Kuplung is located in a former garage that maintains its original grubby appearance on the outside. It's not an easy place to spot, but look for clubbers heading behind its wooden gates and you'll soon find the party. There's table tennis and foosball, live concerts, and a DJ spinning electronic music.
Kuplung is also an ideal place for a coffee when strolling on Király Street, Budapest's Design Street.

This charming and legendary restaurant is in the former Jewish Quarter of Budapest and is known for its Jewish specialties. Don’t let the exterior or the décor fool you - Kádár is one of those places where homemade food is served, tables are shared, and there are only a few dishes to choose from, but everything tastes just great. You pay as you leave - it works very much like Schwartz's in Montreal.
