ATM is located conveniently inside the bar...Welcome to Budapest hospitality and scam bars ran by mafia. That did not happen? How about false subway inspectors extorting money, or false agents looking for drugs...guys selling Iphone 5 on every corner... Due to economic downturn, Budapest and Vaci street is full of scammers !!

a group of us heard about this scam at dinner the last night in Amsterdam. we tried to warn as many people as we could but heard the stories of guys being ripped off throughout the show. on the trip home a friend told me he was ripped off for 900 euro. there is a variation on this scam involving strip clubs and one of our friends fell for that one too. its unfortunate that this info wasn't passed along in threads dealing with the show to warn everyone in advance. all that said, it was a great show for business
