Kadarka Wine Bar and Wine Shop (Kadarka Borbár és Borkereskedés) http://kadarkawinebar.com/ Mostly Hungarian wines made from long-forgotten Hungarian grape varieties, both for tasting and takeaway on site. It’s Casual and attracts young to old. You can’t beat the selection, the service or the prices. The waiters know their wine well and this is the one where you can sample a few before you buy glass. Food menu is very good as well.

Palack Borbár https://palackborbar.hu/ They stock 80-100 wines, usually from smaller wineries. Good tapas and a sweet view of the Gellert Hotel, the Danube and the Szabadság bridge. A nice escape from the tourists.
I agree - Wine Not was a wonderful place to try some very good Hungarian wines. We had a fun evening there!
