Dolce Vita
I've been robbed and cheated in this place.
I was walking in the city, looking for a place to have dinner (I did't know the city very well) when two friendly girls saw me with a city map and offered me help. They said they were going to bring me to a pub where I could order some food too. I agreed as I thought that it was a good way to meet new people and see the real hungarian city.
When we got in the place, it was not a pub, but a striptease club... I was shocked seeing a girl lap dancing. They insisted in having just a drink and then move to another place. I noticed that something was wrong but evything happend to fast for me. Suddenly, I was drinking a coke and the two girls ordered some cocktels, orange juice and some more things. They asked for the bill that was 30.000 HUF (around 150 euros if I'm not wrong). I just paid 5000 (my drink was around 3000 HUF) and waited for the other girls to paid. It never happend. Then, they started to tell me a lot of scaring things and forcing me to pay saying lies like they didn´t have any money (and the lady waitress saying that she saw their wallets and that was true). In the end, after 20 minutes argument, I agreed to pay 19.000 (around 100 euros, although I didn´t realise that!) and tried to pay by bank card. They didn't accept it and they went with me TO THE CASH machine to get the money. Fortunately, I didn´t have enough money so they tried me to pay with some other money I had in my wallet. I was stupid and gave her 5700 HUF more, the rest of my money. She pretended to say that her boss blablabla... and left me go.
I went home very feeling bad (I spent 40 euros in a coke). I thought there was something wrong, so then I went back to the city center and saw thesame two girls trying to do the same cheat to some other people. Unfortunately, I couldn't ask them for my money as they went back to Dolce Vita and they had some big scaring mafia-bouncers all around the place.
Make you a favour and don´t go to Dolce Vita. Be carefull in this place... they are mafia and you might have to pay A LOT of money.
