    The best place to hangout and spend some time in Istanbul. My boyfriend and I were on a holiday on January 2022, and he was craving for some irish pub 😅 he found this place on google and we walk all the way from Molla Gürani. And never want to sit anywhere else since then. The place is really nice, warm, cozy, we love the music there, love the drinks, love the food, and became friends with the people there. They’re all so fun and friendly. We even moved from our hotel to b&b upstairs. Hadi helped us with everything, room bookings, PCR test, taxi, you name it. I miss hanging out with them, Aziz the funny guy, Ali is a really good guy and also Deniz the chef, and specially Nana, we still keep in touch, though. They really make me feel like home. Aziz even let us picked our own song lists 😂 Highly recommended if you come to Istanbul. You’ll thank me later.

    After a while travelling turkey it was nice to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff are super friendly, vegetarian food is minimal but we enjoyed the Ravioli once we added seasoning, saw a beef noodle come out to a customer and it was just a bowl of brown, vegetables had been cooked with the sauce so maybe it tasted ok but not what is pictured in menu. For more veg food, Across the road is a restaurant that serves vegetable hot pot. Irish music is available on request as they predominantly play 80/90’s. Shisha is available for 300TKL, we went for double apple, found it too sweet but soldiered on plus we got entertained with smoke bubbles. We arrived Wednesday 7pm so a little quiet but soon picked up. The toilets were probably the cleanest and nicest in turkey.

    Fancy a beer with jovial staff? Rounder’s is the place. I ordered Efes beer on tap and halloumi cheese (thin, salty, delicious)! Fresh, hot popcorn is free with your drinks. Great music playing on speakers!

    If you’re looking for great music, staff, drinks, food and a great time, this is the place for you. They even have a floor to dance at times. The staff are friendly, the alcohol and food options are great. Thank you all for making it a memorable experience. We enjoyed it so much the first time we have come back multiple times on our visit!

    Pub strongly tries to pretend to be an Irish pub - labels in English, different flags, but all of these from other places, a mix of UK and USA, sort of eclectic. But if you do not take that into account, the choice of beer is abysmal. You can't just name any place with Guinness beer - Irish pub

    Great place to visit! Staff are very friendly, good range of food and alcohol with reasonable prices. Watched the Wimbledon final there with a group of random people from around the world, fab atmosphere. And as a single female, it felt safe and non-threatning too. Recommended!

    Nice Irish Pub with good Guinnes. Pint of Guinnes ‐ 225 tl Personnel is all very friendly. Very nice street, a lot of restorans around and pubs. Market with cigaretts & cigarillos is just near by. Smoking kills, but Guinnes is good to eat with Cigar ))) Recommend.

    Busy touristic street with many restaurants and no I chose this one to have few drinks. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.and Funny!! Not super pushy to get clients like other places around. Super cold beer and good atmosphere. Really recommend it.

    (Translated by Google) Perfect place! Very nice staff. Really tried to do everything so that we were satisfied. We wanted to drink Rake, we were looking for where, but it started to rain and came here. It turned out that the rake is here, we were told and shown how to drink it, served cheese and nuts for free, and very pleasantly and unobtrusively chatted - in general, a really good and pleasant place. Highly recommend! (Original) Отличное место! Очень приятные сотрудники. Действительно старались сделать все, чтобы мы остались довольны. Мы хотели выпить ракэ, искали где, но начался дождь и зашли сюда. Оказалось, ракэ здесь есть, нам рассказали и показали, как его пить, бесплатно угостили сыром и орешками, очень приятно и ненавязчиво поболтали - в общем, действительно хорошее и приятное место. Очень рекомендую!

    These guys make you feel like home, I felt I was going to the bar I always go to when I'm home, amazing service, very polite, knowledgeable, kind, friendly and respectful staff. They even ordered a cake for my wife's birthday and helped me with the surprise. I spent 3 nights in Istanbul and every one of them I went for dinner and beers at this place. Amazing atmosphere and this place is a must have a beer pub. Oh! They can play any live sports that you could wish from anywhere around the globe!

