Hungarians aren't that bothered as long as they've got a drink in front of them. Standing at counters is rare, but table service, though the norm, varies from slow to practically stationary. Bar snacks are starchy and simple, the pogacsa, a sailty scone, the meleg szendvics, a grilled slice of bread topped with cheese and either mushrooms or a mystery meat, or zsiros kenyer, bread and dripping with raw onions. There are three traditional mainstays, the borozo, a cheap and unpretentious wine cellar, the sorozo, a bear bar inferior those of Germany or Czech Republic, and the presso, a sort of caffe bar.Hungarian beer is acceptable if it's cold.

Favorite Dish: The area around the south end of Vaci utca
is decent for pub crawling, with an assortment of bars in its waterfront backstreets.
Most borozos and many presszos close at around 8 pm. Most pubs and bars open until midnight to 2 am.
