Anker'T ruin bar

The phenomena known as ruin pubs have taken over the nightlife of Budapest a few years back, and established a pattern for success. Nonetheless, worn-down pieces of furniture, psychedelic interiors, and a bunch of hipsters are not enough to create a popular spot, a certain kind of charm is also needed.

Anker’t, the summer version of Anker Klub, is the largest garden bar in downtown Budapest. Housed by the enormous building of a former factory, it is characterized by a minimalist interior, and is made up of huge, connecting courtyards. The first courtyard gives home to a mile-long counter suited for socializing and crowd-scanning, and also a separated dance floor. The rest of the courtyards were made for chilling, chatting, and even playing sand soccer on a rarely-seen urban beach. Unfortunately, the latter comes without a sea, though, following a few shots and beers, you can just imagine that for yourself. Don’t miss out on the tasty grill dishes!

Anker't is closed during the autumn and winter season. It reopens next spring (2013).
