Birdy Roof is a rooftop located in one of the most lively places in Istanbul and it has the perfect…read moreview of the Bosphorus. They own the top 3 floors of the building. After entering to the building, you go up with a tiny elevator. First two floors are indoors. They have a few tables and couches and a bar at these floors. You can get food in these floors. They mostly bar food like burgers and sandwiches in their menu. The top floor is the terrace. It is very tiny and mostly overcrowded. If you are going on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, you definitely need a reservation. All cocktails are fix 70 liras. In the terrace they have a bar and a DJ stand. They usually play house music and it is pretty good. I think it is the beat location for a happy hour. You can get a few drinks with your friends, dance to the music and enjoy the gorgeous view of the Bosphorus.

Drinks are simple and aesthetic. They do get busy so we had to sort of share our table with another couple. Lots of options for cocktail drinks and we drank 2 each so i don't remember what's the name of the drinks we got. I got the St. Martin and it was pretty good but if you are a sweet cocktail person, ask to make it extra sweet!

This is a Michelin restaurant with very cool vibe. I also enjoyed wine from Cappadocia. The DJ's selection of music was spot on. I definitely enjoy my meal here and will definitely recommend.

Thales is A-OK. They have a nice menu, with reasonable prices, and cute staff. Our food and drinks…read morecame fast and our orders were correct and to expectation. I liked that they didn't have any music playing loudly inside, as most were out for happy hour and having enthusiastic conversations at a nice volume. Nothing spectacular to say about the place, though, and personally I was not very satisfied with my falafel salad. As soon as I started eating it I wished I had ordered something else. It just didn't have any flavor and consisted of only tomatoes, falafel, and greens. I think it could have used cheese or anything else really, just to spice it up a little. It's always a bit disappointing when the dish you order is something you could have just as easily made at home. Also, I tried to pay with credit card it was declined. It was an American card that I know works here, but the waiter did not seem interested in figuring out the problem (and didn't speak English). I'm sure he could have just adjusted the setting on the machine but I digress. Thus I can't say that this place is the best idea for tourists. Will probably go back and wouldn't complain if I'm invited, but it's not really an attractive choice among other places in the area.

This is definitely a true cocktail bar with unique drink and a variety of drink options. It's the…read morebest one we've had here in Istanbul. Friendly customer service and drinks came fairly quick, though unfortunately today the electricity went out but it still worked out. I wanted to stay and try many more drinks but 6 was good for now we still need to eat dinner lol.. Picklerock with baby corn- it is pickley with a hint of spice it's pretty good and different. It works together with the corn. If you like pickles and spice this is the drink for you. Plan direct - smooth easy to drink and you can taste the honey. It comes with yogurt ice cream just a little sweet but not to much it's good. All good in the hood- very good easy to drink the burning cinnamon adds a cute touch you just dip it in and stir it to add that hint of cinnamon flavor but not overpowering at all. Big in Japan- you taste the seaweed it comes with the ginger and you know it's kinda like eating sushi in a drink if you take a nibble on the ginger while taking a sip. It really goes together it is unique and different. It sounds odd but it's pretty cool Holy smoke- this one was ok it's good but it is sour d Mountain Sip- easy to drink a little sweet but good

Chilled out vibe with a relaxed decor, lots of couches and pillows, greenery and wood tones. Slow house music sets the tone for relaxing and sipping drinks. Speaking of, the craft cocktails are on point. Come at sunset for spectacular views of the golden horn basked in the fading light of the day, get reservations if you want a couch. Highly recommend this place.
