Gólya Presszó
A proper ruin bar experience, Gólya is a bar and community center that operates in an industrial building out near the factories of Budapest's Chinatown. Set across three levels, the ground floor is reserved for its live events—everything from poetry readings and jazz to hardcore hip-hop and drum and bass—while the upper level and its impressive open-air roof see a regular assortment of leftist locals and expats debating politics and pop culture. The beer list is impressive given the space, and you'll also find decent wines and mixed drinks on the menu, all affordably priced. Other unique events include film clubs, lectures, art exhibitions, and fundraisers, keeping this place buzzing most nights.
