Salsa nights are a great way to hear some live music, have a drink and practice your salsa dancing. Also a great way to meet people.

With 26 rooms, 7 bars, 4 dedicated dance floors, 7 stages, 2 outdoor gardens, and no cover charge (ever), Instant is Budapest’s largest Ruin Pub and the place to go any night of the week for live music. Dance underneath statues of rabbits and ghoulish animals hanging from the ceiling or sit at a table and chat with the locals and tourists in one of the gardens. The drinks are slightly more expensive than Szimpla but they make up for it by having live hip-hop, American rock, Hungarian DJs, and more in a single night. Only a few blocks from Szimpla, you can easily go to both in one night.

Hip, calm cafe and movie theater that turns into a great dance club at night ($4 for movies, $1-3 cover for large parties). Not the friendliest staff but they do all speak English. Pretty quick turnover with tables and absolutely queer friendly. They hosted the most diverse ‘lesbian party’ I have ever been to and have something going on almost every night from concerts to live DJs.

With over 13 rooms, live music every night, movie showings, delicious food, hookah, cheap drinks, and never a cover, the first ruin pub (a bar/pub/club in a formerly abandoned building) is not a place to miss. You will find both tourists and locals every night of the week and the place is packed on weekends. Get lost in the building or grab a map (yes, a map) of the building as you come in the front door. Of the three we suggest, this is the most low key. For more of a club scene head to Fogashàz. If you’re looking for great live music of all sorts head to Instant. These are all located in the Jewish District and easily walkable. When you’re done for the night, take the 4-6 Tram that runs all night, back home.
