Night club
Sortie is a renowned entertainment complex located on the Bosphorus shore, offering a luxurious and trendy nightclub experience. Boasting a stunning location with breathtaking views of the Bosphorus, Sortie features 7 restaurants and 3 bars serving international cuisine and local wines. The airy and stylish dining room overlooks the water, providing an elegant setting for enjoying delicious and unique-tasting dishes.
The perfect place! The food is amazing, with generous portions. The interior design is beautiful, complemented by an incredible view. The service was among the best we've experienced in Istanbul. Highly recommended! P.S. The only downside is that online reservations require a credit card, and both a kuver charge and service fee are applied.

Nice location, with incredible views of the Asian side if you get a booth at the waterfront. People arrive in boats. Got there 11pm and it was practically empty. Attractive people. Music was typical I assume. The waitstaff was very busy pouring our drinks (not in the way we want). If you order the birthday cake to celebrate- the fireworks is real, the cake is not.

My friend recommended me this place, and I very surprised, in a good way ! Incredible place and view. I reserved a table and they offered me Boat service from Kempinski hotel ( faster and more fun than local taxi ) which was free , included in bill . I just payed for a table. I have enjoyed the club and music yesterday ! Looking forward to come more .

Had an amazing evening at Sortie — everything was perfect! The view, the food, the music, and the atmosphere were all top-notch. The staff were super friendly, and the whole vibe was just spot-on. From dinner to dancing, it was truly a night to remember. Can’t wait to come back!

They don't let you dance at the dance floor. They charged you 24000 lira to enter. And then they say you can't dance at the dance floor. After charging us the 24000 lira, they said table at the dance floor is 1million lira. They just want your money and then disrespect you. They have policy no boys without girls and girls without boys can enter. But girls without boys can enter. Only boys can't enter untill you agreed to spend more than 25000 lira. Well, We agreed. but then you're being categorized in many ways. You can't even leave your own table and you can't even go to dance floor. But girls without boys with them, can go to dance floor. Manager doesn't know what's going on. He said if you wana dance at the dance floor you have to pay 1Million lira. Like who are you people? Are you located at MARS? What's in that dance floor? Does it let you dance automatically once you stepped on it? Like seriously? All the girls without boys are dancing on the dance floor. It's a big Scam over there. They don't mention anywhere that there is a policy of entering into the club I.e. either you should have a girl with you if your are a group of boys or a boy if your a group of girls. But the funny part is, this policy depends on the money. If you agreed to spend more than 25000 lira they let you in.

I like the atmosphere. The music is a mixture of international and Turkish. Stuff is servicing well. And the view of the Bosphorus Bridge is nice. Overall, I recommend it as nice with a perfect atmosphere. The price of drinks is high. Also, you should dress perfectly and be in a dress code
Amir B — Google review
While the atmosphere at Sortie Club is fantastic, the service is a major letdown. On multiple occasions, servers have added extra drinks to our bill in an apparent attempt to overcharge us. When questioned, they suddenly "don’t speak English" and call someone else over—only to admit the “mistake” once they realize we’ve caught on. This has happened both when paying at the table and at the bar. To make matters worse, the staff is consistently rude and aggressively push for more tips, even though we had already tipped generously. It feels like they assume you’re too drunk to notice and look at the bill and try to take advantage of that. It’s a shame, because the vibe is great—but this kind of dishonest behavior from the staff completely ruins the experience.
Bahar — Google review
Very beautiful atmosphere! I can say that it's the most beautiful club in Turkey. There is the menu and all prices are written there. So the price is the same for everybody. And of course, it's beautiful when they don't get inside suspicious people. So better don't read their comments.

Event venue
Live music venue
Babylon is a renowned live music venue located in an atmospheric old brewery that has been transformed into a superb performing arts space north of Taksim Square in Istanbul. The venue boasts a stripped-back-to-brick interior and sophisticated lighting, creating an ideal setting for performances by national and international artists across various genres such as jazz, indie, world music, and electronica.
I've been here to see Emancipator, and it was such a great night! I’ve been waiting for this band to come to Istanbul for ages, and the venue made it even better. The atmosphere was amazing, the sound quality was spot on, and the ticket prices were really reasonable for the experience. If you’re planning a visit, here are a few tips: Parking: There’s limited parking around the Bomontiada area, so I’d recommend using public transport if you can. The Şişli metro station is nearby, and it’s just a short walk from there. Arrive Early: If you’re early, there’s plenty to do in Bomontiada itself. It’s a vibrant spot with restaurants, bars, and art spaces, so you can grab a bite or a drink before the show. The vibe is really cool, and it adds to the overall experience. Commuting: If you’re coming from further out, taxis and rideshare options are also convenient. Just leave a bit of extra time for traffic – it’s Istanbul, after all! This venue is one of those venues that makes live music feel special. Whether you’re there for a big-name act or a smaller band, it’s a fantastic place to enjoy a great night out. Better with friends. Highly recommend it!

It is a good and beautiful place where music festivals are held. The space is a little small. But the air conditioning is good. They keep the jacket at a cost of twenty liras so that we can be comfortable during the ceremony.

A babylon of drink, dance and meeting people in Istanbul! For me more than a five star place in the town. When u enter you suddenly realize that this is a lovely spot for international people and tourists so you can meet them or a group of friends having a nice dance and drink reunion! Different choices of food and drink provided by well differentiated restaurant corners. I wonder to come here frequently anytime I visit Istanbul! Enjoy the vibe! What a vibe!

Located in Ortakoy on the shores of the Bosphorus, Ruby is a high-end restaurant that transforms into a vibrant dance club at night. The venue offers stunning waterfront views and a luxurious atmosphere. Guests can enjoy award-winning cocktails prepared by skilled bartenders, as well as a dinner menu featuring an innovative fusion of eastern and western cuisine crafted by Chef Ertan Ozturan.
During our Istanbul visit we spent one evening at Ruby. We had an amazing evening. The atmosphere: in one word: Awesome The view on the Bosporus is breathtaking. The music is contributing to a cosy mood. The service: very kind and professional staff is making sure that the is nothing missing. The food: we started with Anadolu Tastes. This consist of several small dishes combined with Rakı. My main dish was Grilled Salmon Steak. The quality of the food is very good. All in all we had an amazing positive experience and it was definitely worth the money. René en Menekşe

In my recent trip to Istanbul everyone recommend to do to Ruby restaurant so we booked it and joined the herd. It was located in an alley and from outside it seemed quite okay as I was expecting a grand entrance and not a shabby looking entrance. But the minute I entered it completely blew my min, having the sea and the bridge dividing the turkey into Asia and Europe with the yachts and cruises moving by. We ordered few snacks and main courses. It had a rich variety of sea food. Combination of Italian, seafood and Mediterranean. The food was delicious and above was fabulous. The drink were ordered were on point. Everyone the bottles arrived it came with a firecrackers and lasybwho did little show before the drinks were poured. For a Friday night it was packed and many seemed celebrating too. after 11pm the restaurant turns into club, with amazing combination of Turkish, Arabic and English music playing and every few hours . 2 lady performers would come. The vibe the club was amazing. Each tables had on the house snacks like popcorn, fruit platter and nuts. I really enjoyed and would recommend everyone to visit RUby. The restaurant has a lounge in the basement too.

I’ve been to Ruby Club in Istanbul twice, and I really enjoyed both times! The vibe is stylish and energetic it’s not a huge place, but it has two floors and a cute little balcony area that gives it a unique charm. The music was amazing on both nights, and the dancers were beautiful and added to the whole atmosphere. The staff were very kind and the service was also really good. But the one thing that bothered me was how strict they were at the entrance about the dress code. They really insist that you wear high heels and dress up. But the last time I was there, I saw many girls inside wearing sneakers and even cargo-style pants 😅 so the rules didn’t seem consistent at all. Overall though, it’s a fun and stylish club with great energy. Just be ready to dress up in case they’re strict that night!

Ruby Istanbul is a fantastic spot with a beautiful view over the Bosporus—perfect for both dinner and a night out. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is lively and stylish. There are two parts to the venue: the restaurant, which is great for a relaxed and elegant dinner, and the club, which opens around 11 PM and is ideal for dancing and parties. It's a great combination of fine dining and nightlife in one place. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a fun night with good food and great music.

