I remember the
first days when Czech import beers started trickling into Hungary- a friend of
a friend told us they would be having an event at the Czech Centre where they might be having
beers other than Pilsner Urquell. This propelled us into a frenzy, as little
did we know that in a few years’ time Budapest would become pretty much the
praguest city that is not Prague.
These days there
is a Czech beer joint at every second corner in the central quarters, with a
mindbending range of awesome (and cheap- that’s a hint to you, Belgians) beers,
usually accompanied by some hearthy Central European food.
Jaromir is the
one closest to where I live, resulting in the natural fact that I’ve never been
there. I have however successfully navigated my way to their summer garden, which is tucked away in the back yard
of one of my university’s dorms on Ajtósi Dürer sor, right across the
Városliget. The place has that old
school charm that many establishments in the area, such as Pántlika and Kertem,
tend to have: good food and drinks, friendly and laid back atmosphere and not
so many loud tourists gurgling local beer.
