Meyhanede Sortie — Restaurant in Beşiktaş

They don't let you dance at the dance floor. They charged you 24000 lira to enter. And then they say you can't dance at the dance floor. After charging us the 24000 lira, they said table at the dance floor is 1million lira. They just want your money and then disrespect you. They have policy no boys without girls and girls without boys can enter. But girls without boys can enter. Only boys can't enter untill you agreed to spend more than 25000 lira. Well, We agreed. but then you're being categorized in many ways. You can't even leave your own table and you can't even go to dance floor. But girls without boys with them, can go to dance floor. Manager doesn't know what's going on. He said if you wana dance at the dance floor you have to pay 1Million lira. Like who are you people? Are you located at MARS? What's in that dance floor? Does it let you dance automatically once you stepped on it? Like seriously? All the girls without boys are dancing on the dance floor. It's a big Scam over there. They don't mention anywhere that there is a policy of entering into the club I.e. either you should have a girl with you if your are a group of boys or a boy if your a group of girls. But the funny part is, this policy depends on the money. If you agreed to spend more than 25000 lira...

WARNING: All the good reviews for this place are FAKE or PAID Top Istanbul Scam

This place is the king of all scammers. I am sorry for you if you go this place as I am for myself.

All the food is below average and they will steal your money.

We had Sea Bass 1300 g to share they charged us 520 TR / 90 USD

For 6 of what they claim to be jumbo shrimps they charged 720 TR / 123 USD

In the menu they don’t show you prices for these items and this is how they scam you.

To top this they added a service cover for 250 TR which is 43 USD

Ofourse we ordered a couple of small appetisers which they show you in a tray to select from.

The total bill came to 1960 TR which is 335 USD approx that’s for 2 people who shared the main course which is a medium sizes sea bass.

The day before I had a much better similar meal in Beşiktaş in one of the good restaurants there for less than 10% of this price and much much better portions and quality.

Lucky I still have the receipt and unless the owners are willing to compensate this catastrophe I will work to report this to consumer protection. I am a tv producer so will also work to get this to local news stations about top istanbul scams if I...

Don’t make reservations from abroad and generally don’t pay in advance. A club with proper reputation should have an official website allowing safe reservations online and should not force people making suspicious money transfers using bank details with unclear instructions.

We wanted to make a reservation in advance for New Year’s Eve to make sure we can enter - we followed instructions for money transfer to the club’s account. Despite my bank confirmation (Germany), the club said they didn’t get the money and we won’t be able to enter. We made a bank transfer of about 400€ for two persons incl. transaction fees, showed confirmation - still the lady was yelling at me on the phone stating they didn’t receive the money although the money was gone and my bank confirmed that the club received it. I had to claim money back upon return to Germany and I could get only a part of it since the club kept some amount and refused to return it. All in all we lost a lot of money and didn’t even get to this club. Not safe for foreigners and no adequate means...