This place is beautiful but a total scam. Food was tasty but even though when we called to book a table for dinner and club afterwards, they said yes sure. One hour after dinner they told us to leave the table unless we pay 500€ which was outrageous after we’d paid lots of money for dinner. We had to move to a standing table in a not so nice area - so really not worth it. If you want to go, book a table at the club directly, make sure it’s in a nice area but don’t agree to pay outrageous prices. It’s not worth it

360 Istanbul is a contemporary penthouse restaurant and weekend club offering modern Turkish meze and global dishes. Situated in Istanbul's Beyoglu district, it provides a complete 360-degree panorama of the city, including iconic landmarks like the Galata Tower and possibly even the distant Dolmabahce Palace. The urban chic rounded tables offer an ideal setting to enjoy signature cocktails while taking in live acts and performances.
We went her last minute for dinner on a Monday evening and was pleasantly surprised with the wonderful elegant atmosphere and views. Our dinner entrees were excellent and the apps were average. The cocktail selection was nice. The outdoor views were great. I would like to see the late nightlife next time we return.

We visited 360 Istanbul to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The view was absolutely stunning — but unfortunately, that was the only highlight of the evening. The service was disappointing, the furniture felt worn out, and the staff didn’t meet our expectations in terms of professionalism or hospitality. The birthday service was especially poor, and I wouldn’t recommend this place for special occasions. The food was very average, yet extremely overpriced. For a group of four, with just two glasses of wine and no additional alcohol, we ended up paying 12,000 TL — which simply doesn’t reflect the quality of the experience. Beautiful view, but everything else was a letdown.

Not exactly my usual taste, but that’s just me as a foreign traveler. The food itself is delicate and unique. Plus, the view is great. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. But I really didn’t like being asked right in front of everyone to give a five-star Google review. That just feels dishonest, so minus one star.

I had a wonderful experience at 350 Restaurant thanks to our amazing server, Mustafa. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the entire meal. Not only was his service excellent, but he also has a very warm and charming personality. I highly recommend asking for Mustafa if you visit—he truly made our night special!

To be clear, this place has amazing food and the service is decent while you are there. The lamb confit was actually incredible. However, keep a close eye on your bill, as they will increase your bill later (take a picture). Bottom line - beautiful views and great food with corrupt business practices that lead me to a poor rating.

I didn’t try the food at Istanbul 360, but I had a cocktail that was absolutely delicious — although quite expensive. The view, however, is truly exceptional! It’s definitely worth a visit for the atmosphere and the stunning panoramic scenery.
Sandro P — Google review
The view of this restaurant is amazing. But we would not go there again if you want to have good food. We ordered two starters (calamari and a salmon salad), which didn't have any taste at all. Our main course was a steak with onion rings, potatoes and lettuce. The steak was fatty and there was also no taste. The onion rings were dry and tasted like they've been freshly out of the freezer. Unfortunately the expensive aperol wasn't good too. We could only taste the water. We complained about it and the waiter added something. But we still couldn't taste it.

My wife and I booked this restaurant based on good reviews however we were ripped off. For example, I had two ‘local’ beers, and was charged 1,400tr for them which is approximately £25!! I was not shown the price in advance. Be very careful before considering dining herr

Nardis Jazz Club, located near the iconic Galata Tower, is a cozy 120-seat venue with an intimate and down-to-earth vibe. The club hosts local jazz talents and collaborates with city jazz festivals to bring international artists to its small stage. The atmospheric club, run by local jazz enthusiasts, offers live performances on weekdays from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM and on weekends from 10:30 PM to 1:30 AM.
Excellent and cozy place to chill and hang out away from the busy and noisy night of Istanbul. Good price for the drinks compared to other bars and very polite staff. Would be back here for sure.🥂👍

Every big city I go to, I try to make it to a live music place and jazz specifically I can find it. I happened to hear Istanbul has an amazing jazz scene and when inquiring with a handful of people in the jazz scene most of them recommended Nardis. I arrived a tad bit late but was able to get a seat at the bar by myself and I absolutely loved this experience. The service was prompt, wine was good. I ordered food as I didn't have time beforehand and it was fine. The music was INCREDIBLE. This venue is on the smaller side and creates an intimate music experience. The musicians came by talking with people on their break and after the show. It's not often you get a chance to speak with the musicians so I truly valued the opportunity. I was SO happy to make it to this venue and see the show. 10/10 recommended

This is by far one of the best jazz places I’ve ever been to, if you re going there for the music you will go to quality and and pure jazz music. I would encourage everyone to not believe the bad reviews , because in my opinion those were probably people that first don’t have the money to spend for anything of quality and second their music al understanding is likely un existent ! So if you understand and appreciate jazz this is definitely the place to be!

We had an unforgettable night at Nardis Jazz Club. The band was excellent, they played Jazz and Tango and I can't remember the last time I gained such pleasure from music. A huge thanks to the owners of the club for organising such a beautiful night! About the place: the entrance fee is 800TL. The food is just your standard pub food, nothing fancy, but on a more expensive range of the spectrum. We heard loads of people complimenting cocktails, but we had beer. 290TL per draft Efes. There is a show on each night, except for Sundays, you can look at their website to see the programme. I highly recommend visiting this place, your soul will thank you!

Moretenders’ Cocktail Crib & Sushi, formerly known as 5 Cocktails & More, has reemerged with a new name and a promise to be funkier, cosier, and cooler than ever. The bar boasts a renewed cocktail menu without compromising on quality. Akin Kayisoglus Demonic Mix is recommended for gin enthusiasts.

Awesome spot in Istanbul! The sushi was super fresh and delicious, and the cocktails were fantastic, we got dynamite shrimp and volcano makis. What really stood out was the music: electronic and honestly really good. It totally sets the vibe. The atmosphere is amazing: cool, stylish, and energetic without feeling overwhelming.

A Hidden Gem in Istanbul That Sets the Bar High When I stepped into Moretenders, I was astonished. In a city where prompt service and a warm smile can be rare, this place delivers both—right from the moment you walk in. As a world traveler and a self-proclaimed snob when it comes to cocktails and sushi, I came in with high expectations—and Moretenders blew them out of the water. Tucked away in a vibrant corner of Istanbul, the atmosphere is unmatched: lively yet refined, modern but with soul. The staff? Incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, and impressively attentive. And the food and drinks? Flawless. The sushi is fresh, creative, and beautifully presented. The cocktails—crafted with care and balance—would hold their own in Tokyo, London, or New York. Moretenders is more than a restaurant or a bar—it’s a testament to just how world-class Istanbul can be. A must-visit for anyone serious about quality

I drank three of the mocktails they had available and enjoyed each one of them. My friends each chose different drinks from the menu and the drinks were a hit or miss for them.

I liked this place for it’s stylish setting, the signature cocktails, I really enjoyed all of them; jumbo shrimps with spicy sauce was something I missed from Asia, they have Philippino chef no wonder it is tasty ; beautiful cozy interior design and great music, attention to details (candles, cold water, friendly staff). If you want to spend quality time and try something truly delicious you must visit it. I will be back for sure .

If you're on the hunt for an exciting nightlife experience in Istanbul, look no further than BEAT. Nestled in the vibrant Taksim area, this club has been a staple of Beyoglu's nightlife scene for nearly ten years. With its eclectic mix of EDM, RnB, and Reggaeton beats spread across three lively floors, BEAT offers a fantastic atmosphere to dance and socialize. While it can get a bit crowded—especially on weekends—the energy is infectious.
Good music, great atmosphere, regular prices. We had a great night here. The DJ was great switching between EDM and R’n’B and the atmosphere was awesome. Beer bottle (Boho* unfiltered) was smaller than in other places we went to but generally fair prices.

Nestled next to the lively Istiklal walking street in Taksim, Istanbul, Corner Irish Pub is a popular old-school destination offering a convivial ambiance and an array of draft beers. The pub features a cool outdoor patio that spills out onto the street, making it an ideal spot for pre-drinks and socializing before experiencing Istanbul's nightlife. With its warm and cozy vibe, welcoming staff, and delicious food menu, this pub is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
This is classic good pub food and great beers, the food even better than most. The staff works incredibly hard to ensure quick service and the atmosphere is exactly as advertised. I will definitely be returning as we are staying just down the street. Thanks guys!

