    nice staff, design and vibes, prices are quite pleasant too! but I'm not coming back 100%. No ventilation makes the place hard to breath in! people are smoking inside, I couldn't breath even though there was a No Smoking sign on the walls in my room. After coming back home couldn't just zoom out, because everything from my hair to my underwear smelled so intensely. Had to wash the clothes and take a shower being totally beat at 3am, haha

    Passed this place everyday thinking it was just a janky, run of the mill Irish pub. Yes, it's a good spot for a Guinness but they also have one of the most extensive beer lists I've seen in the city and prices are reasonable too. Now I feel sheepish for not going sooner.

    I don’t agree with most people saying it has a calm and relax atmosphere. The building is nice and there is an interesting vibe but I found it a bit overwhelming after few minutes. It was too dark and too crowded.

    (Translated by Google) The bar with the best atmosphere, decoration, ambiance - no matter what you say - is indisputable. I had the feeling of sitting somewhere in a different world and drinking. It reminded me of the place where the hobbits met Kolcu (Aragorn) like the Inn's in Skyrim or in Middle Earth :) I think the effect of the burning fireplace in Karga is very much. I'm sure I will come again. I would also like to spend time on the upper floor. (Original) Son zamanlarda gördüğüm en iyi atmosfere, dekorasyona, ambiyansa -artık ne derseniz deyin- sahip bar burası tartışmasız. Farklı bir dünyadan bir yerde oturup içiyormuş hissine kapıldım. Skyrim'deki Inn'ler gibi ya da Middle Earth'te hobbitlerin Kolcu'yla (Aragorn) tanıştıkları mekânı hatırlattı bana :) Bunda Karga'da yanmakta olan şöminenin etkisi oldukça fazladır sanırım. Tekrar geleceğimden eminim. Bir de üst katında vakit geçirmek isterim.

    *%&^ these guys. Karga was recommended to us as an alternative place. We went on a wednesday night and were told the place was full, after a short review of our friends clothes. This selection by a mega bro dude was so bizarre at a supposedly-punk venue, and was made worst by the blatant lie that the place was full while people were coming In and out. If u wana be graded according to your parties hipster levels so u can sit with a select few guarded away from any unhip ppl- enjoy karga

    Great vibes - moody, quiet, dimly-lit bar a world away from the madness of the surrounding area. Props to the DJ for his interesting and eclectic music tastes.

    Great bar with a very relaxed feel going during the early evening. Friendly staff that speak enough English to communicate with customers who do not speak Turkish. The building and back patio are a very unique experience and I would recommend going if out in Kadıköy. A little bit more expensive than usual for a bar in Istanbul.

    Attentive staff, polite and not pushy. Love the vibe of the place. Not the widest selection of appetizers or non alcoholic drinks, but you come for the vibe. So if this is your hangout then this is your hangout :) can’t wait to be back x

    The place is popular for sure. The large selection of beers is good but the prices are a little high. We tried the beer plate and it was really not good. Every item tasted like a sponge. The staff is good though; helpful and polite. I'd go again but not eat anything else than nuts.

  • 1/5 Can �. 2 years ago on Google
    I really used to like to come here and listen to nice live music but today I paid 60₺ liras for a mohito which is full of ice and sparkling water and couldnt taste even a drop of alcohol. As I said, I liked the spirit here but when we told the waiter about our complaint, he told us that this is the standard amount of alcohol in it. So it is good to be aware about the situation that you may face. I am sorry that it happened here at Karga :(

    It is a hidden gem, a must-go bar in Istanbul. It was a real pleasure for my eyes to gaze over all gothic kinda architecture. That was also great to have draught Beck's in the wee garden.

    (Translated by Google) I love the gothic atmosphere of the place. One of my reasons for preference is that the beautiful decoration and the cocktails were also successful.

    Good atmosphere. Nice selection of local and international beers. Sport on the TV. Pleasant staff and welcoming to international visitors. This place has a real pub feeling to it. Not 5 stars just because the food options could be a bit better.

