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.
