4Hunnia Bisztró
Hunnia is an old-school, below-ground music bar best known for its Friday and Saturday night concerts, when A and B-level Hungarian bands take over the tiny stage for a high-energy show. Many who perform here were part of Budapest's alternative music scene in the 1970s and 1980s, most famously Mihály Víg and his Balaton group. Some are still going strong, as are their graying but desperately loyal fans. A deeply local experience right in the city center.
