Our Recommendations for Istanbul

Must Do

Bars and night life recommended by our Turkish friends

  • Balkon
    Taksim Asmali Mescit.
    From the terrace there is the Goldon Horn view. To sit down and have a drink.
  • Sanat
    At Taksim Nevizade (close to cicek pasaji).
    Affordable prices. To sit down and have a trink, no dancing.
  • Kiki
    Towards Cihangir, across German Hospital (Alman Hastanesi).
    Small, nice place with garden. After 11pm they rearrange/remove the tables so that it is more of a party place then.
  • Murekkep
    At Taksim, near Tunel area.
    Nice place with a different style. Especially on Fridays to Sundays, after 11pm it becomes a party place. Mostly young people are there. There is a very beautifully decorated openair terrace called  "curcuna", but not sure if it will be open by then.
  • Aperativo
    At Taksim Asmali Mescit.
    A nice place to have a drink with aparetives but a bit pricey.
  • Karakoy Bej
    A bit more pricey, for those looking for a more stylish place. There are parties in the evenings but need to check for particular dates.
  • Babylon
  • Plenty of places in the Asmali Mescit area.
