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!

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.

Their drinks weren't too strong I found. It started to get really crowded later on towards the night but it's an older crowd here I would say and a mix of people in their 20s and 30s.

Highly recommended for anyone wishing to get a good drink in the area, lots of cool stuff on tap, super reasonable (Kadikoy) prices, and clean bathrooms. Also, good music!

Dirty Hands belongs to the owners of Any Istanbul, which has quickly established itself as one of…read morethe popular hotspots in Istanbul, and is their second spot. The name gives the theme of this place away - Dirty Hands - because everything you eat here, will get your hands dirty. The menu offers a selection of street food, ranging from Bao Buns, to Tacos, Nachos, Hot Dogs and Corndogs. There is also a cool selection of Cocktails with funny names, such as 'Dirty Talk', 'The Bitch' and 'Lady in White'. I can definitely recommend 'The Bitch' for those who love sweeter cocktails like me. It is served in a large light bulb and looks superb - almost too good to drink! The best thing? The signs! During normal hours you will see signs that read 'Sit down please' and when it's past 10-11 pm and dancing time, the signs are turned around and it says 'Stand up please!'. The atmosphere is awesome, reminding of a SF backyard with a food truck parked in it, and jukebox music. Great stuff!

I truly hope that the owners and management of Sortie reads this. For the regular viewer, please…read moretake caution. This was my first time in Istanbul. I'm from Washington DC and I just came from an amazing family reunion in Antalya. This was the one and only nightclub I chose to visit recommended by my hotel four seasons. As soon as I got there, the bouncers would not let me in because they said ""couples only", My wife passed away last year, so I went solo. Nowhere on their web site did it say couples!!! I'm not someone to beat my own horn, but I am probably one most well mannered, most well dressed most cultured man around and I know this because I was raised correct. The bouncers would only let me in if I would pay them US$100 cash, my Uber ride had already left, so I decided to bite the bullet and pay $100 just because I did not have a companion with me but I wanted to enjoy some good music in Istanbul so I took a chance. The ambience was wonderful I was probably the only one tipping staff members with high tips as I crossed them, but it was so unfortunate that I had such a horrible start. What was supposed to be a high end dance club... the DJ was subpar. I was not there to flirt with anyone. I was there to listen to some good music. Enjoy the ambience, and enjoy a couple of drinks. So to the owner and management please know that this was highly disappointing. I never ever give negative reviews but this warrants it. I'm incredibly saddened and disappointed by what happened by the bouncers Maybe it was because I was impeccably dressed, and they thought that I was gay. I don't know what the problem was, but it was incredibly sad and this is why this warrants the worst review I've ever given. Best of luck clients.
