Comment by David, who visited in June 2005: I have been there many times and find the staff unfriendly. The minimum consumption is unfair early evening when there is no one there.
- Comment by David who visited in August 2005: Best ever pole dancing strippers! Gorgeous guys with full hard-ons and the last act. Two guys suck each other off and guy cums on stage! Wow! Very nice bar staff and friendly crowd.
- Comment by Roger who visited in August 2005: Quite hard to find with a very discreet door. However, a busy bar with a busy cruising area and darkroom and this seemed to be the situation all week, not only at the weekends, which I appreciated. Strip shows as well by really cute guys. Well worth a visit.
- Comment by Alfredo who visited in August 2005: I went in the evening. Might want to mention that it now has a rainbow flag on the door with A over it. Small place, didn't wander to the back room area. Good looking guys there! More of a levis/leather crowd. Definitely for those that are seeking men!
- Comment by David who visited in September 2005: On my last visit to Action Bar I got hauled up on stage to join in one of the acts. It was very enjoyable. Got to pull the performers thong off and had a nice feel! He was so firm! Can't guarantee it for any other visitors in the future, but if they stand between to the dressing room door and where the performers leave the stage it might happen.
- Comment by Paul who visited in February 2006: Small Bar with shows. Very good looking blokes stripping off and playing. However, there was no stroking or sucking or coming. More of a go go boys show. Very cruisy in the backroom, however people seemed to leave to go to Coxx after the strip show.
- Comment by Luke who visited in April 2006: A bit dark but very friendly with strippers who could dance and had very nice bodies which we saw lots of. One dancer however was a bit cheesy topping it off with a bow tie around his cock and a cowboy hat. The show was about one hour long and culminated with two dancers on stage together... all rather nice.
- Comment by Dave who visited in April 2006: Great bar a must for any guy looking for fun and action after 12 midnight.
- Comment by Roy who visited in July 2006: Hard to find. Once you find it loads of action inside. Strippers are kind of cute. However staff is incredibly rude.
- Comment by Alex who visited in July 2006: Nice place to hang out. I hooked up with an escort upon leaving the place. He was outside. We went to my room and I had a great time with this guy. I wished I remembered his name. He is thin, good looking impeccable English.
- Comment by Barak who visited in November 2006: In generally it's a nice place and the people are friendly and some are very easy to get into conversation with. but the bartenders were disregarding in a strange way from me and from the other tourists.
- Comment by Murat who visited in November 2006: I am from Turkey. A bit difficult place to find but managed after a few minutes. Went there with some gay friends, nice and sometimes a bit crowdy place. I really enjoyed it - many guys, kissing, licking and sucking - very hot and nasty. I recommend to others to visit at least once when they are in Budapest. I have been 7 times and for sure will visit again. Some nice big cocks. For the ones who likes them.
- Comment by Nicolas who visited in December 2006: Probably the best gay place in Budapest, comparing with others. They have live show every friday and strip show every day. The strip shows I saw on Saturday and Sunday were quite good, with well hung & equipped guys. There were some rentboys also, but nothing excellent.
- Comment by Ralph who visited in January 2007: On a Wednesday evening between 10:30 and 11 the place had about 6 people there. No go-go dancing. Was approaced by 2 rentboys. They were nice enough but not my thing. Staff was courteous.
- Comment by Gerard who visited in January 2007: Great place, once you find it. Don't let the dark neighborhood intimdate you. Many parts of Budapest are dark at night but the city is safe. Good looking dancers and friendly patrons. The staff, which I didn't find unfriendly, are in their own world with their own favorite customers. I went with my boyfriend and we had a blast. It just took some time to find, that's all.
- Comment by Frank who visited in February 2007: I know this place for 10 years now. It s my favourite neighborhood bar. Every night is congregating another crowd. It s fairly easy to make friends there. Staff is very friendly and speaks English and German. Here you can find a friend for an hour a day- or like me-for life.
- Comment by Gary who visited in March 2007: Visited this bar on 12th and 13th March 2007. On Monday and Tuesday nights we were not expecting the place to be busy and we were not disappointed. Rent boys in the place both nights, especially Tuesday. If you want to pay for sex this is your place. The place is hard to find and if a car is parked in front of the door then even harder to find! On the plus side the music was good, didnt find the bar staff rude and at 500 HUF a throw the beer was cheap.
- Comment by James who visited in April 2007: Let's be serious guys. If you have traveled anywhere in Europe or the States you'll recognize this place for the provincial backwater it is. The service is lacking, the show is laughable and the sexual energy in the place rates a 3 out of 10. As shabby as the rest of Budapest.
