What reviewers say

Visitors praise the friendly staff, particularly a Russian-speaking bartender, and the well-priced drinks, finding it a good place to meet likeminded people and start the night. However, some reviewers note the venue is run-down and not very clean, with one mentioning an unpleasant smell upon entry and difficulties with communication due to language barriers.

About this place Action Bar

Action Bar was a notable gay venue located in Budapest's Magyar utca, housed in a basement space with distinctive architectural features including vaulted ceilings and stone walls. The narrow corridors and underground setting created an intimate atmosphere characteristic of Budapest's gay bar scene. The venue hosted live shows, adding to its appeal as an entertainment destination for gay men in the city. Budapest has a vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife scene with various bars and clubs catering to gay travellers and locals. While Action Bar is no longer in operation, the city continues to offer venues where you can experience live performances, meet other visitors, and enjoy the local gay culture. If you're planning a trip to Budapest, we recommend checking current local listings and LGBTQ+ travel resources for active venues. The city's gay bar and club scene evolves regularly, and local LGBTQ+ community groups and tourism websites can provide up-to-date recommendations for where to spend your evenings out.

Wow, I thought your olfactory cells get used to the vomit smell that slaps you as you enter, but it didn't happen even after one drink. The crew is weird, mostly older, the dancer not very pleasant to look at either. The place didn't looks very clean, so I didn't even dare to check out the cruising area. Sorry! This place needs a complete makeover! Go to the Coxx club instead, which cannot be compared to this bar.

The bartender who speaks Russian is very nice and told us which night's were popular at what bars. The drinks are average and fairly priced. There is a cruising area that wasn't busy on any of the nights that we went, but dark rooms aren't necessarily my thing. What I loved most about this bar was the people that I met. Most were tourists like me and because the scene is so small in Budapest... we ran into them repeatedly throughout our stay and that was very comforting... like being at home with your friends. More than any other bar in Budapest, this place made connections happen.
