by

Should you wander the streets of Budapest and wish for an English pub, you won’t be disappointed. Among all the different ruin bars, quaint cafés and wooden wine cellars, London Pub Budapest brings together British history and Hungarian style. It doesn’t matter if you’re an expert traveler, a backpacker or a long-term expat; this place should be part of your plans.

A Mix of British and Hungarian Cultures

Situated right in the center of Budapest, London Pub Budapest gives a modern take on a traditional British pub. There is antique wood paneling, chairs covered in leather, framed views of London’s famous sights and you’ll find regular pints of Guinness and some of the area’s best beers.

Because most hotels are in the center, near Király or Népszínház Streets or the Jewish Quarter, they are easy to get to whether you’re near the river or in Buda. Because the city is easy to walk around and has great public transport, getting to a pub is quick on the tram or metro.

Experiences at London Pub Budapest

London Pub Budapest is not only a drinking place, but something more. The neighborhood is a place where locals, tourists and expats meet. This is what draws people to visit Bruges:

1. Atmosphere

2. Drinks Selection

Still sticking to tradition, the bar serves plenty of British beers, Irish stouts and local craft beer. You can order traditional drinks as well as a wide variety of whiskies here. Try either Dreher or Soproni if you like to experience Hungarian brewing.

3. Food Offerings

Dishes on the menu combine popular British meals with traditional Hungarian cuisine. Among the classic dishes, you’ll see fish and chips, bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, goulash soup and lángos (fried dough with cheese and sour cream). Portions are satisfying, great to eat after exploring all day.

4. Friendly Staff

Travel Advice for a Trip to London Pub Budapest

It helps to remember these pointers during your trip:

1. Go During Happy Hour

If you’re trying to save money, consider going during happy hour (which is usually 4 PM to 7 PM) to enjoy drinks at a lower price. Drink promotions and bundled food and beer offers are usual.

2. Look at the event calendar.

There are sometimes live music events, quizzes or special nights, especially to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day or Guy Fawkes Night in the UK. It helps to look at their social media or website before making your trip.

3. Reserve Your Booking for the Weekend at Least a Few Days in Advance

Pubs are a favorite choice for both tourists and residents. Things are usually busiest at the weekend, mostly on Friday and Saturday. If you are planning a night out, consider letting the restaurant know ahead of time for a table reservation.

4. Use the local public trains or buses.

The transport network in Budapest is very modern and efficient. You can easily and cheaply use trams, buses and the metro which operate often. If you have a few drinks, you should ask someone else to be the driver.

5. Connect your Cash Card to your bank at first and carry cash as well.

Almost everywhere in Budapest takes cards, still, having a little money in Hungarian Forints can be handy. Major credit cards are usually accepted at a London Pub, though giving a cash tip (around 5–10%) is always appreciated.

The Most Ideal Time to Travel

The views in Budapest are always lovely and each period of the year brings a different atmosphere to London Pub.

In spring/summer, restaurants put more chairs outside, making it easier for crowds to mingle on the sidewalk.

Now that it’s fall, stay indoors, light some candles and treat yourself to a good stout.
