Indeed, Zeplin has a wide range of beers, wines, spirits, and cocktails. It's rather impressive. They also serve pork(!!!!) products, which was shocking and intriguing for me, a long-time resident of Istanbul -- I've never seen a place serving bacon!
I was impressed by the number of beers I had never tried, so I ordered something different, a Strawberry Cider. My British friend advised me that a lot of the beers were "mass-produced," meaning not good in British English, I guess.
They had standard beers on tap -- Hoegaarden & Guiness notable.
However, as a warning, if you try to order something different there's a pretty good chance they don't have it. I ordered about 4 different drinks before I stumbled on something that was actually available. This leads me to believe that their menu is basically for show. There's probably only 50% of the beers on the menu behind the bar. And they're all bottled, and all overpriced.
Sooo two stars may seem a bit low but honestly I wouldn't go back unless I was craving the "pub" experience and had a lot of extra money.
The whole experience was soured by the fact that the waitstaff had added an extra drink that wasn't in stock on the bill. Although he was polite in apologizing and removing it, I still found it too be very unprofessional and took it even more personally since we were a group of foreigners. Careless.
Kind of a hit or miss experience at this place. Go knowing what to expect! read more
