The chronicles of a Hungarian and European infinite pub crawl
Oktoberfest in Munich missed, but Oktoberfest in Budapest checked, once again this year. Last yearâs occasion was my first time. I did not count on the tickets to be sold out already on Saturday, and after my friends had no luck on getting theirs, I decided to attend on the âgrand finaleâ on Sunday instead. Continue Reading
The prophecy of a brasserie of Szent AndrĂĄs brewery was my only comfort, when the Hopfanatic Pub returned to his origins (Kiskunhalas) from Budapest. I had the feeling that the small beer cellar in Hunyadi square will be treated well by the successor. This theory was based on quite flimsy grounds at first. My only Continue Reading
If we are about to see the big picture of Budapest’s pub life, we shouldnât concentrate too much to the small details first. It is too various, and the many types of drinking venues we have fragment it like a puzzle. Because of that I only give you a few hints for a start, and Continue Reading
(2nd stop, 2nd Budapest stop after 4 visit ) The story of the actual first day of my pub crawl continues. On the first day of my continuous pub crawl I dropped into the Sissi kĂĄvĂ©hĂĄz Ă©s sörözĆ (Sissi coffeehouse and brasserie) as second stop, in an even outer part of the Seventh District. This name Continue Reading
(after after three visits) The story âhow I actually started my station pub crawl of currently more than 440 pubsâ continues The very first spontaneous stop of my tour was a small pub, called HalĂĄsz (outern-ErzsĂ©betvĂĄros, VII. district, Budapest), in this retro crossing, with such cool blue painted barrels as terrace: Here I had my Continue Reading
Budapest has cool beerfestivals also this weekend. I returned to our outer 10th District, KĆbĂĄnya which is famous about historical beer producing. There is a big industrial park for our biggest beer factory, Dreher Brewery. Dreher is the family name behind the beer. This family is rumored to be the one, who invented the very Continue Reading
This is how I actually started my pub crawl with (so far) more than 440 stations. I started my tour in Budapest, on 7th of October and realized two things that day. 1. I had a sore throat. 2. I was missing myself again. I returned two weeks ago from my first holiday spent alone, from Continue Reading
One day after I said goodbye to Maxi bar in Opatija, I was in Hungary again. I was travelling to Zalaegerszeg through HĂ©vĂz, but I missed my connection. I won one hour there. I went to look around how the second most commercial guest nights counting Hungarian settlement was developing since my last time there. Continue Reading
I visited more than 80 venues on my tour when I was thinking, that I am already aware of most of the aspects of a pubâs popularity, how one can attract more people or even the majority, than others. The idea of better do a rating or ranking crossed my mind again. Maybe it would Continue Reading
How can you meet in the Budapest nighlife the cityâs oldest youth choir? How can you catch an English bar singer perform an own song based on only one Hungarian word, the âpetrezselyemâ (parsley) from a corner, just accidentally? How do you get to know the shocking urban legend of the dildo hanging down from Continue Reading
