Barba Negra

The perfect venue, relaxed atmosphere and great food. The public transpo was impeccable! We were travelling form the city center of Budapest. But if going by car here was a huge parking lot next to the venue.

Arrived to see Dubioza Kolektiv about 10 minutes before they went on, and got in line for a drink. Over an hour into the show and we were still in line. Finally got warm beers. One of the worst managed bar and venues I've ever seen. (And I've also been managing venues.) Had to be careful which drinks we ordered, after seeing fully open bottles at the outdoor bar (not wanting to drink bugs, thank you). It's a shame that the venue could be making so much more money on drinks. Unless I can bring my own drinks in in the future, I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend going there. Save your money for tickets at a better venue.

This is a badass club! I recently visited here while on vacation from the US. The sound system was excellent, and the concert we attended was on the indoor stage. Outside, there were seats and tables, and the large outdoor stage looked amazing. I'd love to come back and see some of the other shows they had listed. The bathroom was large with plenty of room for both urinals and stalls. There were lots of drink options at the bar. This venue is highly recommended, and I wish we had a place like this back home!

Ain't nothing like a no muss no fuss venue in the industrial area of a capital; the entrance is right next to the stage, plenty of kiosks to get a beer and the price wasn't the worst either. Could use a bit more ambiance but it's alright

Very good atmosphere, excellent organization of the concert. Everything is relaxed and very friendly, as it should be at any concert.

Really impressed with how good organisation was. The line was long, but it didn't take long to enter. Line was constantly moving at slow pace. Staff is super chill and friendly. There was a bit of communication problem when we were ordering drinks, but barmen was super cool about it. He lined us bottles of drinks so we can point out to him what we want. I was there for the In Flames. It was great show. Soilwork was really good though the vocals could be louder. Arch Enemy is so amazing live, and In Flames was absolutely amazing. Stage security was super friendly and professional. I was crowdfunding two times, and during first time my phone dropped out of my pocket. Second time when security guy took me down I asked if he saw my phone and he actually did saw it, picked it up and put it aside and gave it to me at that point. So I reclaimed my phone mid show. Just amazing. I will definitely go there again!

Mr. Big last night had an amazing concert on the Red stage and this place in Budapest will have many great concerts in future. So if you like rock and metal this is the place for you to check out once in Budapest, who knows maybe you will be lucky and some great gig will be there.

Currently been stuck in the drink line for over an hour while Fontaines D.C. is already playing — the whole reason we came. Absolutely ridiculous. One bar, barely staffed, and hundreds of people left waiting with no communication, no queue management, and no urgency. This isn’t a tiny local gig — it’s a major act and a major venue. If you’re going to host world-class bands, maybe run the bar like it’s not your first rodeo? Or at least act like you want people to enjoy themselves. Right now, it’s just missed music and mounting frustration. The vibes: gone. The drinks: still waiting. The show: already finished.
