Balkon Bar

Beyoğlu · Rooftop bar · $$$

Most rooftop bars here sell the view and forget the drink. This one I still rate — I start a night here at sunset before dropping down to the meyhanes.

A rooftop over Beyoğlu with a straight line to the Golden Horn and the old-city skyline. The one view-bar markup I think is worth paying.
