Among the hottest discos in the city, a mixed crowd fills the labyrinth-like structure and parties hard until dawn. If you’re serious about dancing, head here.
Description:
This cellar bar and disco situated on the riverbank naturally does not offer a view. There are however, a few tables available outside when the weather permits. The exterior of the building is marked out with a capital 'C' on the wall; watch out for the steep steps. Try to get there before midnight in order to catch the drag shows. Capella attracts both gay and straight folks who come to get down on the rather small and sweaty dance floor. The music is mainly house, with a funky edge.

This fabulous bar/club underneath the Art Cinema lives up to its name. Surprisingly good food and strong drinks keep the crowds flowing here - great location near the Oktogon!
Description:
This café and music club sits next to the Muvesz cinema on Terez Korut. It is designed to recreate the atmosphere of Emir Kusturica's movie of the same name. The difference is that you take the stairs instead of the lift into the cellar which is decked out with big, built-in factory fans and industrial lamps hanging from the ceiling. Sunday through Tuesday, it is quiet with ambient music playing in the background while weekends are reserved for 'underfunk' with local DJs on turntables and a fairly young crowd of followers.

Our Local Expert Says:
Exceptionally beautiful and modern theatre with quite an illustrious history; purchase a ticket (if available!) to a performance if only to marvel at the gorgeous interior and bigwigs of Budapest society.
Description:
Operetta, concerts, and rock opera; the newly renovated Budapest Operetta Theatre features an eclectic mix of live musical events. Also, for fans of drama, the Theatre puts on Shakespeare plays and other classic performances. Old fashioned box seats, ceiling design, and architecture juxtapose modern lighting and stage technology, creating a uniquely stylized experience.
