Akvarium Klub
Somewhere between a snazzy lounge and a culture-club dive music bar, Akvárium is one of the city’s most popular downtown venues. A top-notch lineup of international and Hungarian musical guests fills the program weekly. Recently renovated, the main hall features a state-of-the-art sound system and sound insulation that keeps audiences coming back and due to its location (under the square), there are no city volume restrictions imposed on its concerts. The glass ceiling in the main room is the bottom of the water fountain located on the neighborhood square above, creating a fantastic, surreal effect, with the help of multicolor lighting. A huge outdoor, open-air terrace sprawls out over the concrete steps leading down to the club---the perfect meetup point for pre-concert drinks or before a night on the town on clear summer nights. Free cultural events often take place here, too.
