    Cactus Juice is an American western style pub and restaurant. Its location in a dark vaulted cellar as well as the wooden bar and furniture create a warm western atmosphere.

    Various sorts of international drinks are on offer. The menu lists a wide variety of both local and international dishes. Prices are comparably reasonable for the area.

    This happen to be my favorite place for out and having a few beers while in Budapest. I had met this really nice guy on my flight down to Budapest and he invited me to come out for a drink or two with him and some of his friends. I joined him and his friends at this little dive place, which by the way served pizza as well.

    We enjoyed a few beers, shared the pizza and talked about our travels. I can't recall what the address to this place is (usually I jot that info down), but I do rember that it was in the vicinty on a side street to Vaci street.

    I was having such a good time that I totally forgot to take a pic of the interior, so the exterior is all I have :)

    Its a little dive place, come as you are.

    I was doing my usual stroll around the city when it started to rain a little harder than I care to be out in, so I ducked into this Irish Pub to wait out the rain and have a drink. The pub was pretty crowded as there were a few games going on.

    The entrance is followed by a large staircase that takes you downstairs to the large cavernous pub. There were tables and TV's through the pub, but I decided to sit at the bar. They had a large selection of your usual pub food, drinks and all sorts of beers on tap.

    I just ordered a few Stellas.

    Budapest Pubs: Nothing Old-man-ish about this spot!

  • I wanted to check every theme for this hotspot on the Pest side of the city! We started wandering around and checking out "real" old man pubs, (because that's where you get to see and meet the people of the city), and The Old Man's came highly recommended by a bouncer with a pony tail. As with most pubs in Budapest, this one is also located in an old cellar. We had no idea what we were in for!

    When we arrived, people were finishing their dinners and a live band was playing. We found a little spot in the corner and reveled in the newsprint covered ceilings for a while. After a few shots of Palinka and giant glasses of beer, the dance music started. Then I discovered that there was a whole 'nother disco on the floor below us. We "people watched" the meat-market action for hours ... and it seemed that there were people from all over the world hanging out.

    Old Man's is eclectic enough to please everyone. We're not huge "disco" fans, but we really enjoyed all the options that came with drinking at this fine establishment. Food, live music and dancing with festive folks from everwhere!!! I will definately go back.

    Anything you want! It's hot down there, so you may want to wear something light under your coat!

    In Budapest, "Castro" was our favourite pub with its student crowd and cheap beer. It is almost local pub in the university region.

    In our last night, we tried "palinka", traditional Hungarian drink. I can say I extremely love it! I guess it is stronger than tequila! There are different types of palinka, but you should try the grape with honey!

    There is no dress code, however to be in comfortable / sport dress is better!

    Budapest Pubs: Live Jazz and Blues in Pest

    Enjoying Blues and Beer at Fat
    Mo's
    by dcwizard
    If you're looking for a fun, laid-back, yet still hoppin' place to hear live music, Fat Mo's is a good choice. A favorite of tourists and locals alike, Fat Mo's is a typical Budapest cellar-type bar, but with good live acts (usually jazz and blues) almost every night. The bar staff is friendly, and if you have the munchies, there is a good selection on the menu. Good selection of beer on tap. You can usually find a few places at one of the bars, but if you're planning an evening there, call ahead and reserve a table.

    Come as you are!

    Budapest Pubs: "For Sale"

    Opposite the new market hall, there is a pub called "For Sale". We discovered it while taking night photos in the streets. We followed the music coming from the pub and then entered the pub. There was a live local music that attracted all of us and made us stop taking more photo at that night.

    It is a small country-style pub that you can see local people and tourists together.

    It has a bit of a "British Manufactured" feeling, it is a good place to swill grog until the wee hours. It is the only British style pub that I ran across while I was there.

    I ran into a couple of drunken English boys who could drink like fish. We hung out and drank Bitter unitl even the hookers left!

    During my evening walk on Vaci street I came across this place. There were quite a few people inside just haning out, eating and drinking so I decided to have a quick beer and just rest for a bit. I was exhausted at this point and had a quick beer and left. They have a full menu, but I didn't even bother to check it out since I was just here for a quick drink.

    Come as you are.