- Comment by Armend who visited in July 2007: One of the best gay places I visited. One of the best shows especially the hot action. I like it, for sure I recommend to people to visit it. Very cute Hungarian boys with big tools. You know what I mean.
- Comment by Paris who visited in August 2007: Great place to go and get drunk and watch all the sexy strippers showing it off! Before going to big disco! Ilove the action bar!
- Comment by Jules who visited in September 2007: There is an 'A' and a rainbow flag on the door now so pretty easy to find. Very quiet on a rainy Monday night but I bet this place rocks at the weekend! The 1600 HUF minimum consumption is 3 beers.
- Comment by Pascal who visited in September 2007: A really unfriendly bar. Quite a lot of rent, and a tourist trap. The minimum consumption is 1600 HUF which is a rip off. Most people drop in have one drink and leave.
- Comment by Ronald who visited in October 2007: Nice place but full off escort boys, have to be very carefull, but nice atmosphere the escorts are too insistant with agreement from tenders.
- Comment by Vlad who visited in October 2007: Not such a young crowd even if it was full on a Saturday night.
- Luis wrote in January 2008: Action Bar is kind of large, not expensive, and interesting in its layout. The crowd could be divided mostly between old men and rent boys. A nice gogo boy was dancing, but most people were too busy cruising and looking for rent boys to play with.
- Glem wrote in March 2008: Action bar was full of old men. Don't bother with it. Go straight to Coxx.
- Tommy wrote in April 2008: Action bar Budapest is a cruising bar! So escort boys are a must! They dont bite and will not bother you. 1600 HUF equals 3 beers. So if you dont have money for 3 drinks, please stay at home.
- Paul wrote in June 2008: Was there in May 2008. I found the 2 bar staff to be very unfriendly and in my opinion not worth the visit.
- Tom wrote in August 2008: July 2008 was busy on Friday night. Lots of hot, well equipped men. Only one rent boy, who was not pushy. Had a great time.
- Keith wrote in August 2008: Not really worth visiting on the day we went (Sunday), but perhaps that's the off night. Yes, bar staff and especially bouncer are sullen. Can't see why they think this does them any favors. It's not, unlike what some people say, difficult to find. I think you'd have to be pretty blind not to find it. The go-go boy was okay, but not much to write home about if you've traveled to big gay cities, and okay he gets naked, but if he's not that cute to begin with, getting naked is not going to make the sale for me. Patrons a rather grim, average-looking, mostly older crowd.
- Roy wrote in October 2008: One stripper each night at midnight. On friday, the sex show was fantastic. They sucked each other and then one fucked the other till they both shot off. Club is very small, but the rentboys were good. Try to meet Joseph, a Hungarian porn star. He was very good.
- Mark wrote in December 2008: Action Bar was not really what I expected. I kept reading how it is busy on weekends and so I go in on a Saturday night, about 1 am, and there are about 8 people just standing around. This so called '2nd show at 2am' did NOT happen and it was very dead. Now this is winter time but still it was a Saturday night in a city of 2 million and there were very few people. Lots of older people. I think they thought I was an escort since I was the only one in their 20's sitting at the bar having a drink so I avoided direct eye contact with them. So they didnt get the wrong idea. Maybe people in Budapest dont go out in the cold. I guess if you are really desperate for sex there are some people who will wink at you or make obvious cruising signs to you so that you will follow them into the backroom. But dudes from the looks of it those winkers I think big time STD guys. Nasty types.
- Mark wrote in December 2008: Went on a Friday night. The doorman asked for 750 HUF and gave me a consumption card. Went to the bar had a few drinks. Bartender named Micky was very nice. Show time was 00:35. First a stripper with hard on followed by a live sex show, sucking and fucking, all performers very attractive. Lasted about a half hour. I went back to the dark room well lit and not scary. I saw many rent boys there but was not approached once or harassed in any way. Went back to the bar asked for a pack of smokes and to please pay my bill. 3 beers a pack of smokes and the show cost me about 2800 HUF (less then 14 US Dollars). Presented my stamped consumption card to the doorman and said goodnight. He got this confused look on his face and then smiled and said thank you. I think after reading everyone's response who said the staff was rude, it might just be a bit of a language barrier. I had a nice time. BTW the easiest way to find it is get off at Kalvan Square. Look for the Hotel with the Bridge crossing the street. Walk under the bridge and turn right walk about a hundred yards on your right.
