A surprisingly fun bar near Bogazici University. Big, wide open spaces make you feel really less cramped and crowded than the usual bar in Istanbul. It's an enclosed "outdoor" area so smoking is allowed inside. There are huge projections/TVs everywhere for screening sports, and the beer was quite cheap @10tl for a 50'lik of all the usuals. However, I was massively disappointed they didn't have Erdinger or Bomonti Filtresiz on tap as advertised. I settled for an Efes Malt anyway.
I was there on a Monday so I can't say we got a a good feel for the place as it usual is on party nights. We did order some kind of hellim peyner dish that came really weirdly served on a tortilla with fries and sausages but it was tasty. It was kind of like a Mexican patso fusion.
Other than that the waiter was a bit slow (literally and figuratively). It was totally a-ok though. Would go back again if I'm in the area. read more
