Frequently asked questions
When are you guys open?
Hey, party people! We’re open every day from 6 PM to 6 AM. Ready to rock?
Do I need to pay to get in?
Most of our parties and music gigs are free (awesome, right?), but sometimes certain rooms are ticket-only for special events (like live concerts). So, it’s a mix!
Oops, I left something behind. What now?
Lost something? No sweat! Just swing by between 6 PM and 5 AM, or give us a ring at +36 70 638 5040. You can also email us at info@instant-fogas.com. We’ll do our best to find your stuff. Pro tip: coming early when we open is a smart move. (Sorry, no help on Facebook for lost items.)
What's the vibe like? What events do you have?
For the latest scoop on our wild parties and programs, check out our Facebook page or website. Always something happening!
Cloakroom and valuables, how does that work?
We’ve got a cloakroom for your gear (300 HUF/guest). No separate valuables storage, though, so keep your treasures close! If you pay in euros, we give change in forints (1 euro = 300 HUF). And remember, our cloakroom staff won’t peek inside your bags or coats. Lost your cloakroom ticket? You’ll have to wait until we close, the last guest leaves, or we open the next day. Bring your ID and proof of address to claim your stuff. Keep your ticket safe – if you lose or damage it, it’s a 1,000 HUF fee. And no, we can’t help if you mix up tickets within your group.
Reusable cups and tokens, tell me more!
We’re eco-friendly here! Get your drinks in reusable cups with a token (300 HUF for both). Keep your token for refunds! Cup refunds only happen with both the cup and token. Refund station: near the cloakroom in the garden.
Can kids come in?
Little ones (6-10 years) can join for free with a ticket-holding adult. Kids 10-18 need a ticket and must be with an adult with a ticket too. Special wristbands or cards for underage guests. Note: Electronic music and post-10 PM events are 18+. And remember, no alcohol or smoking for those under 18!
Can I bring my pet?
Love your furry friends, but please leave them at home. It’s for their safety and comfort, and ours too.
Can I pay in euros?
Yes, we accept euros, but the change will always be given in Hungarian forints (HUF).
Saw a photographer. When and where can I see the pics?
We don’t have a photographer every day, but when we do, check out the pics later on our Facebook page or website gallery. If a freelance photographer snapped your photo, ask them directly where to find the shots.
Can I smoke?
Yes, but only in the designated areas in the garden. It’s a legal thing and for safety, you know?
Is there an outdoor dance floor?
Absolutely! We’ve got an outdoor dance floor and another garden area, both winterized for those chilly months.
How and where can I book a table?
Book a table anytime on our website or call during opening hours. If you book online, wait for our team to confirm.
What about skipping the line?
For some big parties, you can grab a “queue jump” ticket. If you’ve got a ticket for a paid event (like a concert), you get special entry without waiting in the free line.
New Year's party at Instant? Entry fee? Where to buy tickets?
Best New Year’s bash in town, always at our place. A few pre-sale tickets available (arrive by 11 PM), but mostly sold on-site. Check out our Facebook or website for event details.
