Instant Club

Szimpla is big. Instant is bigger. The biggest in fact. This is a one-stop party shop, made up of a seemingly endless amount of bars, music rooms, and dance floors — if someone invites you to Fogas, Lärm, Liebling, Pont, Robot, FRAME or UnderWelt, they just mean one of the many clubs inside the Instant complex. The first ruin bar on this site was actually Fogas, which began in 2009 as a pokey one room venue. Over the years, that little bar slowly swallowed up the surrounding space, and by the time Instant moved in and merged with the ever-expanding complex in 2017, it had become the largest ruin bar in the land. Be warned: there’s every chance you’ll get lost in Instant during your first visit. The psychedelic decorations, thumping bass, and generous pours by the bar staff can see even a seasoned scoutmaster becoming disoriented. But that’s part of the charm — by getting lost, you’ll stumble upon some no-name DJ busting out a mega set, or a young MC spitting fire on one of the small stages underground. It’s like a drunk treasure hunt, with the prize of phat beats. Sidenote: I don’t know the cool words any more.