  • 2/5 Levent �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We went at around 6 in the evening, the inside of the place was beautiful, but the cocktails were very bad and there was no music. Alcohol in the cocktails was almost non-existent. (Original) Akşam 6 sularında gittik mekanın içi güzel şık ancak kokteyler çok kötüydü ve hiç müzik yoktu.kokteylerin içinde alkol oranı yok denecek kadar azdi,garsona hesabı öderken kokteyl oraninin çok az olduğunu söylediğimde,verdiği cevap kokteyli ben hazirlamadim oldu.

    Maybe a good place for simple booze but not for drinks like old fashioned or negroni that we tried there. Both aint tasting nothing similar to what they should to be.

    Super cool place. Very good atmosphere, beautiful building. We came here on a summer Sunday evening and it was very quiet (apparently this is a 'winter-bar', while in summer everyone is outside). Good music was playing (check out the dj's on social media to be sure you like what they're playing on the night you're going). Smoking is not allowed inside, but there is a patio on the ground floor where you can.

  • 5/5 Dunja L. 5 years ago on Google • 71 reviews
    Not the traditional Turkish place, more like a European pub, this place offers a good selection of beer and a relaxed atmosphere. They have a cute summer garden, don't miss it :)

  • 5/5 Ali 9 months ago on Google • 57 reviews
    TOP TOP TOP a really good bar with friendly staff and plenty of events on the 3rd floor The entrance is a bit tricky but you'll find it sooner than later :)

  • 5/5 Jessica R. 4 years ago on Google • 38 reviews
    Such an interesting bar! 3 levels in an old mansion with a small outdoor patio. All sorts of looks nooks and crannies to eacape. It can be hard to find... the door is small and easy to miss.

  • 4/5 Naz H. 2 years ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Nice place. It was really dark inside during the day. They allow people to smoke inside but we asked them to go outside and they did. They order the food from other places right now due to being closed for so long in the pandemic. I ate falafel and it was nice.

  • 3/5 Akerke S. 6 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    The concept is interesting, however, I wouldn’t say it is a comfortable place. The service was not good. It felt like they were ignoring us. Also, the day we went there, upper floors were closed. I would recommend you to come see the place but not necessarily drink here.

    I love Scotch and they have good brand in their stock

  • 4/5 Hakan A. 5 years ago on Google
    Opened at 2014. I havent been inside. At the first glance on the street from outside it has classical Irish decoration. It has been told that Harp Irish pub preffered by Irish people who living in Istanbul.. On the outsider wall its written that eighty kinds of beer are available .Billiard and dart game are also available..On their wide screen TV they always show football. Waiters invite people to coming inside of pub.

  • 5/5 Ahmad A. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool vibes and good variety of beers. Good prices. The outdoor tables is warmed and the inside is kinda spacious. There's a free billiard table and they show live football matches. The food menu they have is good with both western and local dishes. Great place for hang outs.

  • 5/5 Serhat S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The ambiance is great. One of my favorite places in Kadıköy. If you like long ceilings and worn wooden furniture like mine, you can sit for hours. But I am waiting for it to be closed for a long time due to the pandemic. (Original) Ambiyans şahane. Kadıköyde en sevdiğim mekanlardan.Benim gibi uzun tavanlı, eskitmeli tahta mobilyalardan hoşlanıyorsanız saatlerce oturabilirsiniz. Fakat pandemi nedeniyle uzun bir süredir kapalı açılmasını dörtgözle bekliyorum.

    Small entrance, a lot behind the door! For me it’s the best bar in Moda, very nice architecture and a vibe that just makes you stay… Love it!

  • 5/5 Mehmet G. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to lay low and listen to good music in Kadıköy. Staff knows English, therefore you wouldn't have any problem regarding communication. Top floor have concerts and other events in most days of the week. Pricing is more than reasonable, environment is friendly. Most of the patrons in the place are there for the long run, probably hanging in Karga for at least last 15 years. Great bar with good music to hangout with friends along with acceptable prices.

    Love this place! Multi level bar with good music (variety) and good service. Nice cozy patio out back but mostly indoor seating. Most nights have a dj of one sort or another and they have a top floor stage for shows/concerts. One of my favorites in the neighborhood.
