An old building left half-crumbling and filled with mismatched chairs, bathtub sofas and a battered Trabant. That's how the 'ruin bar' started, and it became the face of Budapest nightlife. Every room has its own music and lighting, so a single lap is a show in itself. On Sunday mornings the same courtyard hosts a farmers' market.
