The Ruin Pubs of Budapest

IMG_0436

Budapest has an interesting series of pubs that have sprang up inside of old derelict buildings.  Many of them were neglected for decades and have fallen into ruins.  Thus the concept of the ruin pub was born.  Kristen found several good ruin pubs for us to go check out.

There is usually a mix of eclectic art and ruined masonry in the ruin pubs.

Free wifi is available at most ruin pubs.  They seem like a nice place to do some mid-day work.

  1. Lips. Rocky Horror hits Budapest. Love the old ruins concept and amazing how so many companies strive to make places look like that when they could utilize existing buildings already in that condition. How very awesome.

    1. The ruin pubs in Budapest have been ranked as some of the best bars in the world the last few years. They really are fun. I don’t know though how much fun that they would be in the winter.
