Best Ruin Bars in Budapest

Some of the best bars in Budapest are ruin bars, which are bars built in the ruins of old abandoned buildings.  There are often crazy art pieces hanging from the ceiling (think car-size things), videos playing on the walls and techno beats vibrating.  We’ve listed some of the more iconic ruin bars that are a good bet for those over 25.   If you’re for it though, the later you go, the crazier they get (i.e., after 2 or 3am).
