The 8th district of Budapest is probably the most exciting and most controversial part of this pulsing city — for many, many reasons. This is where the ruins of the past meet the new freedom of brave, innovative and creative thoughts. A vital characteristic of the 8th was, and in a way still is, its unique bars. Some of them have enormous character. One such place for me is Hintaló. Like some other cult places of the 8th, Hintaló also has a very strong and active crew behind it with a lot of energy and willingness to create and to really LIVE.
It’s a very cozy bar on two floors. In Hintaló, you can find some cocktails and quality local beers or even try the legendary spirit of Budapest, which has become so popular in bars in the last few years, called Tubi. Ask for it as a shot or with a soda. It is different from anything else most of us have tried before.
As mentioned, the crew is extremely kind, and somehow, they seem to be having fun all the time, which spreads to the guests in seconds. If it wasn't enough reason to visit this crazy little bar, there is even live music here at night sometimes. Wonderful local artists play here for their own amusement and the enjoyment of the people around them, creating an intense, stunning atmosphere among the warm colors of the bar.
