Kisüzem

Those looking to passionately debate Hungarian political history will find themselves at home in this bar in the heart of Budapest's Jewish Quarter by Klauzál tér. The quiet, chess-playing, tea-sipping crowd in the afternoons is deceiving – come night-time and Kisüzem fills to capacity so that earning a place at the bar can be a challenge. Despite being in a tourist-heavy area, local artists, left-wing intellectuals, and international students comprise the regular customers because prices have remained wallet-friendly. Hungarian wines and beers are available, as well as fancy rums from the top shelf.
