We're all ears..
Thanks for asking, brings back some good memories
I spend there one study semester and only lived 5 minutes away from coronita bar….but had no idea of it. one night we were out in one oft he bigger clubs outside of budapest…I think it was called „club 51“. it was a porn-techno-party (yes…they had sex on stage
). when the club closed, there was a double-decker-bus without a roof (like at loveparade) with free drinks and a dj playing techno music which took us back to town……and guess where it stopped: coronita bar!
A small club in the middle of a shopping street. dark, nasty….open from saturday morning to sunday night. and, how can i describe it? let’s say: with a non existing drug policy. I can remember a guy wearing a body bag staying in front of the toiletts („what do you sell?“ – „everything“). And no need to use the toilets…..just order some unicum at the bar and do your thing
.
It looks like they renamed club51 to club coronita…and the original coronita bar has closed. I’m not sure if the new one is similar…..
Club piaf: I was there only twice, more relaxed, some gay people but not only. Not easy to get in, as we had to knock on a door to convince the bouncer to let us in …..talking through a door viewer (like in the gangster movies).
basically I can say that budapest is a great town with nice people, low prices. good food and very beautiful by night. But also many poor people……..many lost their jobs when they joined the EU. But I hope that changed since then…..
