Budapest's Best Bars and Nightclubs

Welcome to Pestiside's guide to the best bars and clubs in Budapest, a selected assortment of quality drinking and partying places drawn from our sister site Caboodle.hu's monster list of more than 300 hotspots and watering holes, and broken down into seven easy-to-use categories. Note that, as with our sister site Chew.hu's list of "Top 33" restaurants, these are only our personal faves, and that they can and will change according to whim. But we urge you to make your opinion known on these and other bars and clubs by rating and commenting on individual establishments in Caboodle's database, or in the Budapest nightlife scene area of the Caboodle reader forum. Finally, note that the "*" denotes places where dancing is either encouraged or not likely to get you beaten up, at least not too badly.
