This place is the coolest. Great beers from Hungary, great food, and great atmosphere. My one regret is that I didn't come here more.

Lovely little pub - we went there at the wee hours of the night, so there's not much I can say about the nightly atmosphere. However, the daylight hours are relaxed, and that suited us just fine. You can have a conversation at that time for sure, they don't blare unnecessary music. I've been told there's funny graffiti in the women's bathroom, but sadly the man's bathroom is just a bathroom. Someone put something funny in there, lol.

Great little hidden away spot. Only discovered it on the way to the Aldi! Food was delicious and lots of craft beers to discover. A Hungarian Hipsters paradise. Would definitely go again

Excellent selection of craft beers. If you are an American looking for either west or east coast IPAs, this is the place! It is located in a brick alley (with covered roof). Friendly dogs visit from table to table. There is a bar on one side of the courtyard and a place to order food on the other. Not vegetarian. It's a hipster hideaway

Nice popular stylish pub for young people. Friendly staff. Food and beer are great too. It is possible to watching sport on TV or listening music. Varied offer of beer and spirits. Delicious sandwiches and sausages. Toilets could be in better conditions.

A rambling covered courtyard surrounded by interesting bars variously serving wine, beer, spirits and food. I had a few good beers from the impressive selection and a very decent pulled pork sandwich. However, it fails to get 5* because the staff are entitled and “too cool for school.” Despite myself extending every courtesy I was met with studied indifference at best as these sulky, charmless young adults moped around in a bored fashion. To add insult to injury, despite going to the bar myself to get served each time, a compulsory service tip was added. I blame management for allowing these people to behave like this. I certainly would not, and neither do the management of plenty of establishments in Budapest with young staff who make a real effort and care.

Great bar to chill and enjoy astonishing variaty of beers. The atmosphere is stunning.

nice environment and friendly staff. good selection of beers, excellent fries and pork knuckle. pork knuckle may take long (>=40 mins) but worth the wait.

(Translated by Google) The bartenders are good heads, the booze is too good. It just wouldn't exist the next day. (Original) Jó fejek a pultosok, túl jó is a pia. Csak másnap ne létezne.

If you like craft beer and want to try and taste varieties on tap, it is a place to visit. There is always a dozen, or even more taps with all sort of varieties. There is also a chance to taste before choosing what you would want. Cool place, good vibe, cool people, friendly staff and good craft beer.

Wide variety of craft beers. (flying rabbit, white rabbit etc...) Kind bartenders. Really big place. Consider table reservation if you want to go there in the weekend. Minus one star because the bathrooms could be cleaner.

Beers are tasteful, and there is a large portion of choices. The atmosphere is also great. But the toilets are far from neat (yes, because of the guests too), and the food takes pretty long to be prepared (but at least they warn you).

They have a great selection of tap beers and the food was also very good. The state of the bathroom, the fact that you have to order at the bar and the prices are on the negative side. Overall a nice place that I might revisit in the future.

Obviously, Élesztő has a great selection of beers and spirits and a busy, but spacious atmosphere. But don't come here hungry! You're expected to wait 1 HOUR for your order, even if it's just fries. The pulled pork sandwich sounded great on paper, but unfortunately it was underwhelming.

Amazing craft beer! Several flavors like mango, cherry, etc

I really liked the variety of beers available and the fact that I was able to book a table online. The outdoor area is really nice too and the atmosphere very laid-back.

Probably the best in Budapest for craft beer. A delicious selection. Great atmosphere and always busy. All the staff speak perfect English which is great for a Non Hungarian speaker. Good food also . I had the club sandwhich yum yum

The place is very big and has nice beer on the tap selection, although a bit expensive than other bars in Budapest. We ordered the pulled pork burger, was less than average for the heavy price we paid.

A little more on the expensive side, I actually don't love the price/quality ratio here. You can just pick the cheapest beer and have an all right time, but for a night like that, there are better places. This is one of those places where you come to try out special drinks for a bit higher price. And I just think there are better places for that too. Also, the place is very popular now, meaning it's quite crowded. Other than that, all in all, it really is worth checking out. The vibes are good and the bartenders have some really bangin metal playlists! Also, you can order via an app, which can be really convenient.

Perfect place for craft beer and street food at typycal pub enviroment.

Black berry, mango, standard beers.. just lovely. Nice ambiance too.

It’s a really cool place with good vibes. But the online ordering that they advertise at every table doesn’t work. You can order via the app but they actually wanted me to pay again at the counter and I had to queue in the normal queue… DON’T US THE APP

Very spacious, huge selection of Hungarian craft beers. The place itself looks a bit dirty and I’m not sure if it enhances or works against the vibe… I had a vegetarian sandwich which was made of pickled beetroot and cabbage and Camembert cheese, sounded good, tasted funny. The waitress girl was a bit obnoxious. I recommend for big groups.

