It would be a cheap joke to start by saying that a dense hedge of Árkád-line shields (referring to the Árpád line, a WW2 fortification system, pun intended) and protects this sunken ground-floor spot from the street noise. The ambiance of this venue, reminiscent of a Nagykörút (Grand Boulevard) pub, is defined by its cozy terrace wrapping around the corner and its strong sports character, highlighted by jerseys, flags, and Nemzeti Sport article clippings covering the walls and ceiling. Árkád is a first-class spot for any important sporting event, whether it's a meditative afternoon watching the Olympics or a collective outburst of swearing during a national football team's match. It also makes for a perfect refreshment stop during a bike ride from the city center to the Római-part or Szentendre, as the bike path runs just a corner away. You can also order a melegszendvics ('warm sandwich') to accompany your drinks.