Only place I could find around the galata tower that played the last day of premier league football at 6pm. Me and my partner were greeted nicely by security but the bartenders gave us some “booky” vibes, we did not feel welcomed at all. There were no table seats available so we found ourselves sitting by the bar in which the first bartender was very hesitant to let us sit there for 90mins to watch the football, as if it was only reserved for local people or those wanting to watch basketball. They had a good amount of screens to watch different types of sport like football,basketball and F1 but it’s at their own rotation so no point asking whether it’s possible to change channels, maybe on a quieter day you might get a bit of the Irish luck perhaps. They have plenty of different types of alcohol available including draught beer without any foam. I would have stayed to eat as the food served around me looked pleasing but service put me off big time.

Had a great time at the pub – all staff were friendly, welcoming, and super attentive. a special shoutout goes to FERIT, who went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after. Only one small suggestion: the espresso lemon martini combo didn’t quite hit the mark for me – maybe something to reconsider on the cocktail menu. Otherwise, everything else was spot on. Will definitely be back!

I accidentally found out this place😅. Awesome place. Good crowd.very nice place to sit and grab beer with nice music. The ambience, atmosphere was super cool, you feel the vibe of place. Lighting is really enjoyable. There are high chairs are available for bar. The menu is quite good and long. Not much expensive. There are many options for cocktails, beers and other hard drinks. Margarita 🍹 is nice one. The best part waiters are so polite, kind and speaks English as in some of bar English is a language problem. You can find out many nationalities in the crowd. They have some indoor games too darting that I love to play again and again. There are outside sitting arrangements also available, if you are a smoker better to prefer outside sitting area as inside they don't allowed smoking. I have only one complain about music. Although music is so nice, but they do not accept your song request, one middle age guy working on music side is not able to understand English and not ready to accept song request, so all over once you enter you will love it and able to enjoy your time with your friends for sure. For food there are many options are available, if someone want to eat Only vegetarian food the options are available. So if you are at,Taksim, Istanbul must visit this place. Only 2 complains 1 no smoking inside sitting..why?? 2 why they don't accept song request? Why?? All over place,ambience, service,food,menu,bartenders all are really awesome. Must visit place if you are in love with beer. I will definitely visit this place again and again.

Fantastic place to watch premier league football around the Fatih area. Definitely a quieter vibe than being in around the Taksim area. We stayed in the Magnaura House Hotel across the road which was conveniently chosen so that we could catch up with the football whilst we were on holiday. Waiters were very polite and welcoming. They even changed the channel for us to accommodate the team we wanted to watch. Great draught beer. They give you fresh tasty popcorn along with your beer order. There is also a foosball table to keep some idle hands busy.

Nestled in the vibrant Sli district, Flekk is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable nightlife experience in Istanbul. This stylish venue boasts a sleek and minimalistic design that creates an artistic ambiance perfect for enjoying electronic music and live DJ sets. The atmosphere strikes a balance between upscale sophistication and relaxed comfort, making it particularly popular among the city's trendy youth. As you step into Flekk, you're enveloped by a welcoming warmth reminiscent of returning to an old favorite spot.
One of the few craft cocktail bars in the city that doesn’t have cocktails with just gin and syrup. There is an actual effort to balance the flavours. The bourbon cocktails Morklagga and Godafoss were great. The ambiance was also on point. It was chill and moody with a great ambient playlist. Will be coming back.

My two friends and I had high hopes for FLEKK. We love a quality cocktail and seek out the best in every city we visit. Walking in, this small space with dark lighting and a statue behind the bar looked promising...until a DJ started setting up. Is this place a little over the top? Yes, it is. The menu seems robust with a focus on more sweet and sour drinks. Within minutes, we were sipping cocktails. None of us loved our drinks. The St. Martin was watered down. The chocolate negroni was average.

We went for a drink before dinner, and it was just what we were looking for. Quiet and comfortable atmosphere for conversation. An interesting selection of cocktails. We all got whisky-based drinks - mine was the Bærre, very smooth as advertised and a little sweeter than I expected, but very nice. My friends both got the Goðafoss - exactly as advertised, very smoky! Overall a very nice way to spend an hour.

Funky cocktail bar. I had the Gyøre, which was tasty but not cold enough (maybe glass not kept in fridge). Didn’t really experience any service so can’t comment on that. The cocktail was equivalent to AUD24 so in line with international prices and not local. Worth checking out and there’s probably more of a vibe later in the evening (I was there around 6.30).

Basically, the staff treat you badly, from the security to the bartender, owner etc, including all kinds of discrimination. I think it’s because they have an abundance of customers.

Very weird bartender, that asked me to tell my order to another person, just for that other person to talk to the bartender about the order. They also let you stand there and wait, looking stupid, basically ignoring you for a bit and not being very approachable. The interiors over two floors (lower and upper) is great though and the drinks were fine. Good music too and the little balcony area was lovely. The server that brought our drinks was very nice as well.

For starters they have no signs outside, for the convent I think so its easy to miss if you are not using gps. My foreign friends brought me here to drink a couple pints and it was good. The music was a little loud in the up side seating area and we did not sit in the closed garden area because it was allowed to smoke down there (it’s a good thing) but my friend did not want to smell like cigarettes. It was fine. Seats were comfy. My only complaint would be that I wanted to change the type of liquor in my drink because I don’t like melon liquor but they said they couldn’t do it but they could take the melon one out. I still paid the same price. The staff looked a little confused for some reason maybe we came across newbies idk. It’s a little pricey for the cocktails but the rest of the menu is average-ish. Most of the customers are foreigners. It’s an ok place to go I would go there again if my friends wanted to go. Fun fact-ish: lots and lots of stickers on the paper towel dispensers in the toilet.And lots of drawings. Artsy vibes.

This has been one of my favorite places in Kadikoy for many years. It has a cute outdoor seating space that is heated. Inside it has 2 floors. The top floor is more like a living room where you can sit and talk and downstairs they usually have a dj so you can dance. They mostly play electronic music and sometimes have live gigs. Definitely a very cool crowd. Sometimes its hard to get in especially if you try to go there late.

Such a fun experience! We started at a lively pub, then jumped on a party-minibus and went to three clubs, so a whole night was full of good music and energy 🎉 Lea was an amazing tour guide and really brought everyone together, so it felt more like going out with a group of friends than a bunch of strangers. She always kept an eye on everyone and has a real talent to move a group of partying people from one place to the next, so no one ever felt lost or left out. In one club she even surprised a group member with a cake and sparklers! Super fun, warm character and always smiling! :) So if you want to explore Istanbul’s nightlife and don’t know the city that well yet, this is definitely the way to do it!

I had such a great time on this pub crawl! The night was well-organized, and it was the perfect mix of exploring different bars, meeting new people, and enjoying a lively atmosphere. Each stop had its own vibe—some with great music, others with fun drinks and plenty of space to mingle. The hosts kept the energy high, made sure everyone felt included, and guided us smoothly from place to place.

Reina is a renowned entertainment venue located in Istanbul, Turkey, and has gained international acclaim since its opening on January 17th, 2002. Situated near the Bosphorus Bridge in Ortakoy, this upscale club attracts elite clientele including investment bankers and A-listers from the USA. The two-story establishment features a high-end restaurant known for its Middle Eastern cuisine and stunning views of the Bosphorus.
I visited the restaurant and club in may 2014, excellent food and service, excellent music and dj,very safe to stay in late. however it was very difficult to get in, I went twice and they did not let me in, third time we had to pay 75 TKL admission fees per person plus what you drink inside. fourth time I made dinner reservation at 9 then I enjoyed the club, it is the best thing to do. the restaurant is an outdoor place on the bosphoure, it is expensive and you have to dress well.

