The route

Three ruin bars, then two clubs

Meet us at the McDonald's on Blaha Lujza tér, 21:00

Bright, busy and impossible to miss — on the M2 metro and the 4–6 tram, so you can find it from anywhere in the city.

  1. Ruin bar
  2. Ruin bar
  3. Ruin bar
  4. Club
  5. Club

A free shot at every venue

All five. Included, never compulsory.

VIP entry throughout

You walk past the queue, including at both clubs.

A guide for the whole night

With you from 21:00 until the end at 02:00.

Groups capped at thirty

Past twenty people, a second guide joins the night.

Not included: drinks beyond the free shots, food, transport.

Why people book us instead

Most crawls in this city move a hundred people at a time. That's not what this is.

We only go to real ruin bars

Budapest has a well-known problem with bars that inflate tabs and push overpriced drinks on tourists. We don't go near them. Every venue on our route is somewhere we drink ourselves, and we'll tell you which places to avoid for the rest of your trip.

Groups stay small

Never more than thirty people. You won't spend your evening losing the group in a crowd, or waiting forty minutes at the bar for a shot.

Nobody gets lost

We count heads before every move. Your guide's number goes to the whole group at the start, so if you get separated you're one message away from finding us again.

Your guide is working, not partying

We're there to run your night, not to have one. Someone competent is in charge from start to finish.

Come alone. Most people do

Turning up by yourself is the most common way people join this. We handle the introductions at the start so you don't have to, and there's no pressure to keep up with anyone.

Zero tolerance, and we mean it

Anyone who makes another person in the group uncomfortable is removed from the crawl. No warning, no refund, no debate. That's the entire policy.

Message us to book

Tell us the date and how many of you are coming. We'll confirm your spot and send a pin for the meeting point.

€10

per person

Pay cash when you arrive at Blaha. Bring €10 or the forint equivalent — small notes help us start on time. If you'd rather pay in advance, ask and we'll send a payment link.

Plans changed? Just message us before 21:00 so we're not holding a spot. No fee, no forms.
