    Hidden gem in Istanbul. Great Irish pub you don't want to miss. Leo the owner is a gentleman and has so many amazing stories. Had tons of fun here and made new friends, and even learned some new words.

    With his warm approach and smiling face, Leo is the best bartender I have ever met. U2 is by far my favorite pub for its great atmosphere, its kind people, and of course the tastiest Guinness in Istanbul!

    A tiny pub with a huge heart. The owner, Leo, sets a friendly mood. The best pint of Guinness for many a mile! Certificates to proof hang on the wall. Cheers to Leo.

    Cosy Irish bar no bigger than your front room, full of atmosphere, barman delivers the craic and serves top quality Guinness and Kilkenny Red to both himself and the punters, has a soft spot for Welsh folk, shows the sport, when the bell rings three times happy hour starts....

    Really lovely little pub near Taksim Sq. We turned up just as Leo was opening up. We were greeted warmly. Leo was super friendly and it was lovely to hear how he had been there for 18 years. Here's to another 18, Leo! All the best! The Gunness was superb!

    My fiancé is a Liverpool fan, and we found U2 by searching for Liverpool pubs in Istanbul. It’s a very small place, but very cozy and a nice vibe. The owner is super friendly and he speaks fluent English. He also pours a very nice Guinness! We went there three times, two of those times happened to be on the same night because we didn’t enjoy any of the other pubs in the area. :) One thing to note: It’s cash ONLY!

    I strongly recommend this place to everyone who wants to have an amazing experience of communication with nice people from the whole world being in very friendly atmosphere. Also Guinness and Kilkenny are the best in Istanbul, this one is for sure, I promise you ( take a look at the proof on photo in attachment). Officialy certified by Guinness company. Just come and you'll never regret about it.

    The best Irish bar outside of Ireland! The owner Leo is so welcoming and made the night so much fun. He even got me behind the bar to pour some shots (on the house!). If you want to meet new people and have a random but very fun night, go here!! :)

    As someone who is half Turk and half Irish, I feel like I have found my home. Great atmosphere, great company, great Guinness (and my Irish boyfriend agrees). But even if you’re not Irish or Turkish, the hospitality is amazing. Thanks so much Leo 😊😊

    A great evening. A small, friendly bar where Leo pulls the (excellent) pints and joins in the conversation. On our evening in there, we met an inebriated Russian and an absolutely delightful American (sorry Kansas, missed your name!). Genuinely fun. Very memorable. Recommended.

    It's expensive but you understand why. It's tiny and Leo who is awesome has overheads. But it's worth it. Best Guinness I've had in Turkey so far. 130 lira a pint. You don't get a landlord you get a friend.

    Leo is a legendary man. You can come here if you know his story, or if you want to listen to it. You will remember this man and his pub for all your life and each time you're in Istanbul- you'll visit Leo. P.S. - watch the documentary "One Night in Istanbul

    Me and my brother stopped by this place after reading the reviews here and this place did not disappoint. They have good beer, really good prices on their drinks, good atmosphere and most of all, Leo is awesome! He is very friendly and kept us engaged the entire time while we were here. I will definitely come back before I leave Istanbul or if I'm back here.

    I can't praise Leo highly enough for replicating an authentic Irish pub experience in the heart of Istanbul. If you want to watch sports in Istanbul, this is the place to go. If you want a friendly pint with interesting conversation, this is the place to go. If you want a great pint of Guinness, this is the place to go. Leo will greet you with a smile any time and make you feel so welcome. A highlight of our trip to Istanbul.

    Don't kid yourself, over the last twelve years, Leo has created his own little Ireland in Istanbul. A genuine host, he introduces most guests in the bar and insists upon connections between his patrons of many backgrounds. The intimate space is adorned with an eclectic collection of gifts from his repeat clientele. Worth a visit.

    Stopped in to watch half of a match, ended up staying the rest of the night. Atmosphere and hospitality couldn’t be better - and did I mention they do a perfect Guinness pour? We had a great time meeting fellow patrons and the owner, Leo, who couldn’t have been friendlier or more enjoyable to chat with (he even welcomed a United fan like myself into this Liverpool bar!). Thank you for the great memories, cheers until next time!

    Small pub with great host. (Glad we had Google map on the cell phone, because we almost missed it.) Good mix of traditional Irish music and more modern Irish bands. If you are near Taksim Square, give it a visit. Be aware it is "Cash only".

    (Translated by Google) The old irish pub, which was opened years ago and decorated with gifts left by customers from all over the world. It is a real irish pub that reflects Irish culture, plays only Irish music and whose permanent customers are Irish and Scottish, and even the Irish ambassador drinks some in Istanbul. Here i just can drink the freshest Guinness in the subject cities. (Original) Seneler önce açılmış ve Dünya'nın her tarafından gelen müşterilerin bıraktığı hediyelerle dekore edilmiş eski irish pub. İrlanda kültürünü yansıtan sadece İrlanda müziği çalan ve daimi müşterileri İrlandalı ve İskoç olan hatta İrlanda büyükelçisinin İstanbul'da birazını içtiği gerçek bir irish pub. Tabi şehirdeki en taze Guinness i de sadece burada içebilirsiniz.

    Leo was so nice to chat with. My husband and I just arrived to Istanbul and were out for a wander and came upon this pub. There was a mistake with our change and Leo was so apologetic, he offered us a shot to make up for it. There was lovely Irish music playing and he mentioned he always keeps it Irish. Really cute little bar.

