Szimpla Kert, opened in 2002 in an abandoned building on Kazinczy utca in the Jewish Quarter, launched the ruin bar phenomenon that has since become synonymous with Budapest nightlife. The concept - converting derelict buildings into eclectic bars filled with salvaged furniture, bathtubs, and old cars - has spread across District VII, with Instant-Fogas, Anker't, and Ellátó Kert among the most popular offshoots.

Szimpla Kert itself sprawls across multiple levels and rooms, each with different music and decor. On Sunday mornings, the ground floor transforms into a farmers' market with local produce, honey, and street food. Entry is free most nights, with drinks priced lower than in the city's conventional bars - a craft beer runs about 1,200-1,800 HUF (€3-5).

Pro Tip: Visit Szimpla Kert on a weekday evening (Tuesday through Thursday) when it is busy enough to have atmosphere but not so packed that you cannot find a seat. The Sunday morning farmers' market (9:00 AM to 2:00 PM) is worth seeing even if you skip the nightlife.
