Nicht reingehen. Dangerous!!!!!!!
Im Nirvana Club in Budapest habe ich erstmals in meinem Leben Nötigung, Korruption und Abzocke erlebt. Beim Bezahlen meines 2dl Colas, bekam ich eine Rechnung die 19mal einem normalen Preis in einem solchen Lokal entsprach. Auf der Rechnung wurde das Trinkgeld sogar auch noch gleich addiert! Für die 2dl habe ich um CHF 118 bezahlt!!!! Sowas habe ich noch nie erlebt. Als ich mich beschwert hatte, nahm mich der Kellner in einen Raum nähe des Ausgang. Er bat mich, mir das Portemonnai zu zeigen, er sah meine Euronote die ich ihm nicht geben wollte. Ich wollte plötzlich nur noch raus, da am Eingang gleich zwei Bodyguards wachten und mich mit grösster Sicherheit nicht rausgelassen hätten. Ich bezahlte, wollte eine Quittung, gab den Zettel retour, er wurde aber auch nicht ordnunggemäss Quitiert. Auch die Polizei, um 23.30 Uhr waren plötzlich ca. 8 Leute um mich rum, fragten mich, was Sie denn machen sollten als ich Ihnen den Fall schilderten. Anscheinend war Ihnen der Laden mit seinen Machenschaften schon mehr als bekannt. Sie hatten für mich nur ein Lächeln übrig und unternahmen nichts! Das ist für mich auch Ungarn....leider leider und das am 26.2.2007!
Die Polizei kann in dem Fall leider nichts machen. Du hast was getrunken, was auf der Karte mit überhöhtem Preis stand. Von daher ist leider nichts gegen solche Abzocker zu machen.
Immer vorher die Karte anschauen!
Don't get in this place. If you get in, you will have to pay an extravagent bill, and no chance to get out if you don't pay. Even if you call the police. They will not really help you.
Went there after Rio nightclub with a friend. Ironically we weren't really going to go but said just half hour bit of a laugh so jumped in a cab & never really had a problem in other European countries before. 60,000 later we walked out. B***ds!! But Hungary is only a young Capitalist country and even gangsters know in the long run it's not good for business to 'rip people off'. In time the Police will get bored & the Politicians will be forced to shut it down. So do say no figure of Budapest lovely city, lovely people, g8 food. What I can offer on the mistakes we made was, do not go in a cab (all cabs are a rip off in Budapest be prepared) anywhere dodgey, ask the hotel where you stay on where to go, do a bit of research first & bit of nauce this industry still has bad business practise to civillians. (They wont survive though even they know that.)
The taxi itself is not a ripp off, just never let the taxi driver bring you to a place "he knows". If you tell him the exact street or place you want to go he will bring you there.
He is getting paid a good commission by the clubs to bring people...
free entry, 18000 huf for the first drink!!
owned by gangsters etc.
Always look for text written by small letters on the menu etc!
Me and 2 others got ripped off by 54000 huf. for 3 warm heineken.
DO NOT GO THERE!!
Hi, me and my homies went there while we were in Budapest and WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER, we got riped off of 2 thousand american dollard. NEVER GO THERE DOESN'T WORTH 2 THOUSAND $.
TRUST US DONT GO THERE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO OUT WITH OUT TROUBLE.
Dirty robbing Hungarian bastards. Keep the hell away from this dirt hole, the girls are basic, the wine is 200 quid a bottle. We decided to buy 3, so you do the math.... We went out fighting though, a large screw driver was at hand and it did the job with the little pit bull bouncer. They wont mess with us again.....
The club is the best club I ever been to. We were with three guys and ripped of for 1.500 euros for only 3 beers!!! We didn't ask for anythink and when we decided to leave the club... we had to pay a bill of 620.000 HUF ????
So never go there! That guys are crazy and you can't run because of the three Robocops in front of the door.
DONT GO TO THE MYLADY!!
Well 620k HUF is far more than just 1.500 EUR...
It will be not possible for the current day situation.
Avoid mylady strip club in Budapest...
