I am here right now with my Hungarian boyfriend and we're taking turns to buy the beer. They are charging him 990 forints for each Borsodi and they are charging me 1090 for the same beer. Why? Because I'm the dumb foreigner who can't speak Hungarian. Why not?! This is unacceptable. Update: I was compensated with a beer, but the staff admitted they have different prices for foreigners. So tourists, beware.

It's good place to hange out and they're working late. buy it's small place and no smoking 🚭 inside.

A great little place to drop by. A/C inside, nice view outside. Lots of drink choices, a few tasty food choices, and the employees are exceptional. It is a good place to meet people to just sit and chat awhile.

If you are looking for to get a drink and watch the view of Budapest listening to good music, that’s the one. This place is one my favourites in Budapest. Roof garden with live music, great atmosphere and an excellent view! You can see the entire Budapest from there. Comfortable sits but don’t get me wrong, you don’t need them cause you’ll stand up to dance. The service was awesome. Very kind and professionals. Loved them.

Excellent service and great cocktails. I would definitely recommend this place without any reservation.

Awesome bar with awesome staff! Great location, food and drinks!

On Why not I love that it's a bar with a garden, open to the street, no cellar in the basement. It's my favorite gay bar in Budapest, I always like to meet friends here. The service is only at the bar, but it's nice, fast and sexy, there's nothing to complain about. In the evening, there is an absolutely magical view of the illuminated Budapest Castle and the Freedom Bridge with the Gellert Hotel. A touching scene.

Lovely place near the river. Great coffee and pancakes to start your day. Kind and polite waiters.

I like this place BUT, I can’t give them a 5 star if they don’t point out that there is a 10 % service charge already on the bill. My fault completely. Tipping is based on service and it is bad service to not advise the customer that there is already 10 % on the bill. Good polite friendly service. I’m Canadian and don’t speak Hungarian. It’s very comforting that they speak English very well. I usually tip 15-20%. Today it was inadvertently 30%. These actions today are completely opposite of Ruszwurm Cukrászda pastry shop. The server they are specifically stopped me and would not accept any extra money. Live and learn. I’ll take the blame for paying too much. Why Not doesn’t earn 5 stars due to lack of customer service in that respect. I’ll be back, and never tip more than the service charge again.

Went during mid-day. Quiet place and good music (dont we all love the 90s?) Fine cocktails and friendly staff. A bit too much black for my taste :)

(Translated by Google) It's a very cultured place (Original) Nagyon kulturalt hely

One of the best and historic gay bars to have drinks at in the city, there's always a crowd during the nights. Its also open during daytime, having a great view and being well located there's always people on the patio. They have weekly events of all sorts. To know whats current, you'll can find out on their facebook page. Occasionally on Thursdays they also have top end dragshows, but they do sell out fast so be sure to book for event tickets and table reservation ahead.

The best gay bar in Budapest. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. It's always a place to visit when I go back to Budapest. When I get hungry after the drinks I can always count on their hot sandwiches and paninis. The prices are very reasonable. You can buy any cocktail or a bottle of wine if you feel so. It gets full pretty early almost everyday, so book a table if you would like to have a secured spot.

The best palce ever. Great karaoke

The security guard is impolite and rude. Be careful.

A must for the LGBTI community in Budapest. On Saturdays they organize a lively karaoke night with songs in English and Hungarian. The staff is very polite, and they speak good English. It is located on the Danube's riverside, so the views are certainly worth it. If you want to have some early drinks, this is a nice option.

Perfect location, friendly staff and amazing food/drinks. Prices are affordable and it is very chill inside with early 2000 hits giving you nostalgia. If you are visiting budapest and looking for a place to drink or eat, definitely choose this place. Why not? 🥂😄

Small but cozy place, friendly staff, good drinks and a nice view to the liberty bridge.

Stopped on the terrace for some drinks. Had a lovely time, beautiful view. Staff are very friendly, they speak English and served us at the table even though it said to order at the bar. We had some beer and lemonades. Nice atmosphere :)

Lovely place with occasional drag queen shows and other events. Very civilized prices and good service when they are good, arrogant service when they are bad 😂 One can definitely not escape before they call it a night.

Good cafe in a chilled area and with amazing views, we had a great time on the terrace. Good quality, quantity and reasonable price along with good views, what else?

Quite and nice place to drink. Thanks

Five stars, like always.

Lovely place, good Music, great vibe, good prices, unbelievable view♥

Nice cafe near bridge. Outdoor sitting

Bartender suggested me to go to another place. I will suggest it to everyone.

Everyone is so lovely and kind. 💟

Nice café and bar close to the Liberty Bridge, coffee is not the best, but not the worst, the servers were very nice, we hope to stop here next time for drink :)

Very nice atmosphere.

Cool place to have drink with a view to the Danube. Priced were reasonable

So friendly, polite staff. Outside area is cute. Prices are over average for Budapest.

