    One of the best ruin bars i have been in Budapest! The atmosphere is amazing and kind of spooky. It is located not far from the city center in a walkable distance. It is cheap, it has nice drinks and the personnel is polite. I definitely recommend this bar!

    Really lovely spot. I visited Budapest and used this to remote work. The food is delicious, recommend the Cubano sandwich! The ice teas are the most flavourful teas I’ve ever had. Service is super friendly too, definitely stop by here !

    We spend here drinking cocktails (which i forgot to take a photo of) The place is stunning 🤩 and these little notes around will chill out your day. When we arrive was not a place free,but the friendly staff managed to welcome us too. The prices were really amazing too!! 💯Recommend!

    Worst Mohito I ever had. Taste like sink water with ice...and also smells the same. No rum, nothing, just no. You can't hear any music in this bar, only the sound of the crowd, because everyone is shouting. The smell in the bar is bad, and the total atmosphere suggest poor hygiene. Best thing in this bar was the salted peanuts (just opened from a bag) and the way out. Didn't catch also the vibe with the broken chairs?! I almost fell down from two of them ...

    Something different! A place that has a "soul". The artworks on the walls are unique and you can spend hours and hours analyzing them. And finally, very friendly staff as well as the ladies who sell their items in the cafe. For every recommendation regardless of age!

    The atmosphere is great. I had a good draft beer, but unfortunately there weren't any food options besides nachos with a dip. I had to have dinner somewhere else. Prices were a bit high. I also didn't like the fact that the waiters were constantly coming at our table to take new orders or to bring the bill; I felt rushed.

    Ruin bar with good and cozy vibes. High ceiling. Limited beer selection. Very international crowd.

    From their menu: In 2008, Csendes "re-opened" its gates since in its older days, it was a Transylvanian restaurant. The new interior, the constantly changing music and programs, the huge selection of beverages and flush of youth gives the place its spirit. Only one block away from Astoria and Kalvin square, it operates as a cafe during the day and at night it turns into a teeming bar for all ages and styles where even regulars find something new they haven't noticed yet. The intense and colorful interior, the finely mixed cold and warm premium drinks, the various programs ideal for young and old, for those who want to meet new people, alone, all together, for gatherings with dad/mom, boss, colleagues, wife or husband, this place is pretty much for everyone!

    We found this quirky Café/Bar by accident on our walking tour through Budapest. Funny interior, good music and very mixed guests made the stay worth while. A lot to look at and watch! As we only had drinks I can't say anything about the food.

  • 5/5 Charles K. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely ruin bar! (Dive bar) The haphazard semi artistic half tagged/vandalized interior imparts a quaint charm upon the large walled, older architecture aesthetic. Our server was delightful and helpful, price points in a good range, and fellow customers genial enough. We were happily tipsy after spending a few hours here. I'd definitely go back!

    My first visit was 4 years ago and everything was ok. I came back in December and i was really disappointed. The cocktails were super bad. One tasted like water with orange, and the Hugo barely had some alcohol in it. If you really like to drink cocktails, don't go there.

  • 1/5 Martin V. 2 years ago on Google
    Overpriced and very poor cocktails. Both taste and appeal wise. Service on the edge of rude. The cocktails were extremely sweet so we asked to make new ones and all we got is that they filled the existing cocktails with more water all the way to the edge of the glass. The bohemian look of this place is nice but if you're looking for drinks I wouldn't recommend this place.

    Super cool cafe & restaurant. Love it! Perfect if you like hipster and ruined style of place where you can hang out and be chilled with a few friends. Will definitely want to go back if I visit Budapest again!

    Well crafted cocktails and a nice atmosphere to leave your mark in Budapest. There is a lot of uniqueness and creativity in this cafe around the walls. Lots of seating options are available. I would stop by again for a quick drink or coffee if I am in the area, but I wouldn't go to seek this place out.

    (Translated by Google) Super place, I love the atmosphere of the place and the bizarre ruin pub design with retro tablecloths. The food is delicious and boring and the selection of drinks is fair. Worth to try. (Original) Szuper hely, imádom a hely hangulatát és a bizarr romkocsma dizájnt a retró asztalterítőkkel. Az ételek is finomak, meg unalmasak és az italválaszték is korrekt. Érdemes kipróbálni.

    (Translated by Google) It is worth visiting once only for the sake of the interesting decoration. There was no problem with service, and the prices are average bar is not a hidden ruin pub standard. (Original) Erdemes egyszer ellatogatni mar csak az erdekes dekoracioban valo gyonyorkodes miatt is. Kiszolgalassal nem volt baj, es az arak atlagosak bar nem egy eldugott romkocsma szinvonalu.

