Lumen is located in an active spot . Formally a tailor ’ s workshop on a quiet street ; it is now situated within a pedestrianized square , with outdoor seating front and back . The pride themselves on their home roasted coffee , their plants and their guests . Holding urban / smart talks on Mondays , free jazz sessions on Tuesdays as well as Djs and Hungarian Folk nights . ‘ This is roman , some people like , some people don ’ t- it ’ s not a typical place – it ’ s not fancy , it ’ s not posh – I like our guests as they are open minded – it is a great hub , artists , DJs , locals – everybody .’ Lumen opened in 2012 and is linked with Lumen photo foundation and gallery next door . The 8th district is an important location for them due to the links with photography . Over the years the area has changed alot -there was a boom in the 7th district - which affected them also . Lumen is on the cusp of the tourist areas but strongly maintains its individual stance in the area .

Just round from Rákóczi tér you can find Csiga . (’ Snail ’ in English ) 20 years ago the building was owned by an Irish man called Oran . Now it is a relaxing hub for drinking , eating , working etc . It holds an impressive winding staircase up to a mezzanine level with more seating , and plants hanging everywhere . The majority of the crowd found here are regulars , with some locals and tourists joining as the word spreads on this wonderful place . The owners are proud to be in the 8th district and love the area , giving the place a very relaxed , oraganic feel .
