District VI, Terezvaros, runs along Andrassy Avenue and the café square of Liszt Ferenc ter. It carries Budapest's grander side, with rooftop bars and serious cocktail rooms set among theatres and old apartment blocks. The list below covers the rooms our editors return to, from the city's leading cocktail bar to a rooftop above Andrassy. Compare them with our best rooftop bars in Budapest and the full Budapest bar guide.
