Drinking
1 Mélypont V, Magyar utca 23. A retro basement bar with a strong flavour of 1970s Hungary, "Rock Bottom" is full of memorabilia that won't mean much to the average non-Hungarian. Popular with a youngish crowd, and has table football. Opening time: Mon– Fri 4pm–1am, Sat 6pm–1am, Sun 6pm– midnight
2 Spoon V, on the river by the Inter-Continental hotel, 
www.spooncafe.hu . Set in a boat on the Danube in a great setting, looking across to the Lanchíd and the Buda Palace; the men's toilets have grandstand views of the Royal Palace. There's also a restaurant, which is good but expensive. Opening time: Daily noon–2am