    Nice hipster-like ruin bar without loud music. Interior is awesome, they also have outside seating. Good selection of drinks, and if you fancy real whipped cream try one of the hot chocolates or ice coffees. Friendly staff, their food is average.

  • 1/5 Bálint S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is not possible to pay by card, which is, say, a suspicious place. We asked if there was a kitchen, the answer was yes, so we ordered both drinks and food, when we drank it halfway, it turned out that there was no kitchen anymore. (Original) Nem lehet kártyával fizetni, ami miatt mondjuk eleve gyanús hely. Megkérdeztük, hogy van-e konyha, az volt a válasz, hogy igen, ezért rendeltünk italt is, ételt is, mikor félig megittuk, akkor derült ki, hogy konyha már még sincs.

  • 4/5 Kateřina P. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a gorgeous-looking bar with lots of art on the walls and quirky decorations. Visited on a Saturday night and had a problem finding a spot to sit for two people, the place was packed. The atmosphere was amazing and the drinks were good (and for quite a good price). They accept credit cards, which is great. The service was very slow, though, because there were only two waiters for the whole pub. Other than that, it was a very nice experience having a drink there.

  • 3/5 Lili S. 2 months ago on Google New
    The cocktails were great and there is a wide variety of them. We felt like the place was understaffed and the staff couldn't keep up with the seating capacity of the bar, they were under a lot of pressure :c

  • 3/5 Gen E. 2 years ago on Google
    Whoever designed this place said to himself “i want a place where non of the chairs is the same” The place is unique. Really is. But it must have had some changes, not in a good way. Before going we looked at the food menu on the pics of peoples reviews but the manu was changed and the choise is really poor. We couldnt pick a food so we went elsewhere. Meanwhile we ordered drinks and the tea served was really wierd and tasteless. The service had a harsh time declining our complaint about the tea but eventially they agreed to refund. One has the feeling that some bars in BDP will do things their own way, saying themselvs “screw the customer, he isnt allways right”. Time will show.

    I visited this place just because my boyfriend found it, and i could not be more surprised! The place is so cool and chill, perfect just to vibe a talk with your friends. I absolutely loved their mugs, haha, so cute! And also the interior made me speachless. 100 procent recommend!

    Good bar, very busy on Thursday evening, would recommend booking if possible, ruin bar mixed with different variation of chairs and tables. Small toilets. Good service and nice selection of drinks

  • 3/5 Adventure C. 11 months ago on Google
    Listed as a dive bar on Facebook and a ruin bar by some guide books and a place for hipsters in others, this place is none of those. It is a cafe with a long list of drinks including wines, beers and cocktails but very little in the form of food. Attached is a photo of the most substantial “meal” on offer, a handful of nachos with supermarket bought dip. Servings of wine are 100 ml but prices reasonable (EUR3.50 per glass) I was here midweek and found only couples and small groups of friends, all seated at tables so there was no mingling and certainly no meeting new people. Half the guests were travellers presumably lured in by guidebooks. If you are looking for a glass of wine and a chat this place is for you.

  • 5/5 Todor T. 10 months ago on Google
    Very interesting interior, full of history - the walls are full of memories left by previous visitors. We sat in what used to be a bathtub, repurposed into chairs. How cool is that!

  • 3/5 Daniel Sági K. 3 years ago on Google
    Widely varied performance. The place itself has an authentic, honest ruin bar look, albeit it can induce some nightmares with oh so many colours, shapes, materials, and textures. It is rarely silent (Csendes means "silent"), and often overcrowded, but on the other hand, the patrons are mostly current and former students of the very nearby university of academic studies. The bartending and serving staff are a coin flip, they can be cute and professional, or rude and negligent. Drinks are well made, food is carefully prepared.

  • 3/5 Sig B. 4 years ago on Google
    Alright place to have a drink. Good selection and properly assembled. English speaking staff. But stay off the food and the toilets. Premade store bought stuff assembled on a plate isn't cafe quality. The chairs are rather uncomfortable. Funny decor.

  • 5/5 Rade M. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool quirky and hipstery place. Reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere and cool choice of music. On Sunday evening not too crowded. Not too far off the beaten path. Definitely worth a visit for checking on all unique wall and ceiling decorations.

  • 4/5 Zoltán K. 3 years ago on Google
    Very uniqe place in the middle of Pest. The interior is stunning, there's always something new you can find on the walls. Prices are reasonable, the service is kind and quick. It's good to arrive early or book a table as the place is mostly full.

  • 5/5 Naomi W. 4 years ago on Google
    I love love love this bar! It's a great place for a quiet drink and catching up with friends. It's a ruin bar that's not a night club and the music is not loud. They serve tea & coffee until 10pm if you're not a drinker, or just fancy a late night cuppa.
