Budapest kerts

So I was doing some research for a buddy on the restaurant and bar scene in Budapest and came up with something that I had never heard of before, Kerts, the literal translation is ‘garden’.

Mostly seasonal except for the more established ones like Szimpla Kert(in the Jewish quarter of Pest also a cinema), these are a bohemian oasis where you can find dj sets, cheap drinks, aged courtyard view or a rooftop view, eclectic makeshift décor and a mix of personalities, mostly young.

Kerts are found in old courtyards perhaps in a building slated for demolition. One kert is a on communist-era department store rooftop, Corvinteto kert(year round), I’d love that, a long view, warm evening, local yokals. http://www.corvinteto.com/

These makeshift bars pop up in the spring and summer to September around Budapest, generally you have to check the current local sources for happening new kerts. Now this gives me an itch to go back to Budapest…
