Late October in Budapest brings two completely different moods, back to back. October 31 falls on a Saturday this year, the perfect date for a great Halloween night downtown, while November 1–2, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, bring quieter, more reflective days. Beerstro14 is a good choice for both occasions: on Saturday evening you can kick off or wind down your night out with dinner, and on the Sunday-Monday that follows, you can ease back into everyday life with a warm, filling meal.
When are Halloween and All Saints’ Day in 2026?
- Halloween: Saturday, October 31
- All Saints’ Day: Sunday, November 1 — officially a public holiday, but since it falls on a Sunday this year, it doesn’t add an extra day off for most work schedules
- All Souls’ Day: Monday, November 2 — not a public holiday in its own right
So this time, you can’t count on a long weekend on account of these days (among the autumn holidays, only Friday, October 23 brings a three-day break), but Saturday’s Halloween night and the quieter days that follow still give you a good excuse for a dinner out.
Why is Beerstro14 a great choice around Halloween and All Saints’ Day?
Located on Károlyi utca, in the heart of downtown, Beerstro14 suits both occasions.
On Halloween night, after an early dinner you can head off to the costume parties calmly, fed and refreshed — no need to settle for a late-night queue or quick street food. And if you’d rather sit down afterwards, a quieter downtown spot makes for a much more pleasant way to close out the evening than a crowded club’s snack bar.
Around All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, the mood is different: many people visit cemeteries at this time, or simply want a calm, warm dinner after a long day. Beerstro14’s dry-aged steaks, filling main courses, craft beers and wine list are a fitting answer to that — it’s no accident that pairing beer with good meat is the very basis of our name.
What should you eat and drink at this time of year?
Autumn evenings call for warming, characterful flavors:
- Dry-aged steaks – from tenderloin to rib eye, there’s a fitting choice for everyone
- Craft beers – from the lighter, pale varieties to the darker, more characterful ones
- Egri Bikavér and other red wines – if you’d rather go for wine, our staff are happy to help with pairing
Is it worth booking a table in advance?
Yes, especially on Halloween weekend, when downtown is even busier than usual. Here’s how to book:
- 1–10 people: online reservation system
- 10–15 people: by phone or email
- 15+ people: by email only
