Hands down the best cocktails I've had in Budapest. It's a speakeasy bar where the interior is a perfect blend of vintage and futuristic. The staff were AMAZING and helped us out with the ordering and we're overall a happy bunch.

Amazing cocktails at this place. Super original menu, skilled bartenders and a really cool vibe. Loved it!

Markus Reineke ✩✩✩✩✩

What a bar… From the outside it doesn't look like much. The entrance is also steep, but the inside has its own charm. The service is very friendly and is very knowledgeable about the different drinks. You can order whatever comes to mind.

Shanil Panara ✩✩✩✩✩

Drinks were phenomenal in this classy speakeasy bar! Best cocktails we've tried, and we've tried a lot!
