Best Places to Get Cocktails in Budapest

While Hungarian wine gains traction and Budapest’s craft beer scene is on the rise, even if you’re a cocktail lover there is no need to feel left out when you come to the Hungarian capital. If your preference is sipping a classic Martini or an experimental concoction, here’s our guide to Budapest’s cocktail hangouts – whether you prefer your poison shaken or stirred.

Boutiq’Bar

If you’re into cocktails, then Boutiq’Bar has your name on it. It’s won awards over the years, including the winning title as Hungary’s best cocktail bar as well as one of the top fifty cocktail bars in the world. And understandably so, since the bar boasts it can offer 350 cocktail options thanks to its staff of highly knowledgeable bartenders who can knock up anything from a Whisky Sour and an Old Fashioned to a unique, adventurous concoction you won’t find anywhere else!

Brody Studios

While Brody Studios is a private members club, some of its events are open to the public, including its Alchemist Nights, a special event for cocktail lovers that follow a special theme with various cocktails centred around that theme. And even if you don’t make it for one of the Alchemist Nights, you can try some of the in house cocktails from the menu, such as the Botanist, a herby cocktail with gin and an accent of absinthe and pepper, or classics like the Gimlet or Monkey Gland.

WarmUp

You won’t find a menu offering a list of cocktails at WarmUp, a small bar on Nagy Diófa utca. Once you sit down, you’ll get a glass of water and your bartender will come to your table and ask for your preference. If you want a Negroni, they’ll mix you a Negroni, but if you’re not sure, you’ll get questions like whether you prefer gin or whisky, or whether you like sweet or sour cocktails. In the end, you’ll get a bespoke cocktail tailored to your tastes.

And, if you’re someone who enjoys something different, you can try your cocktails at the inhouse Blind Bar, so you can really focus on the smell, taste and texture without getting caught up with looks.

Impostor

Located in the former MTV Building on Szabadság Square, Impostor captures that ruined Berlin vibe after taking up residence in the dilapidated and abandoned space.
