Lake Balaton · Nightlife

Balatonfured: family winery's own bar, pouring their Riesling and Olaszrizling with pogacsa and a lake view.

Badacsonytomaj: hillside terrace above the vines, open into the evening through the season. Sunset over the water is the draw.

Badacsonyors: vineyard estate and tasting terrace on the north shore, low-key and best booked ahead in high summer.

Long-running pub on the south shore's strip, open late through summer. Loud, cheap and unpretentious.

The south shore's bar strip: cocktail bars and clubs shoulder to shoulder, busiest midnight onwards in July and August.