Been going here with a friend for a long time. Prices are fair, bartenders are cool and friendly. You can smoke and bring dogs too. Super place!

Just good as it looks..really cool place.

Best place in Budapest to try some craft beers. The garden has a great atmosphere for meeting friends and grab a beer and talk about the big questions of life. Also the people working here are really nice and helpful and they understand English ;)

Excellent drinks and foods!

Hands down the best place to visit in Budapest if you want to explore and experience different types of beer 🙌

Great place for chocolate drinks 🥤. You sometimes great free starter drinks and very dynamic environment, energy and fun 🤩. Highly recommended. Location is walking distance from Corvin station and Semmelweis University. Hey if you’re in town for few days try it. Always good to book appointment before going.

I met a friend here for a few weeknight beers. I'm familiar with 'ruin' bars as Birmingham, my native city, has a few too. I was really impressed by the selection of beers (and definitely impressed with the rolling special offers!) and enjoyed the vibrant, creative atmosphere. I wasn't looking to eat but, anyways, there weren't any options for me on the menu. I'm on a plant-based gluten-free diet so I don't expect to have many or even any options. The food did look good though! Overall a good place to have some great beers and to catch up with friends.

Excellent range of beers on tap from different Hungarian breweries. Range of prices and alcohol levels. Food is good - I had the very tasty Hungarian sausage. Interior is a bit too industrial for my tastes. Nice that the pub has a large courtyard area.

Great craft beer bar, nice selection of beers on tap, also some food, friendly stuff, highly recommended, nice music, nice atmosphere

One of my favorite spots in this district. They have great beer and their specialty is the pulled pork sandwich. If you are into pulled pork, this is a must try. The only drawback what is the service at the food section, as they were quite an attentive and rude. However, the food was totally worth it.

Excellent spot that separates the bars to reduce waiting time. The craft beer bar has a varied selection with voodoo being my particular favourite. The spirits bar opposite mixed up a superb G&T. The place was packed with people imbibing and laughing. I like the minimalist style too.

Perfect place. Open courtyard, craft beer and great atmosphere. Loved it :))

I haven't eaten there so can't give a feedback regarding the food. The menu looks good and seen a pulled pork sandwich being eaten by someone and it looked delicious! The beer selection is amazing and they sell awesome sour beer which is my fav! The staff is nice and outside tables are always looked after, ashtrays get emptied and empty glasses blare collected on a regular base. There's a good vibe, definitely worth to visit!

The beer is great, which is the most important thing. :D The food is delicious, though the price is super steep and the portion sizes are inconsistent. The place is usually packed and the acoustic outside are not great, so keeping up a conversation with the people sitting next to you is a struggle. The hard wood chairs are not very comfortable. Staff is overworked, but still helpful. Cash and card payments are both possible.

Cool place to come and drink a beer and grab a bite of fine food. Pulled pork sandwich is fine but some sauce in it would make it better. Domestic fries though were excellent.

Very nice place. Beers are good. Unicum of every type. Pulled pork is a little dry because the meet is smoked, not marinated, but it's good, you have to try it.

One of the best pubs in Budapest. Friendly service, fair prices. They don’t automatically charge you a service fee. You give whatever you want. Nice ambience, better than ruin bars.

The atmosphere was great. You can get in contact with the locals, that's quite nice. Food is ok for a quick snack.

Best food and beer I have had in a long time! Try the mushroom salad! One of the best vegetarian dish I have ever tried! The artisan beers were amazing, greate unique taste! (Some of them can be a bit strong).

Not so much a ruin pub, but an unrenovated pub. Good attempts at decor and rudimentary furnishing to go with it. The beers are good and cover a wide range of styles. Food is good, but on the heavy side. It needs to be ordered at a separate section but is delivered at one's table.

Really cool place. Pretty decent selection of beers. Very cool atmosphere even on a Thursday evening. Didn't get to try the food but it smelt delicious.

Nice place to hang out with friends. Staff is good and friendly, nice beers

Great place, amazing food and various selection of beers on tap. We enjoyed pastrami sandwich and club sandwich, portions were big and the food was tasteful. It becomes a bit crowdy later in the evening so it might be difficult to find a free table without a reservation.

The best hot chocolate ruin cafe in Hungary. The tea offer is also wide and nice. It is filled with plush bear toys and the relics of more peaceful days. Very vintage, antique yet bohemian. The owner is also just the kindest and sweetest guy ever. He will make you any kind of hot chocolate you can think of... there is no menu, but it is not necessary at all.

(Translated by Google) We arrived 20 minutes before Zaras, we wanted to drink a row of glasses. The two young men and the blonde haired lady were sent in peasant style so that we would not see that they were closed ??? !!! If I were to say it normally, we would have understood that it was not! What a good restaurant :) Then we asked if we could go peeing, the answer was that they were already closed😀😀 the day was definitely very stressful for them, that's why they were halfway through at this time :) it's nice to be nice! :) 😘 (Original) Zaras elott 20perccel erkeztunk, szerettunk volna inni egy pohar sort.