The venue is amazing but the things happened to us 3 girls are unbelievable. Even though you are buying tons of drinks staff is trying to screw you over. Each barmen apparently have made up their own drink prices. There were many Arabic and Azerbaijani people. One Arabic man offered my friend money to spend the night with him. She was so mad we couldn't cheer her up anymore. The other friend got sent outside because she was dancing and having conversation with an Azerbaijani girl and her boyfriend got jealous. Our friends from Istanbul did warn us for the crowd going there but we didn't know it was this bad. We have been to many upper class clubs we live in the heart of Amsterdam and never got treated like this. It was unbelievable. Go somewhere else especially if it is girls night out. Klein has much better crowd and staff of Sortie is much nicer. Luckily we went one day before new year's eve and didn't make our new year's eve horrible. The venue is not worth the arrogance of the staff and the crowd going there.

They steal your credit card! This place is a total ripoff. Ask for prices before you order dinner because otherwise they will up sell you like crazy! And they steal your cc. I gave my card after dinner and bank called an hour later saying that someone had attempted 20+ times to make transactions online in the US!

This place was recommended because it has great views. This is true, but like any popular big club, there are a couple of things to keep in mind -If you are a group of guys, good luck getting in without spending major cash -Want a nice table with a couch? Get ready to shell out lots of $$$ for bottle service -Drinks = expensive

Event venue
The Whirling Dervishes, also known as Sufi whirling, is a traditional practice of the Mevlevi Order originating from followers of the 13th-century poet Rumi. This spiritual ceremony involves a mesmerizing performance that combines meditation, prayer, and movement to celebrate and praise God. The dancers, dressed in long circular coats, engage in a physical meditation that dates back over 700 years.
Soo interesting to see such a cultural heritage. Most of people who did not enjoy the show simply have made no reading in a regard to the culture, heritage & spirituality of this ethnicity. It was amazing for me !!

It was a fight to stay awake through the show. The whole thing was extremely boring and repetitive - from the music to the whirling. The “event hall” was located very centrally but had zero atmosphere and was not suitable for this at all. Most of the guests were snoozing throughout. Would not recommend.

I have been wanting to see this for years. It was a 5 minute walk from my hotel, how perfect. The room is an old hall with chairs laid out around the outside, you are seated and given tea. It starts on time with three gentlemen coming out and playing music. It was lovely to hear… it did last for 35 minutes of the one hour show/meditation/ceremony. There is 5 minutes after they play to change clothes then start up again where the men in their traditional wear come out and prepare for the whirling. For 25 minutes we watched and listened to this beautiful ceremony.

The atmosphere was amazing. We fell in love with the view specially in the sunset. Also, the food was delicious and the options were quite varied so there were lots of different choices.

A new favorite for me, we had a late lunch and I was surprised they were even open at 3:30 in the afternoon but apparently that is a thing for them, it wasn’t too busy so we had the chance to be cared for properly.

We will be returning every time we go to Istanbul.

250€ for Sushi I recently ordered a sushi platter from this restaurant, and I must say it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had. The platter included two types of sushi made with imitation crab (crab sticks), and both were bland, lacking freshness and flavor. Honestly, the entire selection felt thrown together, with no real attention to quality or authenticity. The prices are ridiculously high for what you get. This place is severely overrated — you’re essentially paying a premium for mediocre food and the illusion of a high-end experience. There was absolutely nothing memorable or satisfying about the meal, and I left feeling like I wasted both my money and time. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually knows how to prepare good sushi and respects their customers.

This is obviously a splurge. Steep on a hilltop, the outdoor setting and the view of the Asian side of Istanbul and the Bosporus in between makes everything else seem more gorgeous. The food is good, just a notch short and could have been great. Service is relatively quick but getting them during a weekend dinner is tough. It’s a steep price, do take a cigar to enjoy.

360° panoramic views from this prestigious restaurant make it one of the best venues in Istanbul for enjoying a night out. With delicious Turkish and international cuisine, as well as a decadent bar, 360 is an ideal place to spend a leisurely evening with friends. The club opens up its doors every weekend to allow visitors to enjoy top-of-the-line DJs and dancers performing all night long.
It's a great place. The food is delicious. We ordered mushroom steak, and it was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed it very much. Look at our plate. The cocktails are also delicious. Don't miss out on visiting this place. Huseyin is kind, thank you.

I had a birthday dinner at the 360° Panorama Restaurant in Istanbul, and while the setting and company made it special, the overall experience was not entirely worth the high price. The atmosphere was quiet, and the panoramic views added charm, though the sunset view wasn’t as spectacular as expected due to surrounding buildings. The service was warm, and I appreciate Kenan’s attentiveness throughout the evening. However, the food quality did not match the pricing. I ordered a steak lab, but it wasn’t adequately cooked or served hot. Additionally, my husband noted that the restroom was not well-maintained, which detracted from the experience. While the evening was memorable because it was my birthday and I was with my husband, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for those seeking high-quality food that justifies the cost.

Overpriced for the level of service and food. Make sure you check the menu before going up to the 6th floor, prices start at 1250+ for the most basic dishes with no sides even though they are listed as mains. We had some frozen shrimps in plain butter and a chicken kebab which was tasty but paid twice as much as other places even though quality was not any better or even worse. We came mostly expecting a nice view, but with no reservation we got a corner table away from the windows. Service was also not that good, we got treated with paper napkins after noticing our table was missing the cloth ones everyone else had.

The rooftop terrace is by far the best feature of this restaurant – the view is absolutely stunning and creates a truly memorable atmosphere, especially at sunset. It’s a perfect spot for taking photos or simply enjoying the city skyline from above. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the setting. The dishes we ordered were quite bland and lacked flavor, which was disappointing given the beautiful location. The drinks were also underwhelming – not nearly as good as those we had at other places nearby. Overall, it’s worth visiting for the view alone, but I wouldn’t come back for the food or drinks.

We visited House Cafe in Ortaköy for breakfast and had a pleasant experience. The staff was accommodating and secured us a lovely table by the sea. The restaurant is spacious, offering various seating options. There are cozy tables for two near the shore for coffee, and ample indoor and outdoor seating for lunch and dinner. We ordered scrambled eggs, a rocca pizza, quinoa salad with avocado, and a chicken wrap. While the atmosphere was enjoyable, the prices felt a bit high relative to the quality of the food. The scrambled eggs lacked seasoning, the rocca pizza had a delightful Italian-style dough, but the salad could have used more dressing to enhance its flavor. The chicken wrap was overwhelmed with radish sauce and contained too many lettuce , while the grilled chicken portion was on the smaller side. Our total bill was 3,380 TL, including service. Overall, it's a nice spot located next to the cruise ship station.

The place is in an amazing location. Right next to the bosphorus, to the extent that you can feed the seagulls with your food. But that's about it. We were here for a breakfast. The food is not really something, the service is quite poor with the inexperienced waiters and the prices are absurdly high, like two filter coffees would equal a breakfast dish. Kind of a "nice for tourists" place.

Very aggressive waiters asking for tips. The bill has a 12% automatic gratuity on that but despite that the waiters ask for tips. Management should make it a policy that waiters are not allowed to ask for tips. At times They tell you the credit card machine is not working and then ask you to pay in cash They also will ask for tips even after me pointing out that there is a service charge added to the bill already. They say the service charge is for the kitchen staff. Food was burnt and did not taste good and also was served cold. Only good thing is the atmosphere and views If you ask for butter with the bread they serve, they charge for that too but only tell you afterwards. Been here a few times, but this is the last time im coming. There are Much better places to eat at which are also much cheaper. I like places With no games when it comes time to pay the bill.

The rooftop location is impressive, and the service was polite and attentive. The food was generally good, though not particularly memorable. Given that the restaurant holds a Michelin star, expectations were understandably high — both in terms of culinary refinement and overall dining experience. Unfortunately, the atmosphere during our visit did not reflect the level of sophistication typically associated with Michelin-starred establishments. The environment was lively to the point of being loud, which detracted from the otherwise elegant setting. In our view, a restaurant of this distinction should consistently deliver not only quality cuisine, but also a well-curated ambiance in line with its reputation. A few adjustments in this direction would better align the experience with the standards expected at this level.

The place is cool with a great decoration. We had some beers and snacks. We tried a different taste: Asna visne which is a specific, sour beer and we liked it a lot. Although we liked the atmosphere, the prices are very high when it comes to drinks. Not sure how long Turkey survives with these prices but sad to see that it’s treated as normal..

