The two words to know for Budapest are kerts ("gardens") and romkocsma ("ruin-pubs"). Do a search for "Budapest kert" and you'll get a bevy of articles written about most of the best places. However, some of the newest ones you'll have to ask around.
Corvinteto (corvinteto.com) is great as it is on the roof of an old department store. Szimpla (szimpla.hu) is the "original kert." Piaf Klub is a really interesting and maybe a bit scary bunch of clientele in the early hours of the morn when everywhere else is closed. (piafklub.hu) A38 ship is a cool venue (a38.hu) on the Buda side. Zold Pardon (zp.hu) that is a beer garden and music venue for mostly students of the nearby uni. There's also a 24 party club scene going on Hajogyari Island in III which you may be interested in. Do a search for "hajogyari sziget" or "hajogyari island" for more articles and info. Check out the decent recs on these pages for things I missed: http://wikitravel.org/en/Budapest/Pest#Drink. http://wikitravel.org/en/Budapest/Buda#Drink Have a great time!

As a start, you can have a look on my nightlife tips :)
Other then that it would be a great idea to narrow down your preferences, so that I/we can start recommending a few places out of the hundreds ;) yours, Attila a.k.a. mediolatino

For your first night, I'd recommend to go on an organised pubcrawl. They're cheap and you can get info on them from most hostels. This way you won't get lost on your first night and its also a good way to meet other people travelling and locals who can all give you tips on where to go the next night.
There are some really cool pubs that you probably wouldn't find without meeting somebody local or somebody who has been there a while.
