    Disastrous service at the event. Reckless security, horrible beverage service. Endless lines for beer, lack of organization and unprofessional bartenders.

    (Translated by Google) I've had my favorite concert venue so far! The sound is always perfect, so it's a favorite! However, I think at 10,000 forints, it's very bad to be thrown like a cat fuck 15 minutes after the end of the concert! Before there was a rock disco, people could talk and dance. Now even the shirts of my favorite bands, I could not see because they were driven out by the guards mindnekit vulgar style! Like an animal herd about ... So I was disappointed! (Original) Kedvenc koncert helyszínem volt, mostanáig! Mindig tökéletes a hangosítás, ezért kedvenc! Viszont, én azt gondolom hogy 10.000 forintos jegyárak mellett, nagyon rosszul veszi ki magát, hogy koncert vége után 15-perccel, úgy dobnak ki, mint macskát szarni! Azelőtt volt rock diszkó, az emberek tudtak beszélgetni, táncolni. Most még a kedvenc zenekarom polóit, sem tudtam megnézni, mert alpári stílusban tereltek ki az őrök mindnekit! Mint egy állat csordát kb... Szóval csalódtam!

    I have only been to the previous location and I have been shocked how extremely badly this new one is organized. The amount of people they let in requires the people to form two corridors around the mixing-tower. All of these try to squeeze through to reach the front which triggered some fights and the tension was ridiculous. Unfortunately, security was nowhere to be found. After the concert was over, we waited 40 minutes to get out coats because the area to retrieve them was both way too small and understaffed. After the concert you realise, if you didn't arrive by car, your options are overpriced taxis or praying to get space on the nightbus which leaves every 30 minutes. Really bad location. Avoid if you can.

    Bad organization. Not enough toilets and bars. Huge queues everywhere. With sold out it is impossible to move inside. If you are not sitting in the front lines, you won't see anything from the performance. No screens are displaying the action from the stage. But if you are in one of the front rows, the sound is so bad, you won't really hear the music and the elements of it, just a loud mess. There's no air inside. Hot and humid and smelly.

    One of my favourite concert venues. Security is firm but polite, prices are fair, clean and fresh air through the whole night show, good sound. Open air in the summer, comfy tent in winter. I can only recommend it. :)

    We visited Barba Negra Red Stage first time in autumn 2022 (and few times earlier in older locations). Reviews were mixed as venue didn't look fully in function an completed but it was really ok even back then. Now in spring 2023 it's even better so I will update my review! First of all, place is big and impressive. Sound was good and clean even if you stand all the way to the side or back. There is a wardrobe at the entrance, next to the merchandise stand (wardrobe is cash only, I think). There are several different bars / drink stations with snacks also and we were not waiting more than few minutes every time (staff was diligent and hardworking) and you can pay with a card. Also, there were food carts outside in the yard (I am not sure about payment option outside). Toilets were just outside in another tent, decently clean and good enough. Location is a bit far from more downtown Budapest but there is a public transport nearby (10 minutes ride to Boraros ter) and you have a night bus every 30 minutes if you need it. Of course, taxi is always an option. There is also a parking field outside with security staff redirecting cars. Now there are few places to sit inside the hall. We traveled 300km from another country several times and it was amazing experience for every show so we will gladly visit again. :)

    Toilets are not enough and are barely usable. Zero crowd control and questionable safety, no escape routes besides the back it the tent. Security really low. The "vip" is just a 15 cm raised platform to the side with bad views and sound. You have to wait 15-20 minutes for an extremely overpriced low quality beer(3x the normal prices). Go to Vienna if you want have a quality experience.

    An excellent outdoors concert venue for most summer band events. Beer is a bit more expensive than in bars, but not by a much. There's plenty of nice parks around for pre-gaming, and some really nice bars by the river. Depending on the show, you might be able to see it from a nearby bridge without entrance fee, though I hear the view is sometimes blocked.

    Travelled from Ireland to see Pantera in Barba Negra Red Stage. There was plenty of amenities such as bars, toilets... Inside the venue. There was no barriers which meant you can get as close to the front as you want so you don't have to que for hours outside. There is a train line a short distance outside the arena which most people used when the concert was over, I walked for about 15 minutes until I got to a bus station where I booked a taxi back into the city, very easy. The venue holds roughly 13,000 people so it's quite nice to see bands there.

  • 2/5 Katalin P. 9 months ago on Google
    It isn’t really like the old times :( doesn’t feel like they would try to keep people there, after the concert the music is quiet, the DJ is bad, the toilets are in poor condition, there is not even a mirror in there. Feels so strange after so many great years elsewhere. The location is too much out of the city :(

  • 2/5 Gergely �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Even after so many years, the sound system is still critically acclaimed, and the security guards are still moribund. Too bad there is no competition for size in the city. (Original) A hangosítás még ennyi év után is kritikán aluli, a biztonságiak pedig még mindig modortalan surmók. Kár, hogy méretben nincs konkurenciája a városban.

    Excellent alternative bands playing there, all year long. It's open air, so mind your clothing. It's like a big stage from a festival would be all year long with superb music to visit.

  • 1/5 Orsi P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After the concert, we talked quietly so far, now it was impossible to go to the restroom, everyone was exposed by the not very nice security guards. If possible, do not put the jacket next to your wardrobe, and get rid of it as quickly as possible. Not a good direction. (Original) A koncert után eddig nyugodtan elbeszélgettünk, most mosdóba sem lehetett elnenni, mindenkit kitessékeltek a nem túl kedves biztonsági őrök. Lehetőség szerint a kabátot se a ruhatár mellett vegyük fel, minél gyorsabban takarodjunk. Nem jó irány.

