Tóth Kocsma
Opened in 1987, Tóth Kocsma is a below-ground downtown watering hole that it isn't trying to be more than what it is: an unpretentious, low-priced bar. The place is especially popular among groups of middle-aged locals who tend to fill most tables in the evenings. Although they've recently expanded their food selections, most people come here for drinks, and the zsíroskenyér (open-faced sandwich topped with lard and red onions) and the chicken liver sandwich.
