Visited on 04.07.25. Three industrial lagers and one craft IPA from Horizont on tap at my visit. Also a fridge with canned craft brews, including from Horizont. Painted red and black indoors, with murals of communist leaders. The other customers were speaking English and shouting French at my visit. Not very big. Seating indoor and outdoor on the pavement. Friendly English-speaking service. Cool place to visit once for novelty, but not a beer destination.

Visited on a hot summer’s day 03.07.25. Outdoor seating protected from the sun and any rain as well as indoor seating. More seating upstairs. 18 interesting and well-selected beers on tap from Hungarian micros. Also a good can selection in fridges. The outdoor seating is next to one of the busier thoroughfares through the city, so there is a bit of traffic noise outdoors. Friendly service. Recommended.

Visited on a warm summer’s day 03.07.25. To get there, one could either take the M2 Metro to Òrs vezér tere and then bus 85E, or take a tram to Élassarok and take a bus or walk from there. The picture attached to this rating i of the map of the metro/tram/bus station Òrs vezér tere.

The brewpub is located in a slightly derelict industrial area on the brink to regeneration. Across the road is a large, closed-down brewery of yesteryear. HopTop had eight of their own beers on tap at my visit, and the menu consisted of burgers and various snacks and lighter meals. I had a very tasty pastrami burger. Indoor and outdoor seating, but no proper shade for the evening sun at the outdoor seating. Friendly and efficient English speaking service.
