The recipe for a perfect night out: beer and board games in Budapest
Change language:
Apart from being cool bars where you can grab a couple of beers with your friends, these places have many-many board games you can rent and play with to make your night out even more fun. If you thought board games are the young men’s game, you are wrong. There is a huge variety of board games for adults which can entertain various age groups for a whole night.
Barcraft 1
- 34. Ferenc Boulevard
- (30) 502 2464
- Open Monday-Sunday: from 2 p.m. until 12 a.m.
Besides drinking some very cool potion-looking cocktails, you can rent console or PC games as well as board games to play. However, keep in mind that board games can be rented only between 2 p.m. and 6.30 p.m.
However, it is free to play board games as long as you drink or eat for at least HUF 1500.
Barcraft 1 has more than 30 board games to choose from. The place is not a huge establishment, so it can easily become a little bit crowded, and the bar is also quite small, so you should expect a queue in the evenings when there are more people there. On the other hand, the whole place feels very cosy, and everything is closeby. The bar often organises all kinds of events such as quiz nights, which always have a different theme like Star Wars, video games, anime, etc. Each group has to pay an entrance fee, but the winners get coupons, and the whole game is much fun.
Barcraft 2
- 59. Bajcsy Zsilinszky Road
- (1) 406 2201
- Monday –Friday: from 2 p.m. to 12 a.m.
- Saturday – Sunday: from 12 a.m. to 12 a.m.
In Barcraft 2, board games can be rented throughout the whole day. It costs HUF 500, and your ID stays with the bartenders until you are finished playing. After you finished one game, you can put it back and get another one. You can play with as many games you would like.
