Are you looking for the best outdoor bars in Budapest? You are in the right place! The bars and pubs in Budapest are very important elements of the city. There are plenty of them and they are all unique in their style, which has developed from the classic cafes of the Austro-Hungarian era to the (recent) ruin pubs.
But what are the best outdoor bars to go to in summer in Budapest? Let’s start from the center, precisely from the main hub of the city: Deak Ferenc Ter. Here you will find the popular Fröccsterasz, which in the evening is always full of young people and night owls of all ages. Not far away, next to the Nyugati station, Sziráf is another of the most popular meeting places. In Kadarka bárka, on Margaret Island, you can have a drink and maybe even a game on the beach volleyball court. Do you want to drink or eat something directly in a swimming pool? No problem, in Pagony the tables have been placed inside the pools of a spa complex that is no longer used, behind the famous Géllert baths.

Staying in the center, you can’t help but stop in the garden of Csendes Társ, or in the more eccentric Hadik, on the Buda side. Moving further south along the river on the side of Pest, after the Corvinus University, begins another area full of clubs. Bálna is probably the best choice, but even if it is full you can always sit in the open air in one of the nearby breweries. The A38 is located just beyond, on the other side of the Danube. Here you can drink a cocktail or coffee directly on a ship.
