"For just as Paris dictates Europe’s fashion, so is the capital’s fashion dictated by Corvin, and it does so with a master’s hand."
(Pesti Hírlap Képes Naptára, 1930)

The uppermost floor of Corvin department store (opened as the ‘Duna’ unit of the Állami Áruházak, the state owned chain of department stores in 1926 after the war, later renamed Centrum Corvin Áruház) and the huge rooftop terrace above is a significant location of the Budapest underground club scene of today.

In former times the children of the workers of the late department store spent their kindergarten years on the 4th floor. Today the bar, lounge, club – whatever you like to call it – flooded by red light has become an important scene of music, entertainment and culture in the capital. Day by day the visiting audience is entertained by Hungarian and foreign artists, concerts, parties, world music and electroclash, jazz and drum’n’bass, reggae and 4/4, exhibitions and theater plays.

The 30-meter bar offers practically everything one can thirst for during partying. Spirits and long drinks, bitters and sweet drinks, beers and wines; and at the cocktail bar (right next to the DJ stand) the professional mixer boys and girls are ready to prepare any drink you desire.

Those who would like only to have a talk or to invite their friends for a private party can relax in a more quiet environment at the other bar, or in the comfortable easy chairs of the saloon, the so called Lounge Cocktail Bar.

From spring till autumn the 600sqm rooftop terrace above the club is also open. Here you can enjoy the special mood brought forth by the blue sky above and the prospect over the city below. A nice sunrise is always a worthy ending for a night out.

All your friends are already here!