Great pub with interesting features and a great shaded beer garden out the back. Good selection of craft ales but very expensive. The large beer is only 40cl and around £7.50 so getting on for £10 a pint. A good place to visit but probably only once unless throwing money away is your thing.

Great pub. We were there during the day, about after opening, so there were no other customers except us. Slightly more average beers on tap, but the selection of bottled beers in the fridge is super. Friendly, helpful, attentive staff. Good place!

A very nice place, very graphic, good variety of beers, mostly Turkish, but very good especially since i wanted to try the local brew s, the garden was nice, the stuff helpful, the prices a bit high, about 10 euros per beer,but from what i understand, things are like that in Turkey now. Anyway if you are in the area i highly recommend it.

This is a late review of my visit on August 21st. This bar is ideal for any craft beer enthusiast as they have a huge selection of local craft beers from multiple breweries. You can order beer flights to try as many of them as you'd like. On top of beers, they also serve beer cocktails as well as regular cocktails. They also have food. We did not order much, but what we had was decent. The place has an outdoor patio, an outdoor beer garden and the indoor seating. The vibe is cool, we liked how the place was decorated. The only problem we encountered is that we came right at the opening time and there was no English speaking staff, so we had to resort to Google Translate. But it worked in the end. I will recommend this place if you're into craft beers.

Sensus Wine Boutique Galata is a charming spot near the historic Galata Tower, offering an extensive selection of wines by the glass or bottle and delectable light bites like bread and cheese plates. This world-class wine shop not only boasts a wide range of local cheeses and reasonably priced wine bottles but also serves its own wine brand. The venue provides a true nightlife experience with live music and luxurious dining.
Stopped in for a wine flight, generous bartender introduced 2 extra styles as well. The cheese plate was a nice addition to the tasting. Great ambiance and decor.

Sad experience . No guests but understandable although the only label vine displayed and offered in the house is from Yanik Ulke. We had one glass of the red wine and some olives. Needless to say the wine was not very good and by this standard hapless overpriced. They offer an online wine menu without any price tags and a printed vine menu in which there was only 1 in 5 of the red wines sold by the glass available. 4 people 3000 lira.

About ten years ago we rented a flat near Sensus. We only bought wine to bring up to the flat at that time and never dined in. This visit to istanbul we were happy to find the shop still open and had a very nice time chatting with friends over a bottles of wine and dessert. We did not try the food. Compared to the tourist/selfie chaos around Galata tower, Sensus is an oasis of cool and calm. It was not buse the night we visited and we were very well looked after by the waiter. I will go back the next time I am in Istanbul.

I liked this place, and I’ve been there twice a week. Their food (salad, bolognese, cheesecake) was good. Their wine was excellent. We tried pyramid, miratus, and shiraz - I liked them all, but pyramid was the best. If you consider it a wine-tasting place with an atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed. With that being said, I think certain customers will find this place expensive. I thought the prices were reasonable.

With its stylish open-air terrace, the bar provides stunning panoramic views of the Old City and beyond. Guests can savor an extensive selection of classic and signature cocktails, a diverse range of whiskies, and local as well as international wines. Additionally, a unique assortment of finger foods complements the beverage offerings.
The perfect place to end a day in Istanbul. One of the best roof top bar we’ve ever visited. Located on the top floor of Bank Hotel you’ll be met with an incredible view (especially at sunset!) and fantastic service. The vibe is chill and you can stay for a long time just to take in the view and the atmosphere. We ended up coming back here several times during our week in town. The cocktails are superb, I highly recommend the Espresso Martini and the Gin Sour. Definitely don’t miss out on this place!

One of the coolest rooftop restaurants and bars I’ve been to in a different city! The drinks were actually insanely delish I had 2 different ones. Also had the 2 Turkish local cuisine style food options which were both so yummy. Live DJ on the roof was playing great music and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Definitely on the more expensive side but worth it.

Roof bar of a fancy hotel in Karaköy. The lobby, restaurant and roof bar is well designed. You will enjoy the interior especially if you have any connection with design or architecture. The terrace is not very big but has wide and comfortable couches. It is possible to find better views of İstanbul but still nice to watch the rush below. We have ordered Italian rose wine with cheese and fruit plates. They also serve some snacks (some kind of dried green peas, olive, and cashew) Cheese selection was not my type but cheese plate was good. Fruit plate was rich, unfortunatelly melon was about to rotten that we could get sour taste. Prices are over average, even higher than Europe. And they also add %15 service fee and another additional fee which is not clear. As a local, I suggest to find more reasonable place with better view.

Such a beautiful view it’s definitely worth coming!! During the day and at night, it’s beautiful. I only took off a star because cocktails and drinks are very expensive, we each got a martini and it wasn’t in a martini glass and had ice in it with orange and lemon slices (which is definitely not a martini) so it was two sips for around 550 lira each which is so pricey for two sips. So we split a bottle of wine for 2000 lira instead which is way more worth it than the cocktails. I recommend coming here for food and bottles of wine for the view and super comfy chairs. The view is incredible with the Bosporus and mosques!!!

I went to Ayi Kadıköy with a friend on a Wednesday evening, hoping for a relaxed night with some music and a fun atmosphere. At first, everything was great—there weren’t many people, and we were vibing, dancing, and enjoying the music. However, things quickly took a disappointing turn. The staff suddenly stopped serving us drinks without explanation, and then they told us we couldn’t dance in the middle of the venue—despite the area being empty and others still dancing. It felt like they just wanted us out for no reason, even though we were respectful and not causing any trouble. In this day and age, there’s no excuse for this kind of discriminatory treatment, especially in a space that’s supposed to be welcoming. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend Ayi Kadıköy to anyone looking for a place with a positive vibe.

I’m a VERY good club consumer. I usually spend $1000-$2000 per night. I came on the 06/08/25, night to the 07/08/25, and the security guys told me to go away after $100 spent, saying I was too drunk, after taking me to a other table far from the DJ. Maybe I was, but I had the intention to spend way (way way) more. If you are a good club spender, don’t go there, absolutely. (especially in Europe, it’s cheap), I don’t recommand it all, they don’t respect you, whatever you spend). I’ll delete this review if they say I’ll have gifts to for give it.

Great place, been there one time but it's definately my favourite in Istanbul! There is a good selection of beer as in any bar around but there is also a good and interesting selection of cocktails which are also very well made. The food was great- fresh and delicious, we had a pizza with teriyaki beef and though we took some ingredients out it was still amazing- thin and crispy and the meat was very tasty, a salad which was big and well seasoned and with fresh and crunchy vegetables and chicken tacos which honestly weren't anything special but at least were spicy enough to keep my taste buds entertained. A part from the food and drinks, the space itself is unique and very well designed, the music was also great. It can get crowded in the open area but inside is nice and fresh, there is aircon which is a blessing in the Istanbul summer nights. Overall even though it's a little bit pricey I can't wait to go back and try more, if you are in the area go check it out, as they wrote on the menu- the Joker will serve you well ;)

The venue features upbeat music, live sports on TV, and a selection of international comfort food alongside craft beers and cocktails.
We were happy we went to Bebek and experienced this upscale neighborhood. Taps Bebek had great pub food and a wonderful view at the top. We sat at the bottom and were still able to enjoy a nice view. Food was great and portions were huge! (The picture of the dish we ordered was for two)

Firstly the service here amazing, manager was very polite and pleasant. The food was great, their cheesecake is a must try! So is their falafel avocado salad. You can see amazing view from second floor. If you are in Babek, it’s a nice place to have dinner and girls night out x

Taps Bebek is the perfect spot for any mood! It’s great for a date with its cozy vibe, but also fun if you wanna hang out in the back garden, watch a football match, and enjoy their tasty cocktails. A place where you can chill, drink, and have a good time

An incredible place to enjoy the serenity of Bebek! Great location with lovely views of the marina and Bosphorus, and the beer was reasonably priced and tasty. We did the flight first which was great value and then went from there. Didn’t try the food but a lot of folks around us ordered stuff that looked appetizing.

