Ararat Terrace Restaurant & Rooftop
Restaurant
👍👍 Best food in Turkey 100%. With everyone one calling at you while walking it’s hard to navigate the streets. But I’m so thankful we were ushered to Ararat because the food, drinks, service and ambiance were the best I’ve had in my travels around Turkey. Their chicken with pistachio and cream was sooo...

Taksim Club IQ
Night club
😠 This is my husband's cousin - he's one of the sweetest, most docile and gentle people I know. He was dancing merrily and then went to get some fresh air outside, where he was suddenly asked "where are you from?" by the security at the club, then he was not let in again and was violently grabbed and...

One beer cost 2.5€ we drank 50 beers, and he tried to charge us 500€. Also, when we told him that it was impossible that we had spent so much, he start...

Back Street Club & Rooftop Bar Taksim

😐 The Club offers a mixed experience. On one hand, the drinks are reasonably priced, which is definitely a plus. On the other hand, the overall quality leaves something to be desired.
The real standout feature of this place is the DJ - absolutely amazing! They know how to keep the energy up and the c...

Mas
Pub
👍 One of very few craft beer pubs in Istanbul. They have approximately 10-15 beers on tap, few lagers like Efes, Beck's etc. and few local crafts. Bartender was very nice, he offered us olives and nuts for free, several times. Aaaand they have happy hour until 19.00 when the beer is 20% cheaper.
