Browse the following reviews on Budapest Nightclubs submitted by travellers. Learn from their stories to avoid getting in similar situations. Budapest is fanatastic city with exciting nightlife. The choice in good bars, pubs, and clubs is wide so doy our research well before going out to enjoy nightlife in Budapest. We gladly accepted. A while later the same barman came back and again offered 3 beers. We accepted again. He then proceeded to offer us 3 shots with our beers.
We said no at first then decided to go ahead with them as he made out as if they were complimentary. We were flabergasted but had to pay as we were threatened with trouble. We learnt never to accept table service and always se what you are paying for. For 6 beers we were forced to pay We were scammed for HUF per person plus they said if we buy the girls champagne we would get a private dance per person for free.
We neither got the free dance and we got a bill of thousand HUF for five people. The owners threatened us with bodily harm and we were forced to pay. Do not ever go to JET. It is a hostess bar and if you enter you will have trouble leaving unless you pay an extremely high bill. There will be a girl on the door trying to get you in, saying that it is a strip club and that you only need to buy one drink.
But once you are in you are surrounded by several girls and before you know what is happening several bottles of champagne are placed on the table. You are then treated to a short lapdance , and questioning by the girls as to where your hotel is. What you dont realise at the time is that as soon as you have entered the club the doors are locked and you are trapped. The atmosphere soon turns nasty if you refuse to say where you are staying and then you are presented with the bill which runs into the hundreds of thousands.
At this point you are threatened if you refuse to pay. If you dont have the cash you are marched to the nearest cashpoint and made to withdraw the said amount which goes up if you argue with the doormen. There is also a money exchange shop on the corner which you must not use at any cost, as you will be robbed of every penny you have.
