Kocsis Irma: A tour of our Locals. (A very quick one) - Our Budapest (Budapest, 1993)

Femina Söröző Femina Beer-Hoüse

XV. Mosolygó Antal utca 2

A corner house in the XVth district. Around the building is a terrace with galvanized iron tables and the old men resting their elbows upon them. The interior is also L-shaped, with a newspaper kiosk beside one of the pillars. Recently, a section of the beer house was walled off and turned into a little Spaten Beer-bar, with a skittle alley. Sitting in the spacious garden brings to my mind the mulberry trees of the now demolished POKOL (Hell) and Guszti Tihanyi, my favourite publican calling: “Time, Gentlemen, Time!”

(And that means you too, Tarnai!)