Micsoda jo vendeglatosok :) Majd megkerdeztuk, hogy esetleg pisilni elmehetnenk-e, erre az volt a valasz, hogy mar lezartak😀😀 biztos nagyon megterhelo volt nekik a nap, ezert is feleseztek igy zaraskor :) kedvesnek lenni menő! :) 😘

(Translated by Google) Beer specialties, expensive. Good-natured and trained bartenders, under-criticized, unworthy smell of ammonia on toilets.

Jófej és képzett csaposok, kritikán aluli, méltatlan ammóniaszag a WC-ken. Az ülőhelyeken és az asztalokon is volna még mit takarítani.

Good place to drink beer but consider that it can get a little loud if it gets crowded

(Translated by Google) Super producer stuff. The crowd, on the other hand, was a little big. The tables in Arusito should be pulled closer so that you can walk between them normally. (Original) Szuper termelői cuccok. A tömeg viszont kicsit nagy volt. Az arusitoi asztalokat közelebb kellene húzni, hogy normálisan el lehessen járni közöttük.

Best beer in Budapest - we visit Élesztő every time we are here and always love the experience! Craft beers, rock music and the unique atmosphere make it a must-go for us :)

Excellent, friendly and thoughtful staff, great ambience and a nice variety on the menu both drink- and food-wise. Prices are friendly for the area, all right in general. It's worth paying attention to the tipping screen by the paypass reader. Highly recommended.

Low effort design, dirty toilets and expensive food. Also the beer is not that good as I expected from a pub like this. Yeah, it's hand made and not the usual beer you get at the tesco, but still. I always feel like something is off there, might be because the whole place is so dark.

Very good pub with a lot of places outside to sit. Good crafted beer with a reasonable price

Great selection of craft beer situated in an old factory. They’ve recently introduced Butcher’s Kitchen, which serves affordable yet high quality food next to the amazing selection of draft craft beers. Great spot to zone out with a nice beer, service however can be improved as some of the waiters seem slightly careless or arrogant l.

Great find! Been there twice. Great selection of craft beers. A big place, with inside and outside seating. Definitely recommended!

Perfect beer! Perfect food! My good I had an pulled pork sandwich and it was havenly goooood! One of the best pub food place in Budapest! Deffenetly recomand this place!

This place is great. Have this factory decor/vibe that I love it. The variety of beer is wonderful. We had some food and they have for all tastes and very good.

Nice place for go out and drink a good craft beers on tap. Place is very nice.

A nice place to enjoy the local craft beer scene. It's usually crowded, so it can be quite low there.

Delicious food and a wide range of beers and drinks. Great atmosphere, not a lot of tourists. Definitely recommend to reserve a table during the weekends, as it could get very crowded.

(Translated by Google) Cool idea (Original) Coole Idee

(Translated by Google) We tasted lots of draft beer specialties and other premium drinks, each one was very delicious. The drinks are not cheap, but they were all worth the price. I drank Belgian Wheat beer and it didn’t taste like a commercial beer at all, I could barely feel that typical bitter beer, it felt so silky, every sip caressed my throat. I also drank Belgian sour cherries, it wasn't sweet at all (like store sour cherries) but in return it really tasted sour cherry and to not just keep talking about the drink Mónika you know ... and I love the drink, the rustic eggplant cream with fresh hot toast and the vega I tasted a sandwich that was combined with grilled camambertel beets and coleslaw salad. was, everyone smiled, they took the jokes. I'm absolutely satisfied! (Original) Rengeteg féle csapolt sörkülönlegességet, és más prémuim italokat kóstoltunk, nagyon finom volt mindegyik. Az italok nem olcsók, viszont mindegyik megérte az árát. Belga Búzasört ittam, és egyáltalán nem olyan volt az íze mint egy kommersz sörnek, alig volt érezhető az a tipikus keserű söríz, olyan selymes érzés volt, minden korty simogatta a torkomat. Belga meggysört is ittam, egyáltalán nem volt édes ( mint a bolti meggysörök) viszont cserébe tényleg meggyes íze volt és hogy ne csak folyton az italról beszéljek Mónika tudod...pedig szeretem az italt, a rusztikus padlizsán krémet friss forró piritóssal, és a vega szendvicset kóstoltam meg amit grillezett camambertel céklával coleslaw salátával tettek össze valami irdatlan finom volt, a padlizsánkrémből 1kg-t simán meg tudtam volna enni ott helyben, még 3 liter búzasörrel :) a hely hangulata fantasztikus, a társaság abszolút hozza a hely hangulatát, kiszolgálás szuper volt, mindenki mosolygott, vették a poénokat. Teljesen elégedett vagyok!
