What a wonderful bar! An absolute must try...

We were staying locally and came across this bar and thought we would check it out, we arrived around 17:30 and were given a table overlooking the floor to ceiling glass windows. The view of the Bosphorus was sublime and as we sat and had our drinks the sun set and all the lights came on across the city, it is just such a wonderful experience. Service was first class as you would expect and the DJ was playing some really cool old school tunes, we didn't eat here so I can't comment on the food quality. We liked it so much that we came back again on our last night in Istanbul.

One of the best roof top bar experiences we had in Europe. Open late and offer Panaromic views of Istanbul. Cocktails are creative. Food and snacks are delicious. Menu is little bit on the pricey side, but every penny is totally worth it for the 5 star experience you get. Definitely recommend this.

If only I could put in words the level of hospitality and kindness on the part of the stuff and the beauty of the view of Istanbul!

Food and drinks quality were top tier, prices were on the high end, but it was worth it. I spent many hours in the bar, enjoying the incredible view.

Fantastic views, lovely cocktails and desserts. The lactose free cheesecake was divine and it's so rare to get lactose free anywhere.
Altogether a wonderful experience though the prices are similar to London and NYC
