  • 5/5 Peter Viktor Wagner (. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere and very nice environment. The entire palace is very creatively designed, the re-call of the movies is very impressive. People are surprisingly friendly, and the staff is also nice and professional. The toilets are clean and also the entire place. Prices are below average and they have common bar-food, so worth every penny, give it a try, you won’t regret. It’s a really great place for a small talk with your friends as well. Unfortunately, can’ be reached by wheelchair.

    Good bar set one street back from the main strip,this bar is very easy to miss and that’s a shame as it has so much to offer,it’s especially good if you like thrash/death metal as that is what this bar is all about. Decor is very horror film orientated but that coupled with the music seems to work very well. Recommended to metal heads,and the beer is pretty cheap to.

    Saturday night visit. Every single table was reserved and the bar line was very long. Luckily grabbed the only 2 bar stools to enjoy a few drinks at. Super dope metal bar with horror decor. Viking vibes too.

    Really unique horror themed bar providing rock music ambience. Cocktails all themed and very tasty. Price very reasonable for how strong the drinks are made

    I can imagine my teenage room would look similar to this if my parents had given me free-range to decorate it. Weird, strange, a bit gimmicky. Not your typical touristy place. Good if you want to get away from the crowded bars. Drinks were decent and cheap.

    It’s a really good theme bar but for me the draw was really the music which was a nice combo of mainly metal music. Definitely kept us there longer than intended and brought us back for a second visit. Weirdly the second time we went they turned off the music so a patron could watch YouTube on his laptop? No idea what went on there.

    I go to ParaNoir for the constant, relatively loud and havier range of metal music and video screen. The design, public, staff and prices match the metal madness. Friendly and dark. Nothing fancy and decent local prices. Thanks for last night. The music list was perfect. - a local Hungarian

    visited this amazing place back in september. The atmosphere was great , paintongs and decorations all over the place, names of the drinks were based on true movies and they were also great! beer very good too. Prices very cheap, totally recommend to anyone staying in Budapest to at least stop by for one drink.

    If you are looking for a bit strange, weird, horror-y, gimmicky place, this is your bar. Cheap drink options, super friendly staff. (shout-out for the purplish haired lady for triple checking if she heard right what we wanted to order!!) and a very nice atmoshphere. The only downside is that there is no air-con inside, and the place gets humid and hot in a few hours.

  • 5/5 Daniil K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great music and cheap drinks. Only wish the music was a bit louder. But good to go with friends for a drink and chat

  • 5/5 Brandon L. 11 months ago on Google
    As a horror fan, it's a must visit. Horror and sci-fi themed cocktails that are strong, but affordable. The bartender was friendly, and knew English, which is great (considering our Hungarian is non-existent). They play mostly metal, but some occasional rock songs from other genres. Can't wait to come back!

  • 4/5 Avery “AveryCloseCall” A. 4 months ago on Google
    Hidden little metal bar not far from the party area, with a nice space, good sound, a good whisky selection for a dive, and corny decorations like a Halloween discount shop. Lots of tables to sit at, good lighting, few beers, and no stage. I went in November on a Tuesday at 9pm and (as you might expect) it was pretty dead. Locals chatted at one table, and that's it. If you want a quiet, alternative bar for a group to sit down, this is it. Don't see a kitchen, but maybe they have food?

  • 5/5 Norbert U. 6 months ago on Google
    It's a pretty good metal pub near to the center. Drinks are fairly cheap compared to the location, the service is friendly, everybody is really nice.

  • 5/5 Tekla S. 7 months ago on Google
    Always a great choice, with awesome decor! A must see for any horror fan visiting Budapest! Super convenient central location too!

  • 5/5 Michelle A. 6 months ago on Google
    The pub it's really good quiet and de coctel are amazing I recommend 100 %

  • 3/5 Egle B. 8 months ago on Google
    The music was good, they played melodic metal/rock. The interior is really interesting, it has a theme of horror movies. The service wasnt good, the bartender was really rude.

  • 4/5 David N. 8 months ago on Google
    Cool looking rock bar near the centre of budapest with cheap beer

  • 4/5 Paritossh S. 9 months ago on Google
    GREAT metal pub. Unfortunately they didn't have the house beer but one of those places I keep revisiting

  • 4/5 Janine S. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice, horror themed bar! It's a little bit weird that they're calling all their cocktails long drinks on the menu even though at least some of them are shaken, but that's just me nitpicking. Nice atmosphere, good music and a pretty neat gimmick.

  • 5/5 Bence L. 3 years ago on Google
    Cool pub with fair prices, nice crew, decoration based on a Horroristic theme and good variety of mostly hard music. This over-all gives ParaNoir a vibe which is unique amongst the "rock pubs" of the city.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great prices just outside of the tourist centre. Has much more of a local feel The waitress was very good. The place itself is great, with the decoration being based on horror films. The music was good, but quiet enough to be able to talk comfortably. I'd happily go back!

  • 4/5 VASILIKI 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Alen M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Emphex T. 4 years ago on Google
    Great pub. Lovely staff and awesome selection of beers. Very friendly and if you're a metaller /goth / non normal, then this place will make you feel totally at home.

  • 5/5 Aggelos B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great rock bar. Not loud but very good music. The bartender girl was the most pleasant person we ve seen in all Budapest. Also very good prices and decorations.

  • 5/5 Carrie B. 5 years ago on Google
    A goth type theme that runs throughout but quite a casual atmosphere. Lots of seating and large heavy wooden tables which would suit large groups. This is a nice place for meeting up with friends or just a quiet drink. Not too noisy and the staff are nice. I had an enjoyable time here.

  • 5/5 Eric E. 5 years ago on Google
    Wonderful dark themed pub. Very welcoming atmosphere and more than fair prices. Staff speaks english, is ectraordinarily friendly and even offers advice on where to go next. Would totally vist it again. Absolut recommendation.

  • 1/5 Salah D. 1 year ago on Google
    The decoration is cheesy, sound quality is horrible… only one server who was rude and made us the worse two cocktails I’ve tried in my life.

  • 3/5 Nick v. 4 years ago on Google
    Great theme but the place was dead when I was there. You could barely hear the music it was down so low. Beer prices were very reasonable though.

  • 4/5 Celia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing interior, friendly bartender (despite the language barrier), prices are low, music is great. Only con is there were no cocktails available.

  • 5/5 David A. 1 year ago on Google
    ParaNoir is a unique horror-themed dive bar. The prices are good, and the atmosphere is on-point. It's near the party district, but don't expect many non-Hungarians to be there, as it's mostly frequented by locals.

  • 5/5 Mary 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place... Great music extremely cheep drink options. I really hope I get the chance to visit again.

  • 5/5 a Minion of S. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome music, friendly staff, a real grunge gem.

  • 2/5 Ralta 2 years ago on Google
    Looked cool but was very unwelcoming. Advertises cocktails and when we asked about them, bartender said "we no have." That would be no problem if it weren't for how bored and annoyed the guy looked when we asked for a dreher and Kingswood instead. Real shame because the aesthetic is awesome and the music is good too.
