This goes for the music too, in Instant Bar you can also find a quiet corner to sit and chat as well as a big crowded dance floor to party all night long – or even until 6 am in the morning!

Note: Please note that Instant Fogas complex, as a very crowded and popular ruin bar in Budapest, can be the location where nightlife incidents happen in the bar. For instance, pickpockets may be at work. Also, unfortunately, there have been several reviews on travel sites about incidents involving racism and complaints against security staff acting roughly. If there should be any negative experience please directly contact Instant Fogas on their Facebook page (please search for Instant Fogas on FB) with the exact date and details of the incident so that they can investigate the case immediately. The sooner the better. If you can provide visual proof it also helps. Keeping the top ruin bars safe and welcoming is a priority for us all. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
PLEASE avoid this club if you are a tourist, it is not safe.
My sister had her phone stolen from the bar, she asked the bouncers for help and was assaulted by 3 bouncers because of it. There were 3 other girls this happened to afterwards, in under an hour.
I have tried tirelessly to contact the club, including on the night by phoning, however they do not help. I have evidence and have even sent the club pictures of the bouncers asking for them to be fired but nothing has happened.
The proof is also in the trip advisor reviews – multiple accusations of assault by the bouncers and racism from staff.
