Holdudvar – A good place to be
Right now I am sitting in Holdudvar in Budapest, as they describe themselves a restaurant, bar, garden, gallery and open air cinema. It is really a great place to be. They have free WLAN which allows me to write this post, it is quiet because it is in the middle of Margit island and on a warm summer day you can sit in the sunshine and have a beer, cocktail, some other drink or eat something.
I would describe the holdudvar as an open air bar, restaurant and party place (thursday till saturday). During the day you can eat and discuss while at night you can dance, listen to music and drink. I have to admit that at the moment Holdudvar is my favourite place to be. I was working a bit from here while having a beer and listening to some music in the backgroung.
In Holdudvar the prices are average for Budapest level so you pay 550 HUF for a beer (Becks) which is around 2,20€ or around 5€ for a decent cocktail. The place itself is built upon an old Casino which used to be on the Margit island and includes a massive outside area with several bars, table tennis, csocsó tables (table football) ad much more. At night the fantastic lights of Holdudvar are shining, the Pálinka bar is open and you can dance inside.
By the way, I just checked for “Holdudvar Budapest” in Google and I realized that there is a GOogle maps apearing in first place, showing Holdudvar still on Múseum Körút 8 which is the old place of Holdudvar when it used to be in the university. Great times but over Google it is now on Margit island.
