They\u2019re one of the highlights of Budapest\u2019s nightlife and essential to any Hungary trip. Here’s a sampling of Budapest’s best ruin pubs.<\/p>\n

Szimpla Kert (Simple Garden)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just mention Szimpla<\/a> in Budapest and you\u2019ll be hard pressed to find a local or even a tourist who hasn\u2019t heard of this pub. One of the original ruin pubs in Budapest, Szimpla has everything you\u2019d expect in a ruin pub like mismatching furniture, funky \u201cDIY\u201d lighting, and multiple themed rooms to suit your mood. Feeling a bit retro tonight? Hang out in the room decorated from floor to ceiling in old TVs and stereos.<\/p>\n

Instant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feeling a little bit artsy? Head over to Instant<\/a>, the biggest ruin pub in the city with 26 rooms, where the music is pumping and the d\u00e9cor is wild, literally. This self-proclaimed “enchanted forest of ruin pubs” features\u00a026 rooms, seven bars, two gardens and seven stages. Be sure to look up to the ceiling for a view of bunnies, owls and pigs suspended in mid-air above you. Fancy a dance? Head downstairs to the gutted basement where the DJ is pumping the latest beats.<\/p>\n

Corvintet\u0151 (Corvin Terrace)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dubstep for days! Don\u2019t let that Spar grocery store sign fool you, this building is anything but. Step inside Corvintet\u0151<\/a>, or Corvin terrace, and head upstairs to find a ruin pub (more like ruin club) where the speakers are blaring and everyone is having a good time. Be careful when leaving\u2014depending on how much fun you\u2019ve had, the trippy hallway on the way out might just leave your head spinning.<\/p>\n

Fogasz Haz (House of Teeth)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The name Fogasz Haz<\/a> comes from the old sign outside for what used to a \u201ctooth repair\u201d place but inside you\u2019ll find a bar, dance floor, garden, clothing store and more. In true ruin pub style you\u2019ll find all kinds of artwork and d\u00e9cor such as floating vases with a single rose in each and giant smile print outs all around the garden, an ode to what the building used to be.<\/p>\n

Anker\u2019t is the largest courtyard bar in Budapest with a clean, minimalist, chic design. Open in summer\/spring, you can grab some cocktails and play a game of soccer on its sandy urban beach during the day or party it up on the dance floor at night.<\/p>\n
