The location turns into a nightclub -- it can be found in Budapest, Hungary just inside of the historic Bhyugati Railway Station. On the weekends, it turns into a nightclub that is packed with [fast food bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-cravings) and bright lights. On Friday and Saturday nights between 10 pm and 4 am, the location alters into a club complete with [live DJ sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bun-house-disco) and an immersive light show experience. Visitors can dance and even grab some of their favorites from the menu in between. In addition, there is also a conveyor belt that delivers food between the split-level space.
