Finally a blog filling the gaping gap that is the absence of guiding pieces on the pubs of Budapest. You need not worry, your guide may be slow in recovering all hidden treasures of this great city, but he is quick in arming you with the details that will make you feel at home in any place, even before entering for the first time. Illuminating experience, I'm certain it'll prove to be.

Lónyai Pub

1092 Budapest, Lónyai utca 32.

We were lost. Completely lost on our way to a pub (a great place, according to a friend). But alas! a good pub is only tempting if it’s far from an even better one. In hindsight, it wasn’t such a bad choice, to abandon our original plan and visit Lónyai utca instead.

Oh, but the walls were simply horrid, I couldn't resist a comment now and again, not even dead drunk chemically inconvenienced. To leave planning to the snobbish bastards may have been a good idea at the time, but once the paintwork (probably by an undiscovered genius of a graffiti artist) was done, the dark tones were capable of tossing anyone into perfect depression even if they were having the best day of their lives - up to that point. I swear, it was the light of a single candle in the middle of our table that kept us sane (relatively).

The gist of it: keep your eyes off the wall, the rest is great.
