What are Ruin Bars?

The ruin bars of Budapest have turned abandoned historical apartment buildings into quirky and cozy apartment / art studio style pubs and bars. You may be sitting on a sofa, a tyre, or a bathtub, sipping a drink in a tiny room with a foosball table, a cupboard filled with meandering house plants, or a larger hall with a stage featuring an indie band. The walls may feature graffiti, communist memorabilia, disused vinyls and up-cycled industrial waste. Each square metre has the potential to come as a surprise or make you feel at ease.

Yes, ruin bars are absolutely stylish, fun and vastly popular (highlighted in leading newspapers incl. The Time magazine travel section).
