Szimpla Kert is one of the oldest "ruin pubs" in Budapest, and a popular hangout for students and art types. Szimpla offers concerts, movie nights, a computer room, a great collection of old furniture, reasonable prices, and a laid-back atmosphere. Most people come here to have a beer. A good bet almost any night.
'Ruin pubs' (romkocsma), consume formerly abandoned buildings in the city, and are very popular hot spots.
In 2012, Szimpla Kert was voted No. 3 in Lonely Planet's '100 great bars of the world' contest.
