Ruin bars are unique to Budapest. They occupy derelict Austro-Hungarian-era buildings that have been transformed into atmospheric venues — think exposed brickwork, mismatched vintage furniture and a distinct underground aesthetic. Most are in the 7th district (the party district). Our pub crawl visits the best ones, and you can also explore them with our ruin bar guide.

A pub crawl (also called a bar tour or bar-hopping) is the act of visiting multiple bars in a single night, moving between them on foot or by public transport. Many European cities run organised crawls that combine nightlife with meeting fellow travellers.

"Pub" is short for public house — a licensed establishment selling alcoholic drinks, historically the social heart of British and Irish communities. Samuel Pepys described it in the 17th century as "the heart of England".
