Budapest · Kazinczy utca 14

A place that refuses to be just a bar.

A courtyard, a maze of rooms, found objects, music and light. Szimpla Kert helped define Budapest's ruin-pub culture — and still feels like its own small universe.

A Budapest original

A little organised chaos

Szimpla began in the early 2000s as an experiment in reusing overlooked spaces. Its current home on Kazinczy utca opened in 2004.

The charm is in the details: mismatched furniture, unexpected corners, plants, installations and a courtyard that changes character from daytime to late night.

Day and night

The courtyard shifts from a place to look around to a busy meeting point after dark.
