This is Szimpla Kert, Budapest's
well-known ruin pub.
Instead of renovating old abandoned
building, they use the building as is for bar and cafe, etc. All the sections were
decorated with lots of junks, and created very unique atmosphere. Cool and
kitsch, felt like sneaking in streetboys' hidden hangout spot.
If you watched "Moleman 2"
(documentary about demoscene culture) you might recognize this view. This place
was used to film its interview and Szilárd, a director of this film mentioned
in my interview as a recommended spot in Budapest.
Szilárd kindly took some time to see
me while I was in Budapest, and we could talk over a cup of tea in this place. It
was one of those “Life is funny” moments for me, and I was very happy to finally
meet him and say thanks to him in person. (My interview with demosceners started
because of this film.)
