4Hintaló Iszoda
Hintaló is a snug bar located a bit outside the city center in Budapest's District 8. Apart from the low-lit, cozy interior lined with nooks and crannies – the upstairs is ideal for date nights – you are here for classic cocktails, craft beers, and amaros. Hintaló often fills up with a mixed crowd of hip international students and locals. Opening hours are a bit inconsistent, check before you go.
