I don't understand if this place went bankrupt or filed for debt restructuring or something.....:-)) When I came here 3 years ago, it was so lively and fun, but now even when I come on Saturdays, I see flies buzzing inside. It's become such a dull and lifeless place.

It would be a nice place if the Balamoz uncles didn't come.

Such a nice night in here on an Istanbul trip with friends. It was a strangely quiet night, so the owner came and sat at our table and we had some really nice laughs. The snacks to accompany our drinks just kept coming! Much love and respect for the warm community welcome, from us in Denmark!!!

A tiny, very simple bar, but very warm and safe, with an owner who embodies genuine values. You feel right at home. You should go and support him! People like him have changed attitudes! Just like in France before LGBT rights were granted…

Empty, no food, no menu and the drinks are watered down.
