By the time you’ve made the journey from Budapest airport to city, you are likely to have built up quite a thirst. Why not ask the driver of your shuttle or transfer to give you some advice as to the best watering holes in the city? You’ll soon know which are the best bars in Budapest.

Bar Domby

Renowned for being one of the best cocktail bars in Budapest, Bar Domby is the first place you should head to wet your whistle. The classy gold and black interior is lined with mirrors, and had you not just experienced the trip from Budapest airport to city centre, you might just think that you’d been transported to New York when you walk into Bar Domby. However, the stylish bar is brimming with unusual tipples and Eastern European specialities that you would not find so easily anywhere else. Highly skilled bar staff will whip you up a treat in minutes, and then leave you to sit back, relax and enjoy the music that fills the bar.

Szoda

This quirky cafe/bar is another oasis that the person driving you from Budapest airport to city is very likely to recommend you visit. If you go to Szoda during the day, be sure to grab a bite to eat; wonderfully tasty breakfast and lunch dishes are served throughout the day, and are even accompanied by free soda from any one of the many soda bottles that line the windows. This bar is popular with the arty and young crowds, which is no surprise when you look at the Japanese Manga cartoons all around, not to mention the funky 70s furniture. Parties in the Szoda bar tend to go on until the early hours so be prepared for a long evening. However, the high spirits emanating from this bar will give you all the energy you need.

Cafe Mediterran

Cafe Mediterran is a great place to take a break once you’ve made it from Budapest airport to city. The cafe on Liszt Ferenc Ter is renowned for its laidback and almost Mediterranean atmosphere. With the red and orange painted walls, and the bamboo seats laid out under sun umbrellas on the square, you might almost believe yourself to be in Spain, particularly as the members of the staff behind the bar will happily serve you sangria. Located opposite Incognito, an infamous Budapest jazz bar, from the Cafe Mediterran you can sit back, relax and enjoy the music spilling out over the square. At night, you’ll also find plenty of partying in the cafe, which hosts events every Friday night; if you like a good dance then there’s no better place to go.
