Kadife - Istanbul Tuerkiye

The restaurant is very busy on weekends, especially Fridays. The beer can be pricey, but I haven't had any issues in the 7 years I've been going there. The outdoor garden music is really nice.

I absolutely adore arka oda, but it's crucial to arrive before 11 in order to secure a table. Ideal for smaller groups of 2-6 people, there are regular seating options available.

This café bar on the Asian side of Istanbul is the ultimate spot. It stands out for its great music and trendy crowd. However, the drinks are only average, so don't expect much in that department.