- John wrote in April 2009: Visited April 2009. Good strip shows and great live-sex show on a Friday night. Show starts around 1:00am. Easy to find. There's an A on the door and a rainbow flag, with the door kept slightly ajar. Gets busy around midnight. Diverse crowd; young, old, hot and not so hot, with a very large and action packed backroom that gets very busy after the shows. Didn't notice many rent boys. Fun place. Well worth a visit.
- Daniel wrote in May 2009: I visited Action Bar in Budapest in April 2009. The live show on a Friday night was memorable. It wasn't as grand as Bangkok (with only 4 boys rather than 50 boys), but it was more sensual, and it went even further than in Bangkok! There were 2 individual strip shows, and a final live sex show. The 2 guys were gorgeous, and they kissed, sucked, fucked, cumed and swallowed on stage. It was very erotic, artistic and memorable. Entry was 800 HUF, minimal consumption was 1000 HUF. I will go back to to Budapest just to see the show again.
- George wrote in June 2009: Visited action bar on a Friday of June 2009. Easy to find near Kalvin Ter metro station. The place is rather small and old, with many not important rent boys but their live show is awesome. It starts on 0.45 every Friday and lasts half an hour, with a male stripper in the beginning and an extremely hot couple, doing everything from sucking till hard fuck. It is the best live show I have ever seen. I plan to travel again in Budapest to see it again.
- George wrote in July 2009: Visited Action Bar on a Thursday night. Dead. On Friday night however, the live sex show was pretty good. Hot stud getting blown and fucking this nice bottom. He finished in the bottom's mouth.
- Tommy wrote in August 2009: I have had the pleasure of visting the action bar since January 2005 twice a year & look forward to my return again in December of this year, oh yeah. The staff & patrons are indeed outstanding. The weekend is the best time for the hotest shows, oh yeah.
- Roy wrote in August 2009: I visited the Action Bar in June 2009. They only had strippers and live sex show on Friday night. It was very good, though. Friday night was very crowded, but I went back on Saturday night and it was slow. Maybe 100 people on Friday and then only about 20 on Saturday. I was also there on Thursday and there was about 20 people. There did not seem to be as many rentboys as there was last year.
- Thomas wrote in August 2009: Open every day but busy only on Fridays [strip show]. On Sat and rest of the week usually 10 to 15 people in one night! I did not meet there any nice guy [none]. I have been there 7 times and in tourist season. Lots of ugly or old men, sorry lads. Budapest is a very nice city. I have never seen so many cute, hunks, good looking guys like in Budapest, but only on streets unfortunately [Hungarian firefighters and policemen are amazing :)]. But in gay pubs - shame. Prices in Action bar are reasonable, minimum consumption 1000 HUF, entrance fee only on Fridays.
- Trevor wrote in January 2010: I have visited about 9 times and have found it enjoyable. Bar staff are friendly as i have got to know them over the last 3 years. Celebrated my birthdays there twice. I go with my Budapest boyfriend who apart from being a real spunk helps with the language barrier. Shows on Friday nights are great and the new toilets and dark rooms are a great meeting place.
- Arthur wrote in October 2009: Visiyed October 2009. Been there at a Friday night and the bar was quite crowded due to the live sex show. Show starts at 1 am and as soon as lights are off the bars gets empty again. The actors seem to be more or less bored while performing, so the best part of the show was the music. They are now charging the minumum consumption of 800 HUF when entering the bar and I have learnt that the unfriendly staff did not reduce that amount from the final invoice. As usual in case of problems nobody is able to communicate in a foreign language.
Honestly there is no good reason to go there, one of the most unfriendly gay places I have ever been in Eastern Europe.
- George wrote in November 2009: Nice, clean.
- Arthur wrote in February 2010: Once again Tommy and I have just returned from
the Action bar. Spent another 3 weeks in Budapest during december and really enjoyed a
great christmas eve party. The owner was outstanding star of the evening, the staff
went out of their way to make everyone feel at home. A place to be visited by all. Peace.

Comment by Flemming who visited in June 2006: A bar and not a cafe. Only for gays. The atmosphere is very good and the owners are two really kind and funny guys. We met most local guys when we went there. We can highly recommend the place.
- Comment by Laci who visited in February 2007: Nice place, bar and disco and the crowd is totally local. Does not look like the place to really meet people, although maybe no luck for me and my friend. Minimal consumption 1000 HUF, and extra 200 HUF for the cloakroom if visited in winter.
