Ruin Bar
Went to a “ruin bar” called Élesztő last night with Mark, Julia, and Julia’s sister Eldred. It seems to be a uniquely Budapest experience, where people commandeer the ruins of an old abandoned building and set up a pub with a randomly mismatched assortment of tables, chairs, and benches, including sometimes the back seats from cars! Élesztő’s specialty is locally brewed craft beers and is in the remains of an old glass factory where a large will set you back less than $2.
