Kadife Sokak (Barlar Sokağı)

Kadıköy · Bar street · $$

When Beyoğlu feels like a theme park, I take the ferry and drink here instead. This street is where the city's actual youth are.

Kadıköy's cobbled 'Bar Street' — a hundred meters of bars where the young, local, unpretentious side of the city drinks. Beyoğlu's antidote.
