Rip-Off Budapest Nightclub to have Operating License Suspended
Our sister site caboodle.hu revealed yesterday that some more tourists were ripped off at the Éden Night Club, one of the more infamous nighttime establishments in the city, as the reader comments over at sexiside.hu make abundantly clear. In fact, we'd go so far as to suggest that most strip clubs in Budapest aren't exactly on the up and up, and signs should be posted at the airport to let tourists know to avoid them. It would seem that the District VI authorities, known more for making legitimate businesses close their doors early, may finally be doing something in the case of the Éden Night Club, which has been on practically every blacklist ever written about local nightlife.
As index.hu reports, District VI notary Csilla Sajtos - who has a lot more authority than a notary in the US - told the portal that she received a complaint from the police about a similar incident a month before, but that "we did not manage to get the letter to the club's manager notifying him that his operating license was being suspended via the mail, since they refused to accept it."
This is, mind you, the same Csilla Sajtos who according to a different story at index.hu, went around the evening of September 1 with a police escort, and forced legitimate businesses who dared to stay open in defiance of the unpopular curfew to close their doors. Sajtos insisted to index.hu that this time she would make sure that the Éden Night Club would receive the letter suspending its operating license.
Local authorities have taken a harder stance against rip-off joints recently, but as this incident reveals, they still have a long way to go if they can be stopped by someone refusing to sign for a letter.

COMMENT!All nogoodnik Westerners and other freeloading external pariahs presently residing in Budapest should be forced to frequent Éden Night Club at least two times every single week. That'll teach them how to behave, like nothing else will.
@david, the old reliable garden gnome: It looks like you and your illegitimate cousin with the weird random name generator had joined the lobotomized Western pariah walking death brigade polluting Budapest's already fouled-up air.
At this speed, you and your laughable possee of riff-raff exiles and other undesirables kicked out from the West won't last until this Christmas.
Not that I am complaining about that prospect, mind you.