- Comment by Stuart who visited in May 2007: A nice gay bar with a club downstairs. It attracts local guys although when I was there it was never too busy. If you are after a friendly drink I highly recommend this place as the owner is very helpfull (and funny). It can be a hard place to find and you need to press the bell for entry. They take Euros.
- Comment by Sebastian who visited in June 2007: Very nice place with dimn light and a nice dancefloor in the basement. Lovely owner and his boyfriend where joking and talking all night as we were there. On weekends probably a good dance location (with pop and house music). During the week just bar and chatting. Nice boys and a few man. In general a great location especially when the owners are in a good mood! No darkroom. Clean toilets.
- Comment by AJ who visited in August 2007: I think this is the best little bar in Budapest. Was pretty quiet when i went there, but was chatting with a few people after introduction from the guy behind the bar, who is very handsome by the way ;-)

Comment by Albert who visited in June 2005: Probably one of the nicest places in Budapest to visit. It is clean and friendly. Even the back room is immaculate and nice. Nice international crowd.
- Comment by Roger who visited in August 2005: A stylish cruising bar. Tbe bar staff were very friendly and I found other guys around the bar very sociable and easy to get in a conversation with. Good music with a dancing area available as well which some guys took advantage of. A large cruisng area/darkroom that was equiped for all tastes. However, the area seemed to underused and I saw absolutely no activity at all. People also seemed to leave early around 1 am making their way to other venues. Minumum consumption was 2000 HUF.
- Comment by Ron who visited in January 2006: A large tunnel, catering to leather/jeans type of crowd. It has a very big dark room and lots of action in the tunnels. As everywhere in Budapest the guys are hot.
- Comment by Paul who visited in February 2006: Quite a nice, comfy and stylish bar. Good music. On the right when u enter there is lots of hardcore action. Through the door, sleazy room, toilet simulation.
- Comment by Eric & Mike who visited in February 2007: This was one of the more popular places we visited on our trip. We had lots of fun and went back each night. There is a good crowd and the first night we were there everyone was quite cute. More older folks arrived later. They changed the minimum consumption to 1200 HUF and 200 coat check. Good beer and cheap drinks. There could be a couple of rent boys but some were nice to talk to without being threatening or applying pressure or being rude. Had fun with other international guests.
- Comment by who visited in March 2007: Great place, had good action. But be aware: A gipsy guy wanted money and sex with me. When I said no, he attacked me in the street afterwards, but I ran faster than him. He was approx 1,75 height, a bit fat, nice face. He is dangerous! Not the fault of CoXx, but he should be refused access to this good place.
- Comment by Gary who visited in March 2007: Good bar. Prices higher than Action bar but minimum consumption is only 1000 HUF (couple of large beers). Good international crowd and unlike Action bar no rent boys around to demand money for a blow job on the night we visited! Lots of cruising little action though.
- Comment by Joe who visited in March 2007: The serving bar and seating near it are very nice, upscale look with lots of exposed brick. Beer was okay and cost the equivalent of about $3 for a large mug. The action rooms were clean and large, but there really was not a lot going on. This was my second trip to Hungary, and my impression has not changed. Lots of guys hanging around, but little happening. Also, if you enjoy kissing, that seems to be the biggest taboo in all of Budapest. It is amazing to observe how guys react when one tries to kiss another. They freeze up and pull away - no jeers about it being me, this was true all around. It becomes almost humorous to watch. Personalities seem very cold. Choose a latin location for your gaycation.
- Comment by Stuart who visited in May 2007: I don't do the darkrooms but it has a good bar where l met some nice local guys.
- Comment by Greg who visited in May 2007: Visited Coxx a number of times on my trip and had a great time there. The staff were very friendly and the darkroom was hot! Had plenty. Could have been planned better for more sex.
- Comment by Nigel who visited in July 2007: Went to CoXx on the last night of my stay, a Sunday. No entry fee, you get a bar tab & drinks are not too expensive, 1000 HUF for a bottle of Becks. Nice bar with some cute guys chatting, and then I found the dark room which is extensive and where there was plenty of action. No poppers for sale. Altogether a fun place.