Standard service (nothing bad and amazing). A very nice view! If I didn't forget my glasses I would feel there much more comfortable (it was a sunny day). Coffee is tasty, I will come again.

Nice bar, meeting point of LGBTQ community of Budapest. Wide selection of nice drinks, frequent live shows. Beautiful location on Danube river, with view on Gellért hill, the castle and two bridges of the city.

Enjoyed our stay here! Amiable and bubbly staff!

Even though the road nearby can be way too loud, the service, panorama and beer is very good, and karaokeeee!

Visited with my girlfriend in september. Had beers and sandwiches during lunchtime. Beer was good and the sandwiches were excellent - bread of very good quality and the filling - ham, cheese, rockette, vegetables all fresh and we also both noticed a very good butter. They provided also ketchup and mayonnaise with no additional prices, but i even didnt need them, the sandwich was delicious itself. My girlfriend chose to add them to it, still was very good. The place is very much gay friendly, the staff also helped us providing information about boat travel. The locality is very nice, we were sitting on the terrace with Danube view. Very much recommend to everyone, we will for sure revisit on our next trip to Budapest ;)

I like Why Not. It's a nice bar, the service is quite good and the drinks are also good. The ambience is quite good considering the space. The karaoke nights are good because most people can actually sing, they're not pros but it's never awful. This is my go-to bar to go get a drink and enjoy the river or just be "at home". Pros: Good drink Very good service and overall friendly staff Good music (80'/90'/00'/10'/20') Good location Friendly and open vibe Open all day and until 3/4 am Family friendly vibe Huge screen to see the music videos Full of locals and foreigners alike Cons: A bit small (book your table) The service is very good but I've perceived a bit of a diva attitude (did i do something to bug you?) The bathroom could be a little cleaner I've been there a bunch of times and will continue to go. I haven't been here for long but it already kind of feels like home. Well done guys and thanks for being cool!

Place with wonderful view, perfect for a quick snack and drink to chill and enjoy the surroundings. Prices are fair and adequate. Service was really polite, thank you a lot:)

Nice cafe, very good coffee and very nice panorama.

Beautiful bar and decoration, amazing ambience and very very welcoming. The staff is so polite and nice as well! I recommend. ❤️

A friendly little gay bar with decent drinks, a nice selection of people and camp tacky elements - like photos of Michael Jackson (?) and a never ending stream of bad MTV Videos - which we love of course. They also sell nachos with little pots of plasticky cheese sauce. On Wednesday it was bingo and all the tables were pre-reserved, but the rest of the week is fine.

Nice place to go for a beer, and the Retro Hotdog is simple but cheap and delicious. They have very exciting karaoke nights, one gotta keep an eye on their agenda for the week. Love it!

Fun gay bar with a great atmosphere. Their cocktails are a bit shonky to be honest - but then I am a bit of a cocktail snob. We went there twice and the quality of the cocktails depend on which bar staff are working.

Seems like a space disco or party. Maybe in summer when u can sit outside and drink your coffee. Be careful, cause you have to order at the bar. Its without serving. Prefer to come back in summer, not autumn

One of my favorite place. You will have a great experience once you visit this establishment. Every day, there are special offers for those who like special drinks. You can consume some snacks, salads or other food as well. The service is very polite and good. If you visit the internet site of this cafe and bar, you will be informed about the organized events as well. Visit & enjoy it.

Friendly service all the time, majestic view, reasonable prices. They have fun programmes over the week almost every night. Sometimes drag show.

Nice and cosy place right by the river with nice view. LGBT friendliness confirem by RuPaul's poster hanging on the wall :-)

It’s a really lovely place to have, for example a breakfast or a coffee. I loved the view!

Very inclusive and welcoming place- even as a straight man I felt very comfortable. Staff were tipped handsomely

Great atmosphere but quite small. Brilliant cabaret show. Would be awesome in a bigger venue.

Very nice bar with a great atmosphere! Friendly staff. Count your exchange when buying drinks, they tried to fool me with the change - not cool.

The place is small and with a nice atmosphere along the Danube. The view is beautiful especially at night. Make sure to reserve a table though

Is a good bar to spent some time with friends or for a date. During the summer is really nice to be outside to see the sun goes down. And during some days of the week has bingo and Karaoke. The staffs is so friendly and the price is attractive. I really recommend this place for someone that is looking for a coffee and pub with gay friendly vibe.

There is no way for me to explain why I enjoy visiting Why Not so much. I guess it's just the overall vibes. I enjoy the events and appreciate them putting up with my drunken acts at karaoke nights. You gotta love this place ❤.

(Translated by Google) Only for natives. Music in Hungarian, bingo in Hungarian. And all the clients are natives, if you are not accompanied with friends it becomes very boring. Not recommended for someone traveling alone (Original) Solo para nativos. La musica en Húngaro, el bingo en húngaro.

Beside good cocktails, and kind waiters, why not has a strategic location to attend sunset on Elisabeth Bridge. But you have to book in advance.
