Wonderful vistas, deliciously intoxicating drinks, hammocks, fine beats, friends and everything you love about Budapest summertime in one place at the foot of the Chain Bridge. This is PONTOON, one of the most popular hangouts in Budapest during the warmer months. This cool alfresco riverside bar hibernates in the winter, but now as warm rays of springtime sunshine are here, it wakes up to once again await cool crowds to party under the stars. DJ sets and live music, creative alcoholic concoctions and tasty bites can be expected during the opening weekend, which starts tonight. See you there!

PONTOON provides a mini festival every day during summer; people laze around in hammocks, groups of friends gossip, couples canoodle while hanging their legs over the Danube, and when night falls everybody dances around under the open skies. Surrounding all of this, the Castle, the Chain BridgeFishermen’s Bastion and the Buda skyline provide the city’s most picturesque backdrop. PONTOON normally hosts concerts, film screenings, parties, activities for kids and other events throughout the summer. During the opening weekend, DJ parties, acoustic concerts and live jamming awaits visitors, so definitely do not miss out on a drink at this really cool club – see some photos from last year as a little teaser below.
