Szimpla, Ruin pub in Jewish Quarter, Budapest, Hungary
The multi-level building contains numerous rooms filled with antique furniture, suspended bicycles, vintage televisions, and industrial artifacts arranged in unexpected configurations.
The establishment opened in 2002 as a casual drinking space before moving to its current location in 2004, occupying a former stove factory at Kazinczy Street 14.
The venue operates as a community center with regular film screenings, art exhibitions, live concerts, and a weekly farmers market selling local Hungarian produce.
The pub welcomes guests Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 4 AM, Saturday from noon to 4 AM, and Sunday from 9 AM to 4 AM.
Each room presents different decorative themes, from a former Trabant car converted into seating to walls covered in computer parts and Soviet-era memorabilia.
