Csakajósör Budapest
Only good beer
A real man (or beer lover) cave with the widest range of beer I've ever seen. Gergő (the owner) and his partner run the shop/bar focused on the best Hungarian craft and they bring us specialties from the all over the world. I would never have a chance to try New Zealand, US or Scottish brews without this only-good-beer shop. They also make their own craft that you can try in the shop. Apart from that, usually there are 5-6 international brands you can try on draft.
The shop is small and most of the time full, but even if there's no seat for you, you can have your beer standing up and meet beer lovers from all over. If you have a question from the character or the making method the owners will kindly help you out.
They do not serve food but if you would like to grab a hamburger, I would go just out in front, where you can find a good place called Kandalló. They're tried and true, and at the very least their basic burgers are great!
Don't forget: Hungarian craft beer is a cool souvenir!
