About Pontoon

VIP booths with bottle service sit alongside the open beer-garden tables here, which tells you most of what you need to know about how the night is structured on the Antall József embankment in District V. Table service means you can hold a spot through the evening rather than fight for one, and the price band stays at the mid-range end, so a booth here costs less than the equivalent elsewhere in the city. Music swings between techno, R&B and commercial hits, with live sets filling the gaps, and the crowd skews to visitors — Western European and South American among them, mostly in the 25 to 45 bracket. Thursday through Saturday are the loud nights; smart casual is the expectation, and 18 is the drinking age. It runs year-round rather than closing with the summer, and holds a 4.2 rating across more than three thousand reviews.
