I love this iconic historical place.
Hősök tere is one of the major squares in Budapest, Hungary, noted for its iconic statue complex featuring the Seven Chieftains of the Magyars and other important national leaders, as well as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It hosts the Museum of Fine Arts and the Műcsarnok. The square has played an important part in contemporary Hungarian history and has been a host to many political/cultural events.
Besides it was one of the favorite place of skaters, bikers and families.
Next to it You can find the ZOO, Circus, City Park (Vároliget), and the Vajdahunyad castle.
Recommended to go here at night, too.

Akvárium Klub, the surrounding , and the adjacent Deák Square together constitute the largest and perhaps best-known meeting point of Budapest. Thousands of youngsters gather here night after night to chill out in the park or on the steps of the club. Akvárium Klub is more than a simple bar: it is a culture center with a wide musical repertoire from mainstream to underground. There is always a good concert and a smashing exhibition, performance, or other event happening here, in a friendly scene. Furthermore, Volt-Lokál found inside brings the atmosphere of the best festivals to Budapest week by week.

If you have never tried a supermarket elevator run by a lift boy with spirits and beer served in it, or haven’t been on the original steps (full of decals and graffiti) of the former „social realist” Corvin supermarket, or you are simply curious, how the logo of Kaisers and the Statue of Liberty look like next to each other, Corvin Terrace is for you. From the huge roof terrace - open in Summer till morning - you can have a unique view to the roofs, neon ads, and the hills of Buda. From Autumn till Spring you have to go one floor down to an indoor area bathed in red light reminding you of the colors and shapes of the 1980’s. Music: wide selection of electronic/techno.

Mazel Tov is an open hearted cultural space in the city’s center, a streamlined and comforting place focusing on gastronomy in the 7th district, in the middle of the historically Jewish quarter, today’s downtown’s night-life center. This urban, recreational, dog-friendly garden laden with planted herbs and trees is transformed into a garden party location in the evenings. We wish to establish an informal, casual atmosphere, an easily digestible urban meeting point, which transforms into one of the most intimate and greenest arbors at dusk, every day of the week.

I recommend it because it is quite practicle and not far.

Aréna Pláza is one of the city's youngest and largest malls. It was built on a former horse-racing track next to Keleti Railway Station, and even though it takes a little walking to get there from the stops of metro lines M2 and M4.
Popular brands are available, and there is also a wide selection of cafés and restaurants. The first IMAX cinema of the city opened here but it’s not the only source of entertainment. During the winter months on its terrace there is an ice-skating ring.

VakVarjú ("BlindCrow")Excellent Hungarian style restaurant served in a modern way. Try the Hungarian Grey beef or the Mangalica porc and don't miss the poppy seed cake! Friendly stuff, pleasant area for a dinner and hanging out. Child friendly.
Note:
I marked that this place is good for "Late nights" too, because next to it there is a related pub, Vakegér ("BlindMouse")
Where like stock market, there is drink market:
It is the law of supply&demand that sets exchange rates of drinks at any given time ;)
