Hungarian beer is acceptable if it's cold. Borsodi is your best option on draught, otherwise Austrian and German brews are widely available. No one clinks their beer glasses, though. Beers are chased with shots of Unicum, a robust herb liqueur - or p linka, fruit brandy. The latter comes in several fiery varieties.
Prices vary wildly.
The boroz clientele can get shitfaced for a handful of coins. Beer drinkers will be paying around Ft200-Ft300 for their pint. Pubs appealing to Budapest's expatriate community will happily charge double that. The area around the south end of V ci utca is decent for pub crawling, with an assortment of bars in its waterfront backstreets. The patch around Oktogon and the Opera offers a more refined crawl, with Liszt t r as teeming summer drinking central.