A friend and in a harmless jaunt to view beautiful bare Budapest girls learnt the expensive (and some what scary way) when entering the club for free all seemed well except when we realised that the drinks we bought for our delightful stripper friends were not actually 4800FT they were 48000FT!!!!!!!
For this slight oversight in pricing we were told that we would have 2 hours sex! But I actually just wanted strippers I said, not sex... we are leaving. This was the defining moment when all got pear shaped.
One angry large individual told us you have to pay or.....
So the question was asked... do we run or do we pay as the bill they presented was for 241000FT!!!!!!!!
I feel as though we could make it. Let’s ask the other foreigner in here what he thinks?
The German looks at me with a fake smile and says through gritted teeth "get out now!"
FUCK I'm going to die.... my friend and I decide to pay, surprise surprise as we both have a certain value for our knee caps and by this point every one in the club on the gangsters team has realised we know we are being fucked.
So off to the ATM we go with a Hungarian gorilla as an escort to assemble what equates to 800 english pounds.
To add injury to insult and as one last piece of Hungarian arse fuckery we are handed a complementary bottle of champaign!!! What the fuck?!
Any way we flee the venue with sheer elation we are still breathing and reminisce about the innocent titty bar romp that went so wrong in Budapest.
Note to self... admire architecture not tits unless you are a with... or are a local.
DO NOT GO TO MYLADY BUDAPEST
DO NOT GO IN UNLESS YOU WANT TO LIVE!
SECURITY PERSONAL IS RECRUITED AMONG CRIMINALS AND
MURDERERS WELL KNOWN TO THE POLICE. OWNERS ARE CONVICTED CRIMINALS. THERE ISN'T A DAY WITHOUT INCIDENTS. THESE PEOPLE ARE SPECIALIZED IN RIPPING OFF FOREIGNERS. DO NOT HOPE FOR POLICE HELP, MOST OF THEM ARE CORRUPT AND WORK WITH THE MILADY STAFF.
Boys, here is a list of clubs you should NOT go to: http://hungary.usembassy.gov/tourist_advisory.html
I recommend to go to a) Marylins, b) Hallo Bar or c) Royal Palace. You won't get ripped off, you will have tons of fun with beatuiful girls.
Do NEVER go into a bar a girl recommends to you!
It is very sad to hear these stories over and over again. Every year people run in these ripp off striptease bars. Thats what keeps this business alive. The hard thing though is that they close their bars and open up under another name the next year so its really hard to keep track of the ripp off bars in Budapest.
The US embassy once released a list of these bars but they cannot keep it up to date.
In the Budapest escort industry it seems to be similar. Beautiful Budapest girls are promised online and what the people get are totally different girls.
Unfortunately this throws a very bad light on Budapest even thoug if you keep your eyes open you don´t run into these traps.
My brother went to a strip club in budapest recommended to him by his taxi driver.after taking two girls up stairs for £400 a third was sent in which he kindly told he didn't want her as he had no more money.the next thing he knows,some big dude storms in and demand he pays for the girl he didn't ask for,my brother argued he had no more money then has his jaw broken and his head beat so bad he passed out.he woke up in the foot well of a car being drove out of the city.he managed to wrestle the steering wheel and crash the car into a lamp post then he ran for his life.he had to run 2 hrs through woods,over a train track and through fields b4 finding a road and begging on his knees for someone to stop and help him.sounds like something out of a movie I know but when I saw his face and body covered in bruises and his broken jaw...this is no made up story.they would have dumped my brother and left him for dead.they stole the rest of his cash and have left him traumatised.and u cant even go to the police as they are all in on it.if u r going to go to these places then go somewhere recommended by a friend u trust,and never drink the alcohol served to u which is often spiked.my brother is soooo lucky to b alive
Of course Hungarian Girls in Nightclubs want to earn as much money as possible with dancing but in Marilyns they do not rip you off....
what sad stories I have read today ,,,,
but any way
u guys go there by ur feet and then complain about them!!!!
for sure they made these places as a trap for Human
they attract u in the beginning and rap u at the end
keep ur mind ,body & money save safe
and go back to ur religion ( what ever ur religion is ) u will see that the best way to enjoy the sexual life is with ur wife ( not even with ut girl friend )
