    The brewing equipment. Right behind the bar.

    Went here after a business meeting one evening. Great food, fine service, and I thought the beers were great. As with many brew pubs they offer samplers with many small samples of all their beers. That's a great way to try a few things until you find one you like. The menu was on iPads and in good English, which is really helpful if you don't speak much Turkish. The chips (or "crisps" as the English call them) are handmade there at the restaurant and are really tasty. It's a short walk from a metro station and has fabulous atmosphere. Food was tasty and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be back if I'm in Istanbul again.

    Delicious pate. Might be the most delicious thing on the menu.

    Gonna have to take this place down a few notches. Last time I was here my husband and I ordered several apps. All pretty gross. With the exception of the chicken liver pate. Tonight we went back again. Chicken liver pate is still delicious. Husband had an average steak. I had sausage and mash. Which was so strongly reminiscent of Salisbury steak TV dinners of my youth. I loved TV dinners. When I was 9. Salisbury steak was the best. Not looking for it at a pricey pub. Also, I ordered 1 beer. 24 lira. Our pate was less.

    Yes  Virginia there is at least one brew pub in Istanbul

    To begin with , this is a very attractive place but what's really fun about it is , it's a brewpub in Istanbul and that's a rarity! It's located in the Bessitkas(sp?) section up from the Bosphorus in an area that has a number of hotels but is not especially touristy.Most of the people here were locals.The Turkish beer scene is not what you'd call exciting.It's mostly Effes-light , dark and extra.Effes isn't bad but it's not beer excitement territory(I actually liked the extra the best).The beer here is pretty good.They have a decent IPA and a number of not bad lagers in different styles.I had a good chicken curry sandwich.Service was pleasant.it is expensive for what it is but to be honest I wanted to get rid of some excessive Turkish Lira.Look you won't imagine you're in Portland or Denver but then again ,you won't care.

    See all

    Non smoking inside was much appreciated. And it gives a little taste of home. New England

    Gave us tasters of all their home-brews, some of which were delicious & well-balanced (Selanik 81) while others need a little work (Istanbul Pale Ale) on the balance.
