The view is stunning, but the cocktails aren’t worth the price. average flavors, and nothing special. the vibe felt more about the location than the experience. Come for the view, but don’t expect much from the drinks.

The view is great. It is one of the best top bars in Istanbul. Cocktails include minimum amount of alcohol. Try the dry ones. If you need a view-by spot, you should ask. Hence the circulation is high, they put you in a good place. The crowd is ok. The music is somehow boring but generally popular world hits.

The sunset views from this rooftop bar were absolutely stunning, making it a perfect spot to unwind and take in the city skyline. However, the drinks were a major disappointment—poorly mixed, overpriced at around $20 USD each, and nowhere near the quality you’d expect for the price. If you’re coming for the atmosphere and the view, it’s worth a visit, but I’d recommend sticking to beer or wine and skipping the cocktails.

If this would be a spot for the view 5/5, but it is a bar with overprized cocktails, and the taste is below average. Waiters are moody, dont show you the amount on the point of sale where you pay. Mine had a slight difference. Service charge is added next to the price on the menu.

One mojito, one aperol = 27 Euro

Great view, good music.

A friend wanted to bring me here for drinks and a nice view of Istanbul. Entrance is can be accessible via elevator and then use of a climb of stairs to access the rooftop. Nice view of Istanbul.

They had a nice selection of drinks and cocktails. I don't drink alcohol, so I asked if they had anything that could be made into a mocktail/alcohol-free cocktail. I recalled there were two drinks. I had the strawberry bitter. It was very nice.
