Madhouse

Madhouse is an oversized downtown beer hall that belongs to Mad Scientist, a leading Budapest craft brewery. From its humble beginnings in 2016, the company has grown into a recognized brand, amplified by their recent partnership with Hungary's biggest brewing company (Dreher). Most of the 25 taps are dedicated to Mad Scientist's own creations, but a few other local labels like Monyo, Balkezes, and Horizont are also available. Together with bottled beers, the selections are impressively wide: from a vanilla-infused wheat beer to a classic double IPA to an aged sour ale.

Price points are steep, the crowd is more mixed than at your average craft beer bar – in addition to the usual beer fanatics, well-dressed couples and groups of girlfriends also appear here.
