Cinco de Mayo Pub Crawl Budapest
Far from Mexico but close to a great night out — join our Cinco de Mayo bar tour through Budapest's famous ruin bars and party district.
Free Champagne Shots to Kick Off the Night
To mark Cinco de Mayo right, we hand out free champagne shots to every pub crawler who joins us at our nightly meeting point: Oktogon, 9 pm sharp, in front of the Burger King. Just ask your AllNightCrash guide when you arrive.
After that, the standard Budapest pub crawl format takes over — four bars with welcome shots at each, finishing with VIP entry into one of the downtown clubs or discos in the party district.
What Is Cinco de Mayo?
Cinco de Mayo marks Mexico's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on 5 May 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. In the United States it became a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture. Budapest may not be Mexico, but any occasion worth raising a glass to is worth celebrating on a pub crawl.
The Bars: Ruin Pubs and Party District Clubs
The route takes in some of Budapest's most well-known ruin bars, including Szimpla Kert and Instant-Fogas, before heading into the wider party district. The exact lineup varies by night, but the formula is the same: warm-up drinks in atmospheric ruin bars, then a high-energy club finish with our VIP entry.
If you want the full rundown of what makes these venues tick, the ruin bars guide covers each one. For a private group booking — stag parties, birthday groups, corporate — see the private pub crawl page.
