  Central Szinhaz at Révay utca 18

It was the word "Szinhaz* on the banner that caught my eye and so a wander in that direction was a bit of a no-brainer. "Hmmm....Maybe they'll have a bar as well.", I thought.

HA! Interesting choice of word to use to mean "Theatre" but then historically the theatrical tradition worldwide has always had a reputation for the risqué.

Hungary has a very strong theatrical and musical heritage and here in Budapest you'll find houses of sin (which includes cinemas too) on almost every other street. Most performances will obviously be in Hungarian (though I do believe that some have English sub- or sur-titles) but there is a dedicated branch of Anglo-thespianism based at the Merlin Szinhaz, just down the road from Deak Ferenc ter.

I haven't been to a peformance yet but yes I presume they have a bar - HIC!
