The Best Sports Bars in Budapest – Your 2024 Guide

I’ve walked the streets to hunt out the best sports bar in Budapest. I’m a beer-loving football fan from the UK. But if you’re a rugby lover or even an NFL fanatic from across the pond, fear not, there’s something for you here too. So let’s take a look at the best sports bars in Budapest.

Budapest’s Best Sports Bars

Here are the four best sports bars in Budapest to watch football and more.

Champs – The sports bar in Budapest with 1,900 channels.

Yes, that’s right, one-thousand nine-hundred channels. They basically have access to every country’s sports shows. So much so, that if you want, and ask nicely, you can probably even watch some kabaddi, live from Jaipur!

That’s because at Champs, along with the near-infinite amount of channels, they also have more than 40 screens dotted around their sprawling basement setup. 

Along with an extensive drinks menu, they also offer a vast range of meals and snacks to feed you through your sports-watching sesh!

Jack Doyle’s – The sports bar in Budapest with an Irish twist. 

If you’re looking for a sports bar in Budapest that’s located in the heart of the city, Jack Doyle’s Irish Pub & Restaurant is the one for you. 

Unlike most sports bars in Budapest, this one isn’t underground. It has windows! It can’t compete with 1,900 channels, but it has everything the average sports fan needs. Football, rugby, cricket, F1, boxing, UFC and NFL are all available at Jack Doyle’s.

The entertainment doesn’t stop with sports though. They also have live music every night of the week. Add to that a food menu you’d expect from an Irish pub and you’ll start to see why this is more than just a sports bar in Budapest. It’s a one-stop entertainment venue!

From the outside, it looks huge, but the inside is smaller than you think. As with any decent Irish bar, they have no problem squeezing people in and serving them quickly. In my personal opinion, if you only have time to visit one sports bar in Budapest, Jack Doyle’s is where you should go.

SCORE! – The best place to play sports

Beer pong is a sport, right? If so then SCORE is definitely the best sports bar in Budapest to both watch and play sports. There are also plenty of pool tables there too.

SCORE seems to attract more students than tourists. Like most sports bars in Budapest, it’s a basement bar. With its domed ceilings, Score seems more like a bunker than a bar. But it does offer a good range of well-priced beers along with 15 screens and craft beer.

So if you fancy seeing how the local students watch their sports head on out to Score. Here’s a link to Google Maps.

The Kaledonia – A gastro sports pub in Budapest

That’s not a common combination, is it? The words gastro & sports pub, but that’s what the guys are offering you at this Scottish pub in Budapest. The walls, and in some rooms, the ceilings, are decorated with whiskey boxes and there’s even haggis on their fancy menu.

It might seem a strange mix but they pull it off at Kaledonia because they have many rooms for their different offerings. The dining room is ready for those after a fancy night out, with freshly pressed white linen tablecloths and shiny, perfectly placed cutlery.

You’re probably pleased to hear though, that most of the establishment is used as an old-fashioned Scottish pub. There aren’t anywhere near the same number of screens as the others on this list but I thought that it’s worth a place on it because it’s offering something different.

Address: Budapest, Mozsár u. 9, 1066 Hungary

There are many more sports bars in Budapest, and if you want you can easily sniff them out. These four are in my opinion the best places to watch sport in Budapest and they all offer something slightly different.
