We have reviewed a wide cross section of top night spots in Budapest, for all types of short break party animals to enjoy in Hungary.

One of the coolest clubbing experiences to be had is partying on a moving boat. A38 cruises down the Danube River, whilst throwing some of the coolest dance parties in the city. On board the ship, you’ll find a dance terrace, restaurant, lounge bar and disco, where they book some of the trendiest DJs from around the globe. Most notably, they had the likes of Japanese superstar ‘DJ Krush’ spinning the decks whilst on his world tour. For holiday makers that are into dancing and non-commercial music, then this groove boat, will not disappoint. All types of music are represented throughout the week from, reggae & broken beat to house and hiphop. It’s definitely a great place to dance and meet some of the friendly locals. We highly recommend it to our Hungary short breaks clients, small Budapest stag party’s and anybody who enjoys good soulful music.

Stag do's in Budapest are popular. A hot spot to try out on your Budapest holiday is Café Mediterranean, with its chilled out Spanish décor. The cocktails are nice, the drink prices are reasonable and on Fridays they play some excellent rnb music. It’s not the biggest of places, so all lads dos do attract attention but the atmosphere is vibrant and is certainly worth trying out. Club Seven attracts a mix crowd of friendly locals, expats, men on sports tours and wandering tourists. The décor inside is impressive and reflects the expensive drinks prices. It’s a popular choice and always seems to be busy, whether standing at the bar or dancing to the pop sounds, Club seven offers good all round entertainment.


Stag parties in Budapest will enjoy the popular music-bar is Darshan Udvar, with its large wooden tables and court yard space. This a good bar for large groups on stag weekends in Budapest. It’s a loud & fun place, always busy with those party mad Hungarians. Located in a new shopping centre is Kameleon and has caused a good stir within the bar scene here. The décor is plush, the cocktails are strong and the go go dancers on the catwalk always cause a bit of a stir with stags. The music is a mixture of chart hits and house, good for a knees up and having unpretentious fun. Stags are welcome here and the people very friendly. Oscar café runs with a cinematic theme and offers a great pre-club atmosphere. The drinks are well prepared, the staff are friendly and the clientele is a mix of cool Hungarian socialites and trendy tourists. As American styled bars go, this is real winner and has been recommended by many of our clients. A young, student, arty crowd tend to frequent Szoda bar and we can understand why. This bar has a really cool vibe, good music, great selection of beverages and the staff are very helpful. It’s not really great for big stag do groups in Budapest but the management doesn’t mind people on boys pissups. If you’re searching for that late night bar atmosphere, look for the Soda bottles that align its windows.

A popular Pest club-bar is ‘underground’, located unsurprisingly below street level. Inside there is an industrial décor feel, the bar is big and so is the thumping music. For a more ambient night, try Sundays instead. Do you like deep house, break beat, hiphop or drum n bass? If you do, then take note of Jail house club in district IX of Budapest. There promotional team is one of the best in Hungary and so are there resident DJs, who throw some of the best parties in the capital. Whatever you want from your city break nightlife, whether Budapest pissups, exotic clubs or banging sound systems, this is definitely the city. One of the trendiest clubs is Home, which draws all the big name DJs to come and spin the turntables. It’s a large nightclub on the outskirts of town and is filled with some of the most glamorous people in Hungary. The music is chunky & funky, the people are relaxed and the club is absolutely rocking. This definitely deserves a thumbs up for a top night out on your Hungary holidays. The door policy can be strict for me groups on those big weekends away, so we advise making a guest list, to avoid the disappointment of being turned away. Bahnhof is a great fun time club, with two major dancefloors, pumping out cheesy hits and house music. It’s very rare for this place not to be busy on the weekends, always packed out with beautiful young people and party hard expats & stag dos. If you’re looking for a safe place for a good drink and dance, then check this venue out.

Club Colosseum is an excellent late night clubbing option, running till about 5am on Friday and Saturdays. The music policy is generally tech-house, trance and goa, and is popular amongst ravers. Club Fantasy is not a lap dancing club as the name might have you believe. It’s an averaged sized club, that hosts live Djs and music, which mainly draws in the local Hungarian students. Drinks are cheap and the vibe is unpretentious. A big cellar drinking hole, offering over a hundred different bottled beers and cocktails is Crazy café. They also serve food here aswell, to supplement your liquid stag weekend diet. Fat Mo's Music Club is typically like a lively, English pub-bar. You can hear jazz, blues, rock and pop, and a Dj that plays those sing along hen party anthems. It’s an extremely popular place amongst the expats, so if you’re looking to do some proper drinking, then head to Fat Mo’s. Kozgaz Pinceklub is a student disco located in the heart of the city's economics university. If you can pass yourselves off as toast eating students, then you’ll enjoy the cheap beer, fresh friendly faces and maybe some Karaoke action. This could be a great fun-time option for a good old Budapestpissup. Another unpretentious place to venture to is Süss Fel Nap, where the drinks are cheap flowing and the atmosphere is relaxed & friendly.

The John Bull pub is a well run establishment, with an excellent choice of beers and very pleasant staff. Fregatt, the first English-style pub in Hungary, is also very nice and is open till 1am most evenings. Both of these pubs are frequented by expats, and locals and are a good starting point for a few warm up drinks. The Old Man’s Music Pub, Morrison’s music pub and Janis Pub are all good drinking holes. For something a bit different from the usual pubs, then we suggest Kiserkel or Piaf, which attract a more relaxed and sophisticated clientele. They both play really cool music, serve quality drinks and Kiserkel bar even plays cult films. Other major hot night clubbing spots in Budapest are Mokkacuka club and Pacha, which is renowned for there legendary nights in Ibiza. Mokkacuka club invites some of the best world Djs, famous guests include the scratch champion ‘DJ Woody’ UK and Russian percussion master DJ Vadim of Ninja Tune. Party’s of men should make guest list reservations to get into their events. For the latest house tunes, drop into E-Play and for Latin music, try Trocadero Café. Budapest has over a dozen casinos, mostly located in the luxury hotels along the Dunakorzo.
