In the last decade, a nightlife quarter has been established in the tenement houses of Budapest?s 7th district that used to be emptied out. Whether ruin pubs or pseudo-ruin pubs opened, in the atmosphere of drink specials, painted brick and old furniture, no one had anything to say about the space that used to be the center of the Budapest?s orthodox Jewish community.
