The 5 most authentic ruin bars in Budapest

1) Szimpla

When the word ‘ruin bar’ was thought up back in 2002, it was to describe this bar, housed in a temporarily unused, neglected building. It was launched by business students who didn’t have money to invest – hence the flea market and discarded furniture. Today it is still flourishing and it has even become a kind of shrine: the first of its kind, and a prelude of what was to come.
