Drinks & Nightlife
One of my favorite ruin pub. Grandio is a 2in1 hostel and ruin pub. The inner courtyard of the building is covered so thickly with plantain-like plants that the usual ruinpub-furnishings (old and tattered garden chairs and tables with a new coat of paint) placed amongst them are separated into small, intimate spaces. Open only in summer! ★6 MINUTES ON FOOT★

From the huge roof terrace - open in Summer until morning - you can have a unique view to the roofs, the neon ads, the huge cranes working, and the hills of Buda, as well. From Autumn till Spring you have to go one floor down to an indoor area bathed in red light reminding you of the colours and shapes of the 1980’s. And then we haven’t mentioned the wide selection of electronic music, which is one of the strong points of Corvin Terrace.★8 MINUTES ON FOOT★
