Tuk Tuk Bar

Tuk Tuk is a tiny cocktail bar nestled on the ground floor of the Casati boutique hotel. Old photos and heavy crimson drapes evoke the hedonistic culture of 1920s-Shanghai inside this dark drinking den. Being on a quiet street within Budapest's party district, Tuk Tuk is a perfect hideaway from the commotion a few blocks away. The bartenders don't shy away from using Hungary's potent national fruit brandy, as in the “Pálinka sour,” where the almond-flavored amaretto liqueur balances out the heft of the spirit. They will also prepare classic cocktails upon request. Though not formally gay, Tuk Tuk, similar to the hotel upstairs, is gay-friendly.
