Zenta Kraft by Etyeki

Taproom of a brewery that seems to specialize in fruited beer, which there the quality is good, outside that the quality slips a bit. Very friendly and welcoming, the bartenders were chatty and knowledgeable about the beer. Lively, popular with the younger crowd, got a kick out of the bar fashioned like a boat and the honky tonk music they were jiving to. Many fruited beers, other classical styles represented on tap and a few in cans.

I visited Zenta Kraft last week; they're a new taproom just opened in the last few months by Etyeki Sörmanufaktúra, a brewery out in the countryside outside Budapest. They had about 16 beers on tap, with the selection split 50/50 between Etyeki's beers and those from other breweries. The style selection was pretty wide, including fruited sours, a few IPAs, English bitter, some dark beers, etc.

When I visited it was not too busy, and I sat right up at the bar so service was quick and friendly. My particular bartender didn't speak a ton of English but you'd have no trouble getting a beer (he was very chatty in Hungarian). The vibe of the place is really great, though -- it's like a basement pub (I mean, it *is* a basement pub), with lots of dark wood wainscoting, green upholstery and accents, and just a general lived-in English pub kinda feel. It's definitely the kind of place you could settle into for an evening.

They have a food but i didn't eat on my visit. They also have a selection of 50 or 60 cans for on-site consumption or to go, including several Etyeki beers and a bunch from other breweries as well.
