This curious little building has been there since the 60's (was designed as an info pavilion by the comrades, the roof forms the compulsory communist red star from above) and hasn't changed much ever since. Except the spirit ...it's super cooooooool. A favourite spot of bike messengers and skate boarders and other chilled-out types. Yummy bean-gulash for 850 HUF (€3) and other simple dishes.... and of course: beer (from 400HUF, €1.4), spritzer, palinka, World Cup...
