Bars & pub crawls · TIKI AND THEMED BARS
Rum in a ceramic skull, a bar carved entirely from ice, a room done out as somewhere else entirely. These 15 are the themed rooms worth an evening, priced and honest about how many drinks come with the ticket.

Meet your English-speaking guide under an umbrella at Becketts Irish Bar, then visit four Budapest bars and clubs, including ruin-bar favorites and a final nightclub. Expect free shots, games, short walks, changing venues, and guides such as Lumi, Rocky, Mark, and Lucas.
“I recently joined the Budapest Pub Crawl and it was the highlight of my trip! Our guide, Lumi, was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, he was so thoughtful he added everyone on WhatsApp and shared the night's itinerary and live locations so no one would get lost. What impressed me the most was his focus on our safety. He constantly checked to make sure everyone was keeping up with the group and genuinely cared about our well-being throughout the night. After the tour, he even sent us a massive, detailed list of local recommendations (from the best Goulash to hidden coffee shops). It felt like having a local friend…”

Join guides such as Obi, Philipp, Lana, or Sagar for a five-hour Budapest night out. Visit several ruin-style bars, collect five included shots, meet other drinkers, and finish at Instant-Fogas, the city’s biggest ruin club. Expect a social party more than a history lesson.
“This was suppose to be a ruins pub tour but was more of a regular bar “tour”. I say “tour” because the tour guide Literally just took us from one spot to the next and would just hang out with his friend. At the lost spot I didn’t even see him Again after our “shot”. The shots were a JOKE. I saw them make them and it was a splash of vodka with sprite. I’ve done quite a few tours all over and this was absolutely my least favorite.”
Join English-speaking guides such as Usman, Ayza, Aqeel, Rohit, or Philipp for five hours of Budapest bar hopping. Visit ruin pubs, enjoy welcome shots, meet an international crowd, skip queues, and finish dancing at Instant-Fogas.
