Hivatal
Opened in 2010 by five friends, Hivatal has since become one of the most important social institutions of the city centre, awaiting guests with a homely atmosphere, kind service, and an extensive drink selection. Whether it’s a kicking cappuccino you thirst for or a cosy bar with cool people, Hivatal is your place to be!

Fahéj Kávézó
Situated close to Deák Square, Fahéj is a lovely, no-fuss café and bar consisting of two rooms and a cosy little terrace, equally ideal for quiet book readings during the day and after-work drinks in the evening. Offering a wide range of drinks, their cinnamon honey apple pálinka is a must-try!

Roots Budapest
Roots Budapest aims to revitalize the outer parts of the Grand Boulevard by serving as a cultural hotspot of the area, hosting exhibitions, concerts and parties, and playing the most versatile collection of music during the day.
