Szimpla Kert

It is the quintessential "ruin pub" experience. It is not a single establishment but rather a collection of businesses from hookah bars, pubs, and wine bars. Music, rickety stairs, low lights, high-energy, fun atmosphere. Expect a line and a pat down (for guys)/purse search (for all) to get in. Most businesses inside prefer cash. There is a great food truck park right next door for your midnight snack.

Even tho it is most popular ruin bar in Budapest, is still worth to go because of always the new crowd there of people. Now during covid not so much but before it always have full table every night with Hungarian and foreign people who want to come and see it. Some of my friends prefer other places but I still like to go 1-2 time every month.

If you ever come to Budapest you should definitely visit ruin bars. And what's better than one of the best ruin bars in town. Me and my friend visited it on Saturday and when we arrived we saw a huge line and we thought that we will never get in. But as it turned out, the staff did ID check, which we thought was good. The place had very unusual architecture and we felt like we were at a big open party because it felt like everyone knew each other. It has small open rooms with different styles. For example some of them were more quiet, some others were wine bars and some others had loud music. Definitely would recommend it.

The Farmers Market in Szimpla Kert is a wonderful place to buy good products directly from the manufacturer. Every seller at the market is a real first producer, who brought what they grew and made by their own hands week by week. Here it is possible to buy many types of cheese, honey, jam, syrup, vegetables and fruit, and fresh meat and meat, freshly picked and dried mushrooms, truffle specialties, spices, sandwich spreads. Great choice of homemade sausage. What is common in them is that they are all chemical free and came from the nearby area from the manufacturer. The atmosphere is wonderful, and we can enjoy shopping. Definitely worth a visit.

The ruins have a special style, each with different themed compartments. The most interesting thing is that there is a bathtub seat where people will lie in and drink. The quality of the drinks and the service attitude are very ordinary, no special features, but the prices are very cheap.
