Ötkert has been named the winner of the 2026 Elephant Award in the Best Nightlife Venue in Budapest & Pest Countycategory.Some awards mean more than others, and this is definitely one of them.

Why? Because this wasn’t decided by a panel of judges. It was decided by you, our guests, the people who celebrate, dance and create unforgettable memories with us every day.

Each year, the Elephant Awards recognize the hospitality and nightlife venues that go beyond hosting events by creating lasting experiences, building communities, and shaping Budapest’s vibrant cultural and nightlife scene. This year, the winners were chosen from a total of 7,508 valid public votes, making this recognition even more meaningful to us.

To us, this award is so much more than a trophy. It reflects the appreciation and trust of the people who have been part of Ötkert’s journey over the past 15 years. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who voted for us and helped make this possible.

Receiving this award motivates us to keep raising the bar. Our goal remains the same: to create a place where outstanding music, a unique atmosphere and unforgettable nights come together, and where everyone feels welcome to return.

Officially, the award belongs to Ötkert. In reality, it belongs to everyone who has ever celebrated, danced, laughed or shared a memorable night with us.Thank you for your support, your trust and for making Ötkert the place it is today.

See you at the next party!