Yes, yes and yes, you have to come here for the food! I'm not a beer person so no comment on that area but the food is simply oooh la la! Beautifully seasoned and cooked - truly perfection. We had turkey entrecot and in-and-out burger both of which were incredible. Enjoy bebek sea and scrumptious food here!

Night club
Klein Phönix, a part of the Klein Entertainment group in Istanbul, is a prominent club with a capacity for 3500 people. It is renowned for hosting international DJs and performers and boasts original designs and captivating shows. The venue offers an exceptional experience with its professional speakers, dedicated DJ booth space, and techno music events held weekly. While some guests have noted inconveniences such as smoking near the stage, many have praised the friendly staff, great sound system, and spacious dance floor.
I loved the place, the team was quite friendly, they asked us where we were from, guided us throughout. The bouncers did have a no nonsense look but that’s obviously very important to ensure safety of the people. The visuals, the air conditioning, the sound and the people were all great. Would definitely come back here if I ever visit Istanbul again!

The staff here (and in other Klein group clubs in Istanbul) aren't exactly known for their warm hospitality. Their attitude towards customers often falls short of the welcoming Turkish hospitality you might expect, whether you're at the door getting your ticket checked or inside trying to enjoy yourself. We saw a few people with tickets being turned away at the entrance, apparently because of how they looked or what they were wearing. Once you're inside, there are so many bodyguards staring at you that it's hard to relax and have fun - it's not clear what they're actually guarding against. The worst part of this place is that they allow smoking inside. After a couple of hours, you end up smelling like a giant walking cigarette. By the end of the night, it gets really bad - the smoke builds up and your eyes start stinging if you're not used to it. If you can overlook the staff's attitude, dress fancy enough to get in, manage to ignore the bodyguards, and don't mind sacrificing your health for 4-5 hours, you can actually have a great time and enjoy the music.

The location shows the entrance incorrectly. The entrance is right near Shell station with no clear markings! If I could, I would give negative stars. This is the worst 1250 TL I have ever spent in my entire life. The crowd is just weird, too many men. Like, +85% I’d say. No drinks, even water is not allowed but everyone can smoke their stinky cheap cigarettes in a poorly ventilated environment for some reason unbeknownst to even the brightest minds of our species. The ventilation being the other guests’ fans. The security has invaded my entire bag unlike anywhere else. Like, grabbed my makeup and didn’t let go until I asked if I could keep my makeup at least. Oh and don’t expect to find your belongings ever again because they’re not keeping track! Every belonging stays in the same place with no name tags or number tags. Oh and they take mints too. I had to really persevere and get 4 of the staff involved just to get my stuff back. The staff inside are alright, typical Istanbul club staff rudeness, nothing extreme. The environment is just so not worth it. I immediately wanted to go home. And I see in the reviews that many people have had very similar or even worst experiences. Go spend your hard earned 1250 TL on a Mango dress or happy hour at Gina, you’ll be much happier. And if you insist on spending it at a club, go to Kastel and get yourself 2 beers while at it for God’s sake.
Şevval S — Google review
I found it appropriate to list the points I was not satisfied one by one, because there are quite a few. I would like to mention I knew this venue does not have great service previously, the reason we went there was the Polo&pan event. First point: At the entrance, we were initially told that we couldn’t enter the VIP section wearing slippers, but then we were allowed in after someone in charge approved our footwear lol. As a footnote, I’d like to clarify they weren’t house slippers or open-toe beach flip-flops so they were appropriate to wear in a place like this. Second point: At the entrance, the bag controls were worse than at an airport. The staff literally snatched the bags out of our hands and started searching them. While we understand the need for security, I am a Type 1 diabetic and must carry a glucometer (blood sugar measuring device) and glucose tablets with me at all times—these tablets are used to prevent sudden drops in blood sugar. The way they treated me, as if I was trying to sneak in the most bizarre items in the world, and the incredibly rude manner in which they did it, is reason enough not to go again. Third point: The so-called cocktails they sold were ridiculously overpriced and contained only trace amounts of alcohol. When you want to get a beer to drink at least some alcohol we were told we can only get beer from the regular bar where the queue was insane. And I would like to underline the fact that this was the reason we got VIP tickets, turns out there is no point of getting them. Fourth point: When we stepped outside to smoke or get some fresh air, the staff literally chased us back in, ordering us to go inside in an extremely rude manner. This alone is another sufficient reason not to go again. Fifth and final point: All the toilets were clogged and filthy. If you’re selling a bottle of water for 250 TL, one would expect the restrooms to meet basic hygiene and sanitary standards. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

It’s an underground style nightclub. Decent light and sound system. It is sweaty, you can’t go outside anywhere, smoking inside but I kind of think this is what you’d expect from this scene in Istanbul. There were lots of single men there and you have to be a little careful. Plenty of staff there and you don’t feel unsafe at all.
Matthew G — Google review
We had a terrible experience at Klein Phonix in Istanbul. Despite purchasing tickets in advance through Resident Advisor, we were denied entry at the door simply because we were three friends, one of whom is gay. This kind of discriminatory and unprofessional behavior is unacceptable, especially at a venue that sells tickets online in advance. No refund, no explanation, just a humiliating experience. If you care about fair treatment and respect, avoid this club.
Rodrigo F — Google review
I feel bad for the DJs from abroad for choosing this place. I generally avoid going here if my favorite DJs come, simply because of Klein's mediocrity. The atmosphere is terrible. The sound system is mediocre and inadequate. The atmosphere is incredibly stuffy. Smoking is allowed indoors. It's 2025, and smoking should never be allowed indoors out of respect for other audience members. I assure you, this is Arizona's jungle of lizards and hyenas. But it's a jungle without air. :) Their organizational skills are nil. I'd say it's the most ridiculous place you could possibly go to. If you want to do this job properly, please get your act together. Otherwise, no self-respecting person would go to a concert or performance here. You'd be suffocated by the lack of air.
Cem A — Google review
This awful club lets you pay for a concert ticket, travel across multiple countries to attend, and then tells you at the door that you can’t come in because you’re not with any women. No warning, no explanation in advance — just a cold “you have to leave” and a vague promise to refund your money later. Why don’t you inform people of this when they’re buying the ticket? It’s a disgrace. A disgrace not only for the club, but also for the artists who agree to perform in a place like this.

Monkey Istanbul is a trendy rooftop bar located in the vibrant neighborhoods of Besiktas and Beyoglu in Istanbul. It offers a laid-back atmosphere with eclectic decor, vibrant colors, and enchanting views of the Bosphorus and Golden Horn. The bar is known for its wide range of cocktails, including inventive creations, and features DJ sets that add to the lively ambiance.
Excellent and unique cocktails with a fantasti view. Rustic furniture but excellent soundtrack with live DJ even when we went on a Thursday night which made a great atmosphere even though it wasn't too busy. They were playing deep house with a Turkish influence! Plus the staff were nice and even offered to take out photo whilst we were there. A great place to watch the sun set over the golden horn! Would definitely go again. We also went to Istanbul360 which was way overpriced and the view wasn't anywhere near as good. Go to Monkeyistanbul instead!

The view is great. It is one of the best top bars in Istanbul. Cocktails include minimum amount of alcohol. Try the dry ones. If you need a view-by spot, you should ask. Hence the circulation is high, they put you in a good place. The crowd is ok. The music is somehow boring but generally popular world hits.

Awful service and very overpriced drinks. Was told they have no mocktails as all the cocktails are ‘ready made’. Was charged 300 TL for the smallest glass of water and waiter completely ignored us throughout. Was just given a card machine with no bill at the end and told service charge could not be removed. I’m sure there are other bars with great views and better service.

If this would be a spot for the view 5/5, but it is a bar with overprized cocktails, and the taste is below average. Waiters are moody, dont show you the amount on the point of sale where you pay. Mine had a slight difference. Service charge is added next to the price on the menu. One mojito, one aperol = 27 Euro Great view, good music.

Paelin — Google review
The place is quite worn out. The average price for a cocktail is around 500 TRY, which is absolutely not justified. The cocktails are nothing more than much alcohol mixed with soda and ice - their real value shouldn’t be more than 100 TRY. Either the people visiting this place have no idea what a proper cocktail is, or the reviews here are simply fake and manipulated. The furniture is shabby and rather dirty. The only real upside is the location and the very friendly staff.

