  • Speak Easy Brunch @ Corinthia Hotel Budapest, 14 October

    • 11 Oct 2018 9:20 AM

    Prohibition is nowhere to be found as we recreate the style and exuberance of the USA’s hidden bars. Take your taste buds on a vintage adventure with stateside classics, while honky-tonk music and costumed waiters complete the effect – you’ll feel right at home in the romance of a bygone era.

Xpatloop seeks to facilitate a better understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of life in Hungary for expats and locals alike. As a portal we share news, views & information - from a wide range of sources - to enhance cooperation between people, companies and organisations operating in expat related circles.
