Black Sheep Budapest Hostel

I visited the bar of this hostel with some friends whilst walking through Budapest one evening and seeing the advertisement for beer at 400 Forint outside. Thinking the price to be about average for the area, we decided to go in and give it a try. The lights are dimmed, with an eerie green glow eminating from around the walls. The music selection was an interesting mix of clubbing beats and reggae - most of which seemed to be French. On approaching the bar and ordering, the man behind it poured our drinks, but said he could not serve them to us because he doesn't actually work there. That was slightly odd, but he went to get the real barman who served us without a problem. The atmosphere was perhaps a little loud, but overall the beer was reasonable and the experience pleasant. I cannot comment on the hostel, but compared to some of the others in the city, the bar is rather clean and not quite so much of a dive. The toilets are upstairs in the main hostel itself though, which did not seem quite so impressive as the downstairs.
