    The Casanova House stands next to the Batthyány Square market hall. The history of the Rococo-style building dates back to the 18th century. can be traced back to the beginning of the century. In 1767, it already operated as a White Cross inn and probably a couple's house, and since the post coaches left for Vienna from the neighboring street, many people came to stay here, including such famous people as II. Emperor Joseph, Maria Theresa, or the legendary figure of the time, Giacomo Casanova. In other words, the building has more than 250 years of catering history! But what is the past if it is not present? In 1967, a few steps below the level of the square, the modern history of the place began, as a cult revelry of socialism, as well as the Casanova bar, where Jimmy Zámbó performed several times as a bar musician at the end of the 80s, at the beginning of his career. In 1987, it was the nightclub of the year. Along with the regime change, it went bankrupt in 1990. They tried to revive it in 2000, but it closed after just 4 years. A Subway operated here for a few years. It acquired its current form in 2018, and they tried to transfer as much as possible from the legend to the patinated walls in the current renovated version, so there are still musical evenings under the heavy arches: concerts, karaoke parties, DJs. As a visitor to the living room, you can easily get lost in the already too spacious and zigzag space, separate yourself, watch a game or, based on the floor pattern, even checkmate in a live-action chess party, so that in the end you can say who is the king? The selection on the beer front is otherwise great. Dreher Gold, Dreher IPA, ANTL, Pilsner Urquell, Calsberg and Kronenburg 1664 are on tap, but sadly average in terms of wines and spirits, but above average in price. If you want to eat, there is a pie available, if you are only interested in the exact time, look behind the face of Casanova above the counter laden with disco lights, believe me, he will suddenly appear. It's good that we noticed what's existence is not obvious. It would have been a shame to miss it, because this is also a sophisticated pub in Buda, and it would be good to go to its announced events! //.. the "Show me a pub!" quoting myself from a facebook group...//

    I love this place! Simple and good Hungarian beer! Clean toilet and good service in comparison what you get from other Hungarians. Cheers!

    It was alright. Nothing special. It’s small and the ambience isn’t that great either.

    They have cheap beers and great service! Came here on a weekday afternoon and it was very chill. In the evening it gets to be a nice mix of locals and tourists. Love being able to spend some time at one of Buda’s most historic bars, dating back to the 18th century. 10/10 recommend and I will definitely be back the next time I visit Budapest 👍

    Overall a good restaurant. Unfortunately, the acoustics there are so bad that the laughter from the next table interrupted every conversation we had.

    Close to the place we stayed so that was a plus for us. The drinks are good, but we could have done without the karaoke. The people singing really couldnt sing but i think they rented the space so they kept going 🙈. Inside the temperature is quite warm but you can step outisde for some cold air, if you dont mind the smoke from the people smoking. Not a bad experience but i would not perse recommend of go back unless you stay arround the corner
