It is a part of a complex with Instant Bar, where there are chances for bigger events, too. Robot is one of the last real rock clubs in the city, actually.” – The Trousers

“The Buda side is not that sleepy. Most of our band members are living there, and we gotta tell you, its a great place to hang around. Hadik cafe is a legendary place which was the meeting place for Hungarian writers in the 1920s. Good food, good coffee, good karma.” – Ivan & the Parazol

“‘Központ’ in Hungarian means the center. It is in the center of the city (Madách square, near Deák square) which is the center of parties and meetings, or you can have just a cup of coffee after a long day. Also, we had a few afterparties there, cause Akvárium club is quite close.” – Ivan & the Parazol
