6tus

26 Nagy Diofa Utca
Pest Centre, VII, Astoria (M2), 5min

This quirky little bar with friendly staff is popular with long-term expats and also sports its fair share of Hungarians. 6tus is popular for its relaxed everyone-knows-your-name atmosphere. For some, it's more like home than a bar.

The first room is small – you sometimes have to fight your way in through the door – with a few stools, but most people choose to stand, drifting between people and conversations. In the back, a larger room contains five or six tables.

There's just one beer on tap (Dreher) and a small choice of spirits, and the fridge is no different from the one in your kitchen at home.

Decor is bright and original, with local artist, Marcus Higson contributing most of the artwork - you may well see a few of the subjects knocking around in the bar - while the music is almost too quiet to notice. The root of the atmosphere is the staff, who are not so much working as maintaining a community.