We were not aloud to enter the club with as reason because it is a “special party”. Very strange explaination, probably we were with 3 guys or we had to give them money to enter. Weird mentality. Afterwards we didn’t go there anymore, because we lost our interest.
J V — Google review
Despite the music being good the security is absolutely horrendous. I had frequented the place once before and I liked the vibe. But upon returning a second time with a different group of friends we got stopped because it was a “private party”. There was no private party. They just didn’t let my friends in because they were guys and because they were Kurdish. Techno/ house clubs are supposed to be a common inclusive space for everyone to have fun together. My friends got judged by their looks but they are very lovely people and the security of the place with their prejudice and entitlement should absolutely be fired. If I was running a place like this I would be EMBARRASSED that this is the first impression people get of the club before they even go in it. And judging by the review this is not an isolated event. Maybe the owners just don’t care either. Disgusting behaviour. If they are so scared of two 20 year old boys maybe they should consider another job. Do better. Do not recommend going if you have any moral values.

Not nice experience! I'm sure could be nice, if they allow you to enter. I went there coz friends recommend me, so I was curious to see it and I went there coz I know the artists that were playing this day. But unfortunately, we didn't even arrive to see it, coz from the outside area the bouncers told us that was a private party. And I was like: "this is not written anywhere". Then some other people came, they entered. So I asked them: how did you check they can enter?! The excuse was that the guy behind them knows. It's a private party. They repeated it, like parrots. At least you could invent a better excuse. Like the place is full sounds more nice than "is a private party" when there is no private party. Such a shame!!! You should be ashamed. But the shame comes just for people they can feel it. You just select some people randomly, without completely sense. As if listening to music should be something only for the few maybe looking good and rich you let in, because maybe they'll buy two more beers, according to you, or whatever very ugly reason you may have. You don't just represent yourself, you are part of Istanbul music scene, coz good artist come also there to play. Such a unpleasant experience!! But as I see from comments, it's a common management of this place.

Peat & Sherry Whisky Bar – A Classic Whisky Lounge Experience If you’re into classic whisky bars with an old-school charm, Peat & Sherry in Istanbul is a fantastic spot. The dim lighting, leather armchairs, and rich wooden interiors create a cozy, almost gentleman’s club-style atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy a good dram, and lose track of time in conversation. I tried a Japanese whisky flight with The Chita, Yamazaki, and Hibiki Harmony—each offering a unique experience. • The Chita is smooth and light, with subtle vanilla and floral notes. • Yamazaki brings more depth, with dried fruits and a hint of oak spice. • Hibiki Harmony is exactly that—harmonious, slightly sweet, and beautifully balanced. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable staff who know their whisky well. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just starting your whisky journey, this place is worth a visit. Great selection, classy vibe, and the perfect spot to unwind with a quality pour.

The drinks were reasonably priced for a luxury venue, and the cocktails were exceptionally well-crafted. The security team was top-notch—both professional and approachable. One of them even lit my cigarette when they noticed I was searching for my lighter, a small but thoughtful gesture that shows just how attentive and considerate they are. As for the music and DJ performances, they were nothing short of sublime. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Hi, I would like to share this experience I had today, as this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. Today, I was denied entry to the venue solely because I was alone. Despite engaging in several discussions and attempting different approaches, I was ultimately still refused entry. Having frequented clubs around the world, I have never encountered bouncers as rude and dismissive as those at this venue (manager: Berfin). The discriminatory policy, reflects poorly on the management of the club, especially given the negative reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, and Reddit, which already highlight the club’s declining reputation. On top, the club was notably underpopulated today (friends of mine went before me in), making this policy seem particularly unjustified. While I can understand the need for certain measures in cases where the club is overcrowded or male-dominated, I believe that an effective and well-trained staff should be able to assess individuals based on their demeanor, behavior, and overall fit for the environment - regardless of gender. I sincerely hope that the management reconsiders its current entry strategy and takes this feedback into account rather than disregarding it - Thank you!

Kumkapı Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane offers a quintessential Istanbul dining experience, where friends gather around bottles of raki and indulge in mezze before sharing a large seabass. Traditional Turkish music sets the scene for an evening filled with laughter, singing, and perhaps some melancholic moments - all part of the meyhane culture. Visitors express gratitude for the beautiful memories, delicious flavors, and impeccable service that create an unforgettable night.
(Translated by Google) While looking for a place to celebrate a birthday in Istanbul, we came across Kumkapı Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane, which offered an experience far beyond our expectations. I had one of the most enjoyable and special evenings of my life here, and that's why I didn't want to pass without putting my feelings in writing. If you want to make your special day meaningful and unforgettable, this is the right place! First of all, the attention and care they showed during the reservation made me feel at ease even before going. I had mentioned on the phone that it was a birthday and everything was ready when we went to the place. Our table was elegantly decorated, with small but very stylish details for the birthday. This elegance really impressed us at the beginning of the night. The sincerity you feel as soon as you step into the place is a feature that can be found in very few places in Istanbul. It's as if you are being greeted by friends you've known for years. The waiters are smiling, attentive and most importantly, far from being fake. They took close care of our table throughout the night, but they did it so professionally that we didn't feel uncomfortable for a moment. Every request we made was met immediately. Now let's get to the flavors... The appetizers are truly legendary! Each one is fresh, has plenty of ingredients and leaves a mark on the palate with its flavor. Especially the Cretan paste, roasted eggplant and sea beans were our favorites. The sea bass shish and lamb shish that we chose as the main course were perfect in both portion and taste. It turned into a feast with the roasted vegetables and appetizers that came with it. The hot halva that they brought for dessert was so good that it could even replace the birthday cake. The venue also made their own surprises specially for the birthday celebration, which made our night even more unforgettable. Of course, the most special part of the night was the live fasıl music. The musicians are really passionate about their jobs. The richness of the repertoire, sound quality and song selection were magnificent. Sometimes we felt sad, sometimes we sang along with the songs with enthusiasm. The orchestra announcing my name and the whole hall applauding during the birthday celebration was a moment that I will never forget in my life. The songs we sang with my friends, the laughter and the warm atmosphere turned into a night where time stopped. Sütliman is not just a tavern, it is a place where memories are written and friendships are strengthened. There is a smile on everyone's face, a sincere warmth. From the moment you enter, that ambiance embraces you. This beautiful place, integrated with the historical texture of Kumkapı, offers a magnificent experience for both locals and tourists. It is also quite successful in terms of price-performance. The prices are definitely very reasonable for this quality, these flavors and this service. There is no excess, everything is balanced and fair. This made us love the place even more. I would like to thank the Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane team from the bottom of my heart for providing such a sincere, warm, attentive and delicious experience. I experienced much more than a birthday. If you want an unforgettable evening, quality music, great appetizers and a magnificent atmosphere, do not hesitate to choose this place. Believe me, once you go, you will never be able to give it up. We are now regulars!

Eğer siz de özel bir gününüzü anlamlı ve unutulmaz kılmak istiyorsanız, burası tam anlamıyla doğru adres! Öncelikle rezervasyon sırasında gösterdikleri ilgi ve özen, daha gitmeden içimi rahatlattı. Telefonda doğum günü olduğunu belirtmiştim ve mekâna gittiğimizde her şey hazırdı. Masamız zarif bir şekilde süslenmişti, üzerinde doğum günü için küçük ama çok şık detaylar vardı.

