SZIMPLA KERT
The very first ruin pub of Budapest is Szimpla Kert. It actually hooked the trend of using the free, old, unused places for clubbing and partying in 2004. It is in the Jewish Quarter, some may call it the 7th district. Pizza of the bar is very famous for its taste. There are several rooms with various outlook and differing furniture.

Moreover, you can get a decent drink for 2.5€ which is very reasonable, indeed.
ANKER’T
The Budapest Bars are based on a 2-centuries old building, built back in 1833. You can imagine the outlook of the building. Right? But yes, it is maintained and properly arranged one.

INSTANT AND FOGAS HAZ
You may not get that feeling of a ruin bar in these Budapest Bars. But let me tell you what, the place is very spacious. These bars offer you 18 bar counters and good seven floors to dance. In comparison with others, space there might not allow you to move your body freely in sync with the music. Here, at Instant and Fogas Haz, you can dance freely without caring about others.

This bar is located in a crumbling façade building which was constructed two hundred years ago.
KISÜZEM
Kisüzem is another attractive spot for parties at night. The rotating set of contemporary art hides the outdated look of the walls and looks good on the eyeballs as the bar lights reflect on it.

DOBOZ
You may not call it a ruin bar considering the interior and the environment inside. Located in the lively and colorful streets of district VII nearer to other Budapest Bars, it does justice to the areas’ beauty and decoration. As you step in, a transformer greets and begins the start of your great nightlife ahead. It is not actually a transformer. Instead, it is a big tree with red robotic eye light attached.

Many different types of songs are played in the background but all of them ignite the joy of dancing.

Similarly to other Budapest bars, it also resides in a U-shaped brick sort of area in District VII of Jewish Quarter. On weekdays, locals are dominant in dancing and drinking, but as it turns out to be a weekend, flocks of foreigners come around. At times, groups of bachelor parties are held here.