- Comment by John who visited in August 2007: I visited the Coxx Club during a recent Business trip to Budapest because of the description on this site. It was a nightmare. After walking half way down their stairs I could see that the place was empty except for two employees, so I gave a wave and went back up. As soon as I was on the sidewalk the guy who had been behind the bar and a security guard were right behind me at the entrance. The barman demanded a white slip of paper. I told him I did not know what he was talking about as I only looked inside. He demanded again this paper and said it was the property of the business and he must have it back. I realized it was some kind of pay card for drinks and that he knew I was not given one, and that he was trying to get money out of me so with a wave I turned to walk away. He lurched at me to grab my wallet and I turned back to face him. I gave him a hard shove away. He was about 5 feet 10 inches and real skinny. I walked away and he followed. I do not know why the security guy or no one else followed. Maybe they were short staffed but it would be fortunate for me. At a main road I tried to get a taxi but he stuck his head in the taxi and frantically spoke to the driver in Hungarian. I decided not to risk being taking back to the bar and the freak started screaming at me for the white strip of paper from the bar and that I was stealing. I was not embarrased as there where not to many people around and they either giggled or looked in disgust. When I tried to get directions from two workmen he again spoke frantically to them. Although I looked like a normal tourist my association with such a lunatic made them walk on without helping. I told him to just wait until we get to my hotel, that security would know what to do with him. He said he would talk with them and the police. I was staying at a five star hotel and knew they would believe me over him. Our looks, dress, mannerisms, and tone of voice were complete opposites. He again pleaded for this piece of paper and said how important it was. I almost believed that he believed that he had given it to me. Then I realized that he was a pathological liar. I decided not to speak to him anymore. He tried to give me a rise by asking if I was on drugs, why other Americans were nice and what was my problem, and even asked if I was upset because of a small penis. I have read about bad incidents coming from such gay bars in East Europe as well as straight friends telling of getting taken advantage of or marched to a money machine after going into a straight strip club. All I had done was have a look in the door. Had there been more guys I would have really been in trouble and would have had to of paid out. About one block from my hotel he peeled away to my relief and said he would call the police if I came in his bar again. Had he followed me into my hotel lobby I would have told the doorman to get security as I waited outside. I did not want to cause a scene. They would have believed me because the guy was so strange. Also it was a nice hotel and I was on business with a big and important company. Maybe it would have been different at a hostel or cheap hotel. Anyways, security would have thrown him out or called the police if necessary. This would have brought attention to his bar. The worst to happen to me would have been the gossip amongst the hotel employees. I won but he ruined my night. I just shows what you can expect from going to such places at the wrong time. Had I gone when it was busy and stayed, I might have enjoyed myself and spent lots of money. Around a lot of people he may be friendly as he looks for a tip but I saw this guys true nature. He followed me for about 45 minutes. I stayed calm the whole time so he would know he could not unnearve me. It is best to not pay out to such pathetic people unless you are confronted with a weapon or there are at least three guys.
- Comment by Jules who visited in September 2007: A really nice bar, pretty busy on a Saturday, quieter in the week. Friendly staff and popular large dark room area.
- Comment by Pascal who visited in September 2007: Well run, friendly and proper bar. I would definitely recommend. Prices are fair and people seemed genuine.
- Comment by Vlad who visited in October 2007:So far, the best in Budapest. A nice and
goodlooking crowd, young also, perfect for easy cocksucking or fucking in the cruising area.
- Noel wrote in January 2008: I visited here over new years holiday. Easy to find. It has a red-black circled logo outside. The bar itself is cosy and cruisy. The guyz were 30plus when i was here. I prefer twinks, skaters and students. I also went to Magnum sauna in search of action, but it was full of fat old men, but only one twink which i had action with breifly in the steam room! Then I left as not many young attend here apparently according to staff.
- Carl wrote in January 2008: DO NOT GO TO COXX. The owner and management is corrupt! The account i just read seems very accurate. Yes, the place looks attractive, but the manager is devious. I drank too much here, and mistakenly wandered into the dark room. Next thing I know somebody is hitting me and the manager is screaming that i hadn't paid (you don't pay until the end, with the white slip of paper). The manager's henchman beat me up and dragged me upstairs where the police were waiting for me. The manager accused me of stealing, calling me dirty names and trying to imply that I was a filthy immoral drug addict for even going into the back room. Beware this manager-owner is a liar and a thief. He will try to rip you off. He uses the dark room to steal from you. The employees are also two-faced. The coat check stole my scarf and my wine that i had brought. The police wouldn't help. Gay people are frowned upon in this country even by other gays, like the manager. This is not a gay community friendly place. It is a tourist trap. Furthermore, i should have learned from the last time i came here a year ago. When i took more than one of the free magazines on the counter after the staff person said it was okay. The manager had called me a gypsy thief. I told him he was racist and he replied that indeed he was. Do not go here. It really should be closed down and the manager-owner put out of business. Before all this happened, i had talked with other customers in the bar, and they agreed that the manager-owner was very unfriendly and rude. I recommend that others join me in boycotting this venue.
