About this audio guide
This guide to the Instant-Fogas Complex in Budapest traces two separate ruin bars: Fogas Haz, which opened after builders found a century-old dentist's sign while gutting this Jewish Quarter building in 2009, and Instant, a Nagymezo Street club famous for a ceiling of leaping rabbits and an owl bolted to the wall. It follows Instant into early 2017, when its landlord pulled the lease to make way for a hotel. Listen for what each club's owners decided to do next.
