Hello!
If you’ve already come to Budapest – or are planning to – let me be the one to help you enjoy every bit of the city! I became a tour guide because I love what this city has to offer: history, romance, secluded spots and vibrant nightlife. And of course the good food, drinks and panoramas! So, brace yourselves, here are some places guaranteed to make you fall in love with Budapest.
Let’s start with one of my favourites, Blue Fox The Bar.
It’s not just a bar – it’s an atmosphere. It’s located at the bottom of the Kempinski Hotel Budapest, and once you get in, you won’t want to leave. They really know their cocktail art here! The mixologists conjure up drinks that will make even those who have only ever had mineral water start to enjoy a cocktail. The interior is stylish but not overbearing – a touch of elegance, a touch of cool, and you’ll feel right at home. If you’re on a date, if you’re with friends, or if you just want a cool Insta-pic, this place has it all.
For me, Blue Fox The Bar has always been a special little world in the heart of Budapest – a place where you can be sophisticated and casual, chic and playful. From the moment you walk in, you can feel that every detail is taken care of: the lights are warm, the music is present just enough to set the mood, and the staff… well, they really are masters of hospitality. They’re not just polite, they’re friendly – they chat to you as if you’re an old friend just popping in for a drink.
And the drinks! Now that’s a story for a novel.
The classics are reimagined and there’s a story behind every cocktail. For example, their Budapest Essence – that’s the city in a glass! It’s spicy, a little sweet, something mysterious that you can’t quite put your finger on, but you just know it’s there. And if you don’t know what to ask for? Tell us what you like, and the bartender will whip up something totally unique in minutes – and yes, you’ll be ordering it every time from then on.
But my favourite is when you get a little “show” with your drink – steaming, smoking, or even flower petal-adorned wonders that are guaranteed to make your jaw drop. Here, cocktailing really is an experience, not just an evening routine.
And the Blue Fox isn’t just for evening parties – it’s perfect for a stylish afternoon meeting, a business meeting or a little me-time. Sit by the window, order a signature drink, and watch the hustle and bustle of Deák Square – as if you were on the set of a movie starring yourself.
So, if you’re looking for somewhere really special yet friendly in downtown Budapest, look no further – Blue Fox The Bar is where an evening to remember is made.
