It is okay place, they really have cool concerts and events at rooftop…read more But I personally hate the fact that I can't go in alone. The place has 3+1 floors with balconies and maybe more than 20 tables, but there is no place for me where I can enjoy myself? Maybe I am way too heavy on cultural nuances, but this feels way too culturally weak. Maybe there is a case for this where bouncer can't immediately jump onto a dangerous situation because of floors so they only allow groups, but to be honest entering alone isn't that much of a risk factor. Also, there was a time when we were asking to come in with a foreign friend which I wanted to show the place and bouncer acted like a douchebag, so I down it from 3 to 2.

The best part of Karga is how surprising it all is. The door is completely hidden, and I generally…read moreneed help to find it. When you go in, you'll be met with 4 (or 5?) floors of coolness. Mirrors, fireplaces, brick walls-- all so charming. The place is always packed, but there also always seems to be space, somewhere. Every time I've been, it's been a different experience, so I'd say it has some "replay" value. I love Karga. Hopefully they let me in next time because we forgot to pay for our beers last time. If they do, I'll try to arrange 6 stars for this hole-in-the-wall that is actually an amazing labyrinth of excitement.

The sports atmosphere for this place is awesome! It felt like being back in a sports bar in…read moreAmerica, they had TVs everywhere, sports memorabilia everywhere on the wall's. They even had chicken wings which if you get I recommend you stick with the normal flavor, because the others weren't so good and even the normal was just okay! But having wings is definitely a big step because what sports plays could be a sports place without wings. The waiter was pretty good in English wasn't great but whenever he really needed assistance he would get his manager who spoke pretty good English. The seats are really comfy and like I said I really like the atmosphere we sat next to the bar which I recommend you do even though I don't drink but I was with a friend that drinks it was definitely the way to go and there were 4 screens around us.

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.