- Glen wrote in March 2008: Coxx is a lovely bar with friendly staff and hot men. The cruising and sex area is well set out and I had lots of fun in there ;) Highly recommended.
- Harry wrote in May 2008: Visited May 2008. Central location, easy to find. Drink minimum was 1100 HUF, which was easy enough to meet. Don't assume what a drink is worth. While a beer was 600 HUF, a shot of Jager was 1800 and a shot of Drambuie was 2900! Very friendly staff to make you feel comfortable, and a large cruising area in the back with just the right vibe. Friday night was slow to get started, but picked up around 1am.
- Harry wrote in May 2008: I stayed 4 days in Budapest and enjoyed each night at CoXx. I really had a good time and sooooo much of hot sex! This club I really can recommend! Good music, normal prices and friendly staff as well. Definitively, I will return soon.
- Tony wrote in August 2008: The best drinking & cruising bar in the city. We ended up there most nights and had a good time. Staff very friendly. Enjoy.
- Alex wrote in November 2008: I visited Coxx in November 2008 on the 'cocksucking party'. It was busy and full of locals. Very cruisy. I had great time with nice hungarian boys. Very recomendable. They dont accept credit card or Euros, just HUF, but its worth it.
- James wrote in December 2008: The unfortunate incident which takes up so much of this entry gives the wrong impression. I was there in February 08 and about to go back. The people are nice and friendly, and the 'naked party' i went to was great. They don't demand nudity but most people are.
- Jim wrote in July 2009: Was there in June 2009. Fun place, friendly staff, nice crowd, weekends very busy during the week is good also. worth stopping by.
- Thomas wrote in August 2009: This is one of the worst pubs I have ever visited. This is not bears or old men pub but I was the youngest guest there [I am 29 yo]. Visited 3 times and every day the same, quite busy but not for me. Drink prices are higher than in London.
- Pepe wrote in September 2009: Visited in October 2007. This place was weird, no people in there. It was quite empty and the fee was very unfair. The personal (barman) was rude for us. We are Spanish and he was saying like u come here because u want sex. Or something like that. I could not understand.
- Wolfgang wrote in October 2009: Visited in October 2009. It happened to be 'Military Cruising' theme night that day. Some lads wearing leather and camouflage, majority dressed up in jeans and t-shirts. Pretty much crowded that night. Entrance fee and/or minimum consumption 1300 HUF, prices at the top notch for Budapest (Heineken 800 HUF), but I think it is worth going there. Friendly and attentive staff.
- Paul wrote in November 2009: Visited October 2009. Very pleasant very well run bar. The staff and the locals were very frendly. I visited on several occasions and all the nights were consistent. The music was good and never too loud, service prompt and friendly, the dark areas easy to negotiate and people behaved sensibly and safely. A good mix of ages as well. I'm looking forward to going back.

Stephen wrote in July 2009: I visited the Funny Carrot one Sunday night. The bar man was welcoming and charming. He introduced us to other tourists in the bar. The place is small with a warm, cosy atmosphere. There were rent boys in attendance, but once you get past this and have a few beers, a good time is guaranteed.
- Comment by Joel who wrote in August 2009: The Funny Carrot was just wonderful. By the time we arrived, we had already had a few Palinka's. But the decor was beautiful and the staff and clientel were just so friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone.
- Comment by Brett who wrote in November 2009: Visited November 09. Absolutely adorable. The owner, Louis aka Lola, was hilarious and showed us a good time. The guys in the bar were nice and welcoming. It is not a cruising bar; definitely more of a friendly, community atmosphere.
- Comment by Jim who wrote in March 2010: Visited Funny Carrot in November 2009. This bar is full of roma gypsy hustlers. I have no problem with that but it's not my thing and the persistence became wearying. I was also in the unusual position of having three hustlers (one at my table, one at the bar, and one on the way back from the toilets) warn me off the other ones. They were young guys and I prefer guys in their thirties so to lighten the situation I told them thanks but I prefer older guys. One returned with a very overweight roma man in his fifties. Next I had about six around my table. I left and went to Action and was followed there and left there and returned to Habrolo Cafe which is next door and I was followed in there. I kept repeating I would not pay for their services. Then one started crying and begging me for money getting down on his knees on the floor to perform on me in the bar. I left and was followed on to the street. Although my hotel was two minutes away there were a few moments when I wasn't sure if I wiould get there with my cash in my pocket.