    (Translated by Google) We attended a very super concert. There was no crowd, so there was enough air. The sound was also good and the place was easily accessible by BKV. (Original) Nagyon szuper koncerten vettünk részt. Nem volt tömeg, ezért volt elég levegő is. A hangosítás is jó volt, a hely könnyen megközelíthető BKV-val is.

    Its a Metal place very good to reach. Its an for most.in the summer an open air place. Lots of metal bands played here big and small names. It a.place you must go when your in the metal just check when your in boedapest. Mebe there is a band playing you never know.

    Bar service is below any criticism. If you have few thousand visitors you should have enough staff and pipes. I waited 45 minutes in line for a beer. The waitress was in a "you can't pay me so bad as I can work slow" mode. The other thing is the floor; half of venue is covered with wood that is sticking out at some places, not to mention screws. And one really weird thing: the floor is descending from stage towards the public, which is totally unusual. The concert was great, but there's a lot of space for improvement on venue itself. Best of luck there.

    We went to see Pantera at Barba Negra Red Stage. Good venue (loved the old one!), with parking nearby. We used Bolt to get back to the city.

    Good venue, easy to get to from central Budapest, acoustics are decent. Only minor criticism is the length of queues for beverages but that’s the same everywhere.

  • 2/5 Fülöp M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Even when the event was not full, it was a misery. Sometimes the toilet line can be half an hour. The staff could not be bunker, and after a concert you would stay in vain for a beer before the wardrobe goes down, they are practically thrown out. I think it's a very bad direction for all that money. (Original) Még akkor is nyomor volt amikor nem teltházas a rendezvény. A WC sor néha fél órás is lehet. A személyzet bunkobb nem is nagyon lehetne, koncert után hiába maradnál egy sörre amíg a ruhatár előtt lemegy a sor, gyakorlatilag kidobnak. Szerintem nagyon rossz irány ennyi pénzért.

  • 2/5 Balázs K. 4 months ago on Google
    The place always has interesting concerts, especially rock and metal, and I appreciate that. But it doesn't have very good atmosphere, it's basically a huge tent in the middle of nowhere. Also, it has one small checkroom for 4000 people, which is a joke!!! I had to stand there for an hour after the concert has ended just to get my coat, which was terrible!

    The place to see the biggest metal acts in Hungary. I liked the previous location better, this one has some catching up -- it's a bit plain looking, and the queue at the bar is long. Parking is difficult, I recommend public transport.

  • 4/5 Mate T. 7 years ago on Google
    A rock/metal music club with big names coming here. Good place, but the sound of the concerts are not always the best, I think it's because the shape of the location. The band is generally on the very left, while there is more space on the right. The public transportation is close which is a plus

  • 5/5 Alec H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue, a bit south of the city but easy enough to take public transit there. Drinks aren't too overpriced and the set up is covered from the elements and intimate. Would definitely come again for another show!

  • 4/5 Anna S. 2 months ago on Google New
    Ideal place for concerts and other cultural events. The only negative side is that it is almost not in Budapest and is hard to acces it with public transportation, espacially in later hours.

  • 5/5 Juraj P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Epic place for concerts. The hall is a massive tent, which is kind of cool. The big stage fits inside. The lightning effects are nice because they bounce of the tent walls It has an outside area for chilling between shows, shops to eat & drink

  • 3/5 Zsombor B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lines to the bar are super long, kinda pricey, the cup revolution thing is not great, sound on for live shows is hit or miss. On the other hand it's in a great location and the open setting is nice

  • 1/5 Guillaume F. 1 year ago on Google
    the bands were nice. However : it is by far the worst venue I've been to. Sound quality was not consistent throughout the concerts; public is segregated in 2 parts, with very poor visibility in the back for 75% of the people; poor delimitation and passage between the back and front parts; and can't give plastic cups back for money. Eventually, public transports are not far and there is a good servitude.

  • 5/5 Gyula S. 5 years ago on Google
    It's a great place. Concerts sound great, and you can get close to the stage! You'll never be able to see your favourite bands as close as this when you're in a big sports hall! The staff is polite and really nice. I also liked the food and drinks 😊 I had a really great time 😊

  • 3/5 M-P B. 8 months ago on Google
    Been there for Ignite, I liked the location, get in was fast, didn't have to wait at the bar, got there and back to the city with the H7-Bus. The only thing that might need improvement is the mixing, drums were too loud and vocals too quiet.

    (Translated by Google) At first the praise was good for the concert sound, the security people were absolutely good heads and the desk staff were nice. However, the queue at the toilet was very long, at the desk it was not possible to pay with a credit card at one place - it did not accept every card eg prepaid card - r - and a shared terminal was used - the 200 Ft plastic jug I had to hold on to it, it was quite annoying during a normal concert. (Original) Előbb a dicséret a koncert-hangosítás jó volt, a biztonsági emberek is teljesen jó fejek, a pultnál a kiszolgálók kedvesek. Viszont, a wc-nél nagyon hosszú volt a sor, a pultnál nem lehetett csak egy helyen bankkártyával fizetni -ott se fogadott el minden kártyát pl prepaid kártyát -r- és egy megosztott terminált használtak- a 200 Ft műanyag korsó is felesleges, végig azt kellett szorongatnom, rendes koncert közben elég idegesítő.
