The regular Monday night event “ChIllegal” (Illegal Pub –VI. Kazinczy u. 4.) provides irregular DJ sessions and of course discounts (330Ft/4cl) on shots on three different floors, and as it is frequented by many students, you will always find a partner in crime.
Make Tuesday your night in by going out to BlackPool (IX. Vámház körút 15.). The undersized bar and the dimly lit space with its TVs, pool tables and darts will make you and your friends feel as if you were pregaming at home. Too boyish?
Dump the guys and hit the sub’, girls, to a world of biscuits and pink (macarons too) at La Delizia (VI. Jókai utca 13.). Better yet, you can take little pieces of heaven home too.
The pivot of the week is Wednesday; since you can already feel the weekend approaching the only thing you need to tilt is some good old rock music. If you want something more local than Hard Rock Café Budapest, check in to our Old Man’s (VII. Akácfautca. 13.). Dinner and drinks with 100% live rock and roll from professionals and talented amateurs. Entering or leaving, make sure to check out the musician museum also located in the pub.Thursday is basically Friday so how about some cocktails? There’s a cellar in the city full of Cuban communist props with over a 100 cocktail recipes, 52 kinds of rum and 22 kinds of vodka. So think further than G&T’s and Cosmopolitans and let yourself be guided by the boys and girl of Rumba Mama (IX. Lónyay utca 27.). Allow them to unleash their creativity and be not surprised if next time you return, the bartenders will still remember your name and what you drank.There is a time and a place to be a geek: Friday at the Comics Shottail Bar (VI. Dohány utca 7.). So choose your superhero or your favorite supervillain off the menu and find out what makes Captain America so strong (vodka, curacao, raspberry syrup) and what’s behind Lex Luthor’s evil (absinth). Also watch out for a real-life Wonder Woman offering you free drinks. SUPERHEROES ONLY!
On Saturday, suit up and get down! The Moulin Rouge (VI. Nagymező u. 17.) in motion since 1898 in the center of Budapest Broadway can be better described as a music theater offering a wide variety of pop, rock, funky, 80’s disco, R’n’B and house music matched in an interior of the passé with gold, bourdon velvet, and brown leather. So feel free to take a seat in a box with dinner and a bucket of champagne included or dance the night away on stage!
Even the people of Budapest take a rest on a Sunday… preferably on cushions or bean bags with a cup of tea in their hands and with no shoes on their feet. Refresh your system with tea or a session at the oxygen bar at the Red Lion Teahouse (VI. Jókai tér 8.).
Finally, just sit back, relax and realize that next week is going to be just another ordinary week in Budapest!
