Sofyalı 9

Beyoğlu · Meyhane · $$$

The meyhane is the soul of how this city drinks and eats, and this is one I still trust. I bring people here to teach them how to pace a rakı table.

A classic Beyoğlu meyhane on the old drinking street: cold meze trays, rakı, and tables that turn into a long, slow, loud night.