Tüm gece boyunca masamızla yakından ilgilendiler ama bunu öyle profesyonelce yaptılar ki bir an bile rahatsız hissetmedik. Her isteğimiz anında yerine getirildi. Gelelim lezzetlere... Mezeler gerçekten efsane! Her biri taptaze, bol malzemeli ve lezzetiyle damakta iz bırakıyor. Özellikle Girit ezmesi, köz patlıcan ve deniz börülcesi favorimiz oldu. Ana yemek olarak tercih ettiğimiz levrek şiş ve kuzu şiş, hem porsiyon hem de tat olarak mükemmeldi. Yanında gelen közlenmiş sebzeler ve mezelerle birlikte adeta bir ziyafete dönüştü. Tatlı olarak getirdikleri sıcak helva ise doğum günü pastası yerine bile geçebilecek kadar güzeldi. Mekân, aynı zamanda doğum günü kutlamasına özel olarak kendi sürprizlerini de yaptı, bu da gecemizi daha da unutulmaz kıldı. Tabii ki gecenin en özel kısmı canlı fasıl müziğiydi. Müzisyenler işlerini gerçekten tutkuyla yapıyorlar. Repertuar zenginliği, ses kalitesi ve şarkı seçimleri muazzamdı. Yer yer hüzünlendik, bazen şarkılara coşkuyla eşlik ettik. Doğum günü kutlaması sırasında orkestranın adımı anons etmesi ve tüm salonun alkışlaması, hayatım boyunca unutamayacağım bir andı. Dostlarımla birlikte söylediğimiz şarkılar, kahkahalar ve o sıcacık atmosfer, adeta zamanın durduğu bir geceye dönüştü. Sütliman sadece bir meyhane değil, anıların yazıldığı, dostlukların pekiştiği bir mekân. Herkesin yüzünde bir tebessüm, içten bir sıcaklık var. İçeri girdiğiniz andan itibaren o ambiyans sizi sarıp sarmalıyor. Kumkapı’nın tarihi dokusuyla bütünleşen bu güzel yer, hem yerli halk hem de turistler için muazzam bir deneyim sunuyor. Fiyat-performans açısından da oldukça başarılı. Bu kaliteye, bu lezzetlere ve bu hizmete göre fiyatlar kesinlikle çok uygun. Hiçbir aşırılık yok, her şey dengeli ve adil. Bu da mekânı daha çok sevmemize neden oldu. Bu kadar içten, sıcak, özenli ve lezzetli bir deneyimi yaşattıkları için Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane ekibine yürekten teşekkür ediyorum. Bir doğum gününden çok daha fazlasını yaşadım. Eğer siz de unutulmaz bir akşam, kaliteli müzik, harika mezeler ve muazzam bir atmosfer istiyorsanız hiç düşünmeden burayı tercih edin. Emin olun bir kez gittiğinizde bir daha vazgeçemeyeceksiniz. Biz artık müdavimiyiz!

Dont go there is you cant pay USD in Istanbul. They are truly a scam. Even though I tried to be friendly with them and experience their culture I realized how cheap they are and there is no way you can change a cheap culture.

(Translated by Google) Located in the heart of Kumkapı, one of the historical districts of Istanbul, Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane is not just a tavern; it is a spiritual therapy, a magical atmosphere where friendships are strengthened, memories are engraved in the mind, and music and taste are intertwined. The pleasure I feel while writing this article may not be enough to describe the depth and quality of the experience I had, but I want to tell you as much as I can because Sütliman truly deserves the praise it deserves. First of all, the warmth and sincerity that greets you from the moment you step into the tavern makes you feel right away that this is not an ordinary establishment. The smiling staff greets you at the door, and interestingly, even though it is your first time there, you start chatting as if you have known them for years. This sincerity continues throughout the night and makes you feel both comfortable and special. The decoration is quite elegant and nostalgic. Wooden details, dim lighting, and carefully prepared presentations on the tables allow the venue to capture both a traditional and modern line. Especially the old Istanbul photos on the walls make you take a short journey into the past. Now let's talk about the flavors... The appetizer menu is a real feast of flavors! Each of the classic tavern appetizers is prepared with fresh ingredients and is successful enough to leave a mark on the palate. Especially appetizers such as atom, fava, Cretan paste and sea beans are a must-try. The grilled sea bass and shrimp in butter that we chose as our main course were fresh and cooked perfectly. Our friends who preferred meat were amazed by the softness of the beef Turkish delight and lamb shish. The roasted vegetables and special sauces that came with it were also complementary to the flavors. (Original) İstanbul’un tarihi semtlerinden biri olan Kumkapı’nın kalbinde yer alan Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane, sadece bir meyhane değil; adeta bir ruh terapisi, dostlukların pekiştiği, anıların hafızalara kazındığı, müziğin ve lezzetin iç içe geçtiği büyülü bir atmosfer. Bu yazıyı yazarken hissettiğim memnuniyet, yaşadığım deneyimin derinliğini ve kalitesini tarif etmeye yetmeyebilir ama elimden geldiğince anlatmak istiyorum çünkü Sütliman, gerçekten hak ettiği övgüyü fazlasıyla hak ediyor. İlk olarak meyhaneye adım attığınız andan itibaren sizi karşılayan sıcaklık ve samimiyet, buranın sıradan bir işletme olmadığını hemen hissettiriyor. Güler yüzlü personel sizi kapıda karşılıyor, ilginçtir ki ilk defa gitmiş olmanıza rağmen yıllardır tanıyormuş gibi bir muhabbet kuruluyor. Bu samimiyet, gece boyunca devam ediyor ve sizi hem konforlu hem de özel hissettiriyor. Dekorasyon oldukça zarif ve nostaljik bir çizgide. Ahşap detaylar, loş aydınlatma, masaların üzerindeki özenle hazırlanmış sunumlar, mekânın hem geleneksel hem de modern bir çizgi yakalamasını sağlıyor. Özellikle duvarlarda yer alan eski İstanbul fotoğrafları, geçmişe doğru kısa bir yolculuk yapmanıza vesile oluyor. Gelelim lezzetlere... Meze menüsü tam anlamıyla bir lezzet şöleni! Klasik meyhane mezelerinin her biri taptaze malzemelerle hazırlanmış ve damakta iz bırakacak kadar başarılı. Özellikle atom, fava, Girit ezmesi ve deniz börülcesi gibi mezeler mutlaka denenmeli. Ana yemek olarak tercih ettiğimiz ızgara levrek ve tereyağında karides ise taptaze ve kusursuz pişirilmişti. Et tercih eden arkadaşlarımız dana lokum ve kuzu şişin yumuşaklığına hayran kaldı. Yanında gelen közlenmiş sebzeler ve özel soslar da tatları tamamlayıcı nitelikteydi.

(Translated by Google) In a historical and touristic area like Kumkapı, it is one of the rare places where you can comfortably host both local and foreign guests. It is a great choice to spend a pleasant evening with your group of friends or to celebrate a special day. Sütliman is like a rhythm beating in the heart of Istanbul nights. The finale was perfect As for the dessert part, the hot halva served as a surprise crowned the night. It was simply perfect with its lightness and aroma spreading to the palate. You don't understand how time flies between these flavors accompanied by rakı. Moreover, all these presentations are prepared extremely hygienically, cleanly and meticulously. However, the most important element that makes Sütliman different and unforgettable is definitely the live fasıl team. The quality of the music, the sound system and the choice of repertoire are so meticulous that sometimes you can sing along to the songs and sometimes you can relax your soul by just listening. The fasıl team manages to draw the listener into the songs. Especially the Turkish classical music and arabesque repertoires take you on an emotional journey. So much so that sometimes your eyes fill with tears, sometimes you cheer up with laughter. Another big plus of Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane is the importance they give to customer satisfaction. There is an employee with you at all times, asking if there is anything missing or if you have any requests; but they do this with sincere politeness, not in an annoying way.

İster arkadaş grubunuzla keyifli bir akşam geçirmek, ister özel bir günü kutlamak için harika bir seçim. Sütliman, adeta İstanbul gecelerinin kalbinde atan bir ritim gibi.

(Translated by Google) As the indispensable address of music and live performance, Sütliman Fasıl Meyhane offers its guests unforgettable moments with its fasıl nights. Performing the most distinguished examples of traditional Turkish music, the artists bring the energy of the tavern to its peak the moment they step on the stage.

Fasıl performances not only offer a musical feast; It also stands out as a reflection of our culture, traditions and experiences.

Geleneksel Türk müziğinin en seçkin örneklerini seslendiren sanatçılar, sahneye adım attıkları anda meyhanenin enerjisini doruğa çıkarıyor. Her nota, her ezgi, dinleyenleri geçmişin derinliklerine, Anadolu’nun en eski ezgilerine doğru bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor.
