Korona (=Crown) brasserie, the cellar treasury

As we leave the downtown behind at the Keleti Railway Station, the number of the pubs is drastically decreasing, so every single piece should be estimated. Let me introduce Korona, the geographically second to last pub of the here already calmed down party district. This is an actual treasury, which quasi created a museum of itself with Continue Reading

Excavating Bavarian “pub paintings” in Bologna

The story of starting an Italian pub crawl with a Bavarian pub in Bologna. (The mentioned pubs: Ein Prosit, Bologna) I arrived to Bologna by train. The surroundings of the railway station are like anywhere else; the very first impressions didn’t seem to be a proper fridge magnet material. Beggars were sleeping on the edge Continue Reading

In memory of Krisztina – Journey to Győr

Whenever you travel by yourself, you never will be actually alone! Give it a try and see! You will always find people like you and form alliance with the same time travelers and locals with constant wanderlust in their hearts. You can share your discoveries, ideas and your story. Unfortunately I have to say an eternal good bye now Continue Reading

KáOsZ Drink Station/Italozó (Budapest) – To feel like house guests in a pub

149. stop, 133. Budapest stop It’s the best to be in pubs where the barman is the manager in one, because it feels like being a house guest there, not only gastronomy guests. To be at János, in KáOsZ (=ChAoS) is like to be house guests as well. Our story with KáOsZ was started in Continue Reading

What did I find in Bologna instead of spaghetti?

Just to settle things right at the beginning, there is no such thing as the famous Spaghetti Bolognese. I know, all the revolutionary memoirs about this city begin with a sentence like this, but still. In my eyes, Bologna had to get over a lot of other misconceptions too, but this city managed it and Continue Reading

Nana – The preserved social scene

(87. stop, 70. Budapest stop, after 6 visits) There are a couple of surprisingly casual pubs even in the upper-class fifth district. Supposedly and unfortunately, there are less and less of them and we could exactly count their number as it is getting quite limited. From these, I introduce Nana first, which is located by Continue Reading

I say a little prayer for the good, old Papucs (Pécs, Hungary)

I haven’t made any pub crawl in Pécs, in the fifth biggest city of Hungary (145.000 inhabitants) until few weeks ago. My journey there came like a bolt from the blue, after one of my old class mates, who lived there before, sent me this article about the closure of the famous, very traditional Papucs Continue Reading

Ebihal (=Tadpole): Pub-Sanctuary on water, next to Budapest

(390. stop, 1st. Budakalász stop – after one visit) We were investigating an urban small town legend this time. I heard, there was a little tavern on a ferry somewhere, just outside Budapest, that is still in operation. When the ferryman has business on the other shore of the river, you are basically transported too, while Continue Reading

FASOR Espresso – A „pubmuseum” built around the most surprising cash tray of all

168. stop (147. Budapest stop) after 2 visits Buda is always charged for being the much more silent half of Budapest, but the inner areas are spectacularly catching up. However, alongside the „feels like evergreen” park of Városmajor, you can’t describe Buda as frequented anymore for sure.  At the gate of this new world you Continue Reading

Illuzió sörbár (=Illusion brasserie) – the Utopia of the Hungarian pubs

187th stop, 160th Budapest stop – I wrote this after six visit In case you would ever wonder, Illuzió became one of my favorite pubs of my entire pub crawl. I had this deal with you and myself, that I don’t rate the pubs. But I let myself pick my own favorites. Illuzió realized the Utopia of Continue Reading
