Holdudvar Budapest
Since 2006 Holdudvar in Budapest is located on Margit sziget instead of the university. If you enter Margit sziget from Margit bridge you have to walk about 500m into the island and you will see the lights of Holdudvar which they became famous for (See picture below).
The place is quiet cool as it is an old house renovated very good in the middle of the island. Actually the place is the same except from the nice university wall surounding the place. In my eyes Holdudvar in Budapest is a little bit too large so it is hard that some kind of party feeling gets up. In the old Holdudvar you were standing almost on your neighbours feet so you had to do what the people around you did… dance.
By now Holdudvar also offers a lot of different kind of food so it almost became a restaurant during the day time and the early evening. Nevertheless it is still one of the coolest open air places in Budapest and definetly worth a visit.
Adress: Margit sziget, entrance Margit island

John’s Pub
Cheap prices in touristic area
John’s Pub in Budapest is not really a special pub except from the fact that you get quiet cheap beer and other drink right on Vaci utca the touristic center of Budapest. Sourrounded by typical tourist blood sucking restaurants John’s Pub still offers good and fair prices for their drinks. I know that you can eat there as well but as I always went there for the beer I have no idea about if the food is good or not or if the prices are fair as well.

Pub or club?
Macskafogó is a place near the Budapest parliament where I cannot decide if it is a club or a pub or even a restaurant. When I have been there the first time I thought it was a club with places to sit but when I visited their website I read that they call themselves a “Music Pub”.