    This is my second visit to this place within a week. I consider this place the best place to hang out with friends and family in Istanbul. The variety of beers and music they play is just amazing. They serve everything with love and take it to a different level every time. Aziz is the best host and he understands what you need. God bless you all. Please visit this place.

    I took ages to find the place. Only Irish Bar I could see West of the Bosporus. Was it worth it? There were 3 customers @ 3pm on a Monday. Food looked average. It was delivered on a motorbike. Guinness wasn’t cold enough. Service was average. Music was on a short loop. I got 23 Lira to the £ making my Guinness £7.74 a pint. I did leave a 10% tip out of courtesy. This is in an area with huge competition. There were more customers in every other establishment.

    Came here, had an amazing time, they have a decent selection of beers in comparison to what you would find in other places in Istanbul. Sergio took care of me, he was fantastic, and Mehmet also. Highly recommend if you want to relax and get a nice buzz before visiting the historic Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque 😉

    Great Irish Pub in Sultanahmet close to all the tourist destinations. Great vibes, excellent staff and a fun atmosphere. Can highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Timur T. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Pub in Istanbul. Friendly people from around the world. 'Cause where ever you go around the world you'll find an Irish pub

  • 1/5 Bandish P. 2 years ago on Google
    The Guinness here is not only over priced but also completely flat. I felt I was having sherbet. The waiter is a nice guy though. But still. Not the Irish pub u expect.

  • 5/5 Micayla G. 2 years ago on Google
    The service here was friendly and warm. Felt well taken care of and attended to. A nice stop for a beer or glass of wine. Aziz was super sweet and we enjoyed our conversation with him! Highly recommend as a nice pop in for a drink on a relatively quiet street.

  • 5/5 Mike F. 1 year ago on Google
    Being Irish-American, I always seek out Irish Pubs, wherever I travel. Rounders is a welcoming pub with nice staff and great drink! Food is above average, as most places in SultanAhmet are not above average. You can’t go wrong, here. I came 5 days out of 7. I recommend Efes beer and lamb chops.

    We visited in February and although it was quiet this place became our second home. Aziz and Sergio were fantastic hosts and made our family feel welcome every day we came back. Music, ambiance and food all 6 out of 5. This is the best pub on this very busy and competitive road. We also enjoyed being able to watch Premier League Football here too. Fantastic place x

    This place and the people over here specially sercan and mehmat will make it their personal goal to make it feel like you are in your neighborhood bar even when you are all the way in a new city. They will go over and above their duty to make everything special for you. We came here everyday even when we had options to be anywhere only because of the place they make this place. The people make the place worth everything.

  • 5/5 Abhay C. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent place to be at. Very friendly staff and excellent service. One of the best places to be on this street. Music is great, easy access and really central. You can watch a game here and make friends with not just the staff but everyone here. Local gin, raki and effes are a must try.

    (Translated by Google) Good staff, friendly, fun and good food When I asked, it's open 24 hours?! Really I have a soccer game and I can play darts. It was nice because it was close to the hotel I came out at 12 p.m. There are a lot of bars and pubs on this street, so there is a bit of solicitation. One of the staff was a bit like stone + I, but it’s fun. Thank you for shouting only Ariga again. (Original) 굿 직원친절 해여 재밌고 음식도 괜찮아요 물어보니 24시간 영업이라는데?! 진짠가 축구게임있고 다트있어서 놀 수있어요 호텔이랑 가까워서 좋았어요 밤 12시에 나왔는데 이쪽 거리가 바+펍이 많아서 호객행위좀 있어요 직원한명이 약간 돌+I 같았는데 재밌어오 친화력있고 아리가또만 외쳐서 감사합니다 가르쳐줬어요 ㅋㅋ

    Nice local spot for a pint of Guinness. We came here on Saint Patrick’s day. The place was empty... it was lunch time so understandable why people were not hanging out and having beer. The Guinness was poured correctly which is always nice to see outside of Dublin. They don’t really have any Irish style food but the burgers were pretty good. Overall a nice spot of a pint.
