Not a ruin bar

Dec 2019 • Couples

Not a proper ruin bar, could be the Worst bar in town, smells funny and heavy rock music playing. Bar next door which is not on the map is better.
Should be taken off the ruin bar list.

Worst Bar in Budapest

Nov 2019

This is the worst bar in Budapest. I’ve been to all the others. I kept trying it, hoping for a better experience, but it never happened. Every time I am disappointed. It smells bad. It’s littered and dirty, and they leave casks and crates and cleaning implements lying around. On my last visit I met the surliest, rudest bartender I ever met. They had no red wine, so I had to have white. It was presented with total rudeness. Then I was told that I could not stand at the bar and had to sit down. I drank the wine in a single draft and left. Awful experience.

So bad it was funny.

Nov 2019

Ordered rum and coke. Batman tried to put it in a large water glass, after a bit of chat and pointing he agreed to make the drink in a normal short glass that they had behind the bar. He was so angry at having to give us the glass we wanted he was shaking putting the drink together. Funniest thing to watch. The bar itself is tiny and not set up well. Better pretty much anywhere else on the city.

Very disappointed

Oct 2019 • Couples

Horrible atmosphere. Surrounded by rude staff who did nothing to help. Music is good to warrant 2 stars. Bar is incredibly small and a terrible toilet in the entire place.

Kitsch communism

Jul 2019 • Family

Fun place, cheap as chips during happy hour but pretty empty. I suspect it’s good fun in the evening. Suitably amusing kitsch communist artwork on walks.
