. The lounge would be great if they only played some great background music.

Dear SimonR416,
First and foremost, thank you so much for taking the time and sharing with us your review on Tripadvisor.
We are delighted that you have visited our bar and have been impressed by the quality service and have tried the specialities from our creative Elysium menu card, including our "Sarcasm" cocktail.
Nevertheless, I was alarmed to read that your concerns were not addressed during your visit and that we let you go in such a negative note. Please accept our sincere apologies. We believe that flexibility is imperative in this sense and regret that we could not demonstrate all the options to meet your taste.
In hopes to rectify this less than flawless cocktail experience with us, we would very much like to welcome you back in the future and remains with best regards (and cheers!) until we meet again.
Kind regards,
Norbert Margitics

Average cocktails with a slow service.... Plenty of staff but not sure what they were all doing. Nice surroundings and a pretty cool bar but I wouldn't go back.

The Blue Fox is really attached to the Kempinski hotel in Budapest, and can be entered from either inside or the street. It's not a huge space, but it's comfortable, and the staff are accommodating. One of the high spots is the snacks menu, which includes some bites from Nobu which is also located in the hotel. Awesome.
There are two different cocktail menus - make sure you get both. One is more familiar, the other contains quite a few "showy" drinks, all with something to make them unique. I popped in a couple of times during my stay - it's the kind of place where you can meet friends or be undisturbed drinking a glass on your own.
It's not big, it's not particularly hip or happening, but if you want a really good cocktail, attentive service, and some creative mixology, it's very much worth a try.

Connected to the Kempinski, Blue Fox the Bar is a very convenient bar for us to use when we are staying in Budapest.
As well being air conditioned indoors, there is a very confortable seating area outside that we regularly use.
In addition to the usual bar drinks, they have a good range of non-alcoholic cocktails and you can also order coffees and tea.
What makes this bar stand out is the very friendly and obliging staff.
Thank you all very much, and see you again soon.