I have never seen any other Irish pub in Istanbul that reflects the Irish spirit so well. A warm, friendly, great place where you can meet new people and chat. You will not understand how time passes while chatting with Leo the owner And if you want to drink the stars, say a Guinness to yourself. (Original) Kapıdan girdiğiniz anda İrlanda’da bir bara gitmiş gibi hissedeceğiniz mekan.İstanbul’da İrlanda ruhunu bu kadar iyi yansıtan başka İrish pub görmedim.Sıcak,samimi,yeni insanlarla tanışıp sohbet edebileceğiniz harika bir yer.Mekanın sahibi Leo ile sohbet ederken zamanın nasıl geçtiğini anlamayacaksınız.Ve eğer yıldızları içmek isterseniz kendinize bir Guinness söyleyin.

    Can't talk about this place without smiling. Literally the first & last pints in Istanbul were here. Very quaint (sounds better than small ha) bar, THE best Guinness you will get in Istanbul & probably Turkiye! definitely of a standard you would get in Ireland. Leo is a great guy & as a character, very welcoming, tries to get people talking to each other which as a World we live in, becoming much rarer. If you like a pint of the black stuff & are in Istanbul, look no further! Just bring cash!

    (Translated by Google) In my opinion, this is correct, the very authentic Irish pub! home atmosphere, which you immediately feel just when you enter, wonderful rock accompaniment (it's not for nothing that U2 appears in the name) but if you screw up and Irish step everyone will dance)) I usually don't write anything here, but it's so fun and funny that I drink here already the third day! .. if, suddenly, you come early and there are not many people - do not worry, everything will be! Happiness and luck! (Original) На мой взгляд это правильный, тот самый аутентичный, Irish pub! домашняя атмосфера, которую сразу ощущаешь, только войдя, прекрасное рок сопровождение(не зря U2 фигурирует в названии) но поднакидаашись и ирланский степ все будут танцевать)) я обычно не пишу тут ничего, но тут так весело и забавно, что я пью тут уже третий день! .. если, вдруг, вы рано придёте и народа немного - не переживать , всё будет! счастья и удачи!

    (Translated by Google) As a lady, I can easily say that in Beyoglu, you can easily go late and safely sit alone. Guinness is as fresh as it is here, but you can drink a Guinness with this freshness and taste in Ireland. (Original) Bir bayan olarak beyoğlunda rahatlıkla geç saatte gidip güvenli bir şekilde tek başına otura olabileceğiniz tek yer diyebilirim . Guinness burada çok taze onun kadar lezzetli ancak İrlanda'da bu tazelikte ve bu lezzette bir Guinness içebilirsiniz .

    This is not a bar, this is a place that feels like home. This is a cozy, simple, yet with a sophisticated nature bar that rises from the center of Taqsim area through Leo, the owner who is one of the few people that can affect your life. I walked into this place 8 years ago, thinking its gonna be a regular touristic experience, but i left it as a different person with a friend who i still love to visit at ever chance. I come to Istanbul often and i never go anywhere else, although i am a bartender and a bar enthusiast. No wifi, no credit card policy, and only beautiful energy, makes you want to come more often and often! I love you Leo! You are a beautiful soul, and an amazing bar!

    Hey, everyone. The owner was very rude. Maybe he drinks too much, I don't know. He aggressively asked for personal information (name, job etc). We gave 300 lire for two ordinary beers, cash only. It was uncomfortable, it doesn't have enough sits. The place seemed atmospheric at first, the music was good. The girl at the bar was polite. Perhaps this is all from the good things. They had expired beer in bottles and my naive friend told the owner about it that other people shouldn't drink it. The owner returned the money to us, although we said that everything was fine and we didn't want money back. We asked if we would pay and order at least 2 shots more so that everyone would feel comfortable and return to him the money, because we like this place. We tried to be polite. He said, it's not enough for you to buy two shots. We said no problem, we can pay extra. And he started just ignoring us. We finished the pretty expensive beer and left this awful place. It is not Irish pub. An absolute disappointment. and I haven't met such *** for a long time. He made us feel bad on St. Patrick's Day and the only day in Istanbul. I don't recommend.

    Even though the cola was kinda expensive, I still enjoyed meeting the owner who was very talkative and welcoming. The atmosphere was very authentic and I would have stayed longer if I weren’t so tired that day. I wish you all of the Lord‘s blessings and for you to stay humble, healthy and happy. In Jesus‘ name I pray. God bless you my friend! Sincerely, your German friend who did not like beer :)

    Like the local pubs in Ireland, Guinness is really fresh. Ideal for watching rugby. The owner is hospitable and as friendly as the Irish. If you want to find a treasure in Istanbul, you must find this place.

    Was excellent. Not really an Irish pub tbh, just a place that says it is and has an Irish flag up. Basically, if my grandmother had wheels, we'd call her a bike... Hahaha.. it was honestly the only place I could find that served rum... Staff was very friendly and drinks were strong. The music was also very good and a nice mix of American/Latin and Local music. Would definitely visit again on my next trip to Istanbul!

    It’s definitely a great place to drink a good Guinness. However the owner Leo is not the person that everyone will enjoy the conversation with. He has a good humor and he is a kind person but also very direct at times. Unfortunately he doesn’t understand the boundaries with people so you might not always enjoy the conversation with him. But it’s a nice place for lonely people who need to talk or those who lack friends with humor.

I took my post down as dont like to upset anyone but in reflection i should have left it up its rarely id do that but didn't like atmosphere one bit and i love irish bars that are owned by irish people and run by irish people

    This is a true enclave of Ireland in Istanbul, an Irish cozy pub as it should be. Great beer, musical accompaniment and, of course, the colorful owner Leo, who is very attentive to his guests, and most importantly has a great sense of humor and knows how to create a mood. Every evening on my short trip I went there for a couple of pints of fresh Irish beer and this will definitely be my point on my next trips. Hello Leo from Russia, your friend Anton :)
