On October’s first weekend, MÚZSA is celebrating her first dance around the sun.

With its inspired atmosphere to enjoy artful cocktail creations, an exciting blend of Asian and Hungarian cuisines, and a diverse mix of local authentic live entertainment, MÚZSA portrays the best of Hungary’s rich cultural and culinary heritage.

MÚZSA is the Hungarian word for “muse” and as the name suggests, the concept of the bar is inspiration and creativity indicative of the Art Nouveau era that once thrived in Budapest.

MÚZSA represents a modern interpretation of Budapest’s golden age that is as innovative as it is iconic.
