Advent in Budapest: Lights, markets and the perfect beer–burger combo

Budapest truly comes alive during Advent — glowing markets, festive streets and buzzing winter evenings. Our pub, located at Kertész utca 33, is right in the center of it all, making us an ideal stop before or after your holiday activities.

A cold evening and a warm burger are the perfect pair, especially when enjoyed with a freshly tapped craft beer. If you’re searching for a true beer and burger bar in Budapest, we aim to be exactly the place you’re hoping to find.

Special Advent schedule: We’re now open on Mondays

For the Advent period, we’ve extended our opening hours. While Mondays are usually our rest day, throughout the holiday season we welcome you every day from 12:00 to 24:00 — including Mondays.

Whether you’re meeting friends, finishing holiday errands, hosting visitors or simply craving a great burger and beer at the start of the week, we’ll be here.

We do recommend making a reservation during December, as the pub tends to fill up quickly.

Which burger should you try first? – Our seasonal guest favourites

Every burger on our menu is prepared with care: fresh buns, quality meat or plant-based patties and house-made sauces. Here are some popular choices that pair perfectly with winter evenings:

• Kandalló Burger — our signature creation with foie gras, truffle mayo and a soft brioche bun with a festive cranberry touch.
• Smokey BBQ — rich, smoky and deeply satisfying; a natural fit for cold weather.
• The Smash Hit — crispy-edged smashed patties with bacon and cheddar; always a safe (and delicious) choice.
• Habanero — bold and spicy, ideal for anyone wanting to warm up fast.
• Vegan & Gluten-Free Options — we offer vegan burgers with plant-based patties and sauces, as well as gluten-free buns. (Please note: while we offer gluten-free options, our kitchen is not fully gluten-free.)

Whatever you choose, you’ll enjoy a handcrafted burger made to bring out the best winter comfort food vibes.

Craft beer in Budapest: 16 rotating taps at our bar

As much as we love our burgers, we’re equally proud of our craft beer selection. With 16 rotating taps, there’s always something new to try. You’ll find IPAs, lagers, porters, stouts, seasonal brews and limited releases — a constantly changing lineup that keeps things exciting for beer lovers.

If you like pairing suggestions, here are a few ideas:

• IPAs and amber ales pair wonderfully with spicy burgers like the Habanero.
• Classic lagers are great with lighter favourites like The Smash Hit or vegan options.
• Dark beers such as stouts and porters complement rich, smoky burgers like the Smokey BBQ.

If you’re unsure what to choose, our team will happily guide you through the tap list.
