Yuri Gagarin Bar — Restaurant in Beyoğlu

If you are looking for tiny portions that are still fully priced, you’ve found the spot.

Tiny portions of kebabs with lackluster flavor.

Their “shots” are basically sweet water with a tiny hint of alcohol. When complained, the server brought out vodka shots that were free but were still extremely weak.

Atmosphere and service were good but temper your expectations if you choose...

Me and 6 friends came to Turkey and this was by far the best place we came to drink, we came each night. The cocktails were unreal, Yasin is brilliant at making cocktails and he's only been doing it 2 years. Some of our favourites were the Mojito, Isaac Newton, Long Island Ice Team, Hibiscus and many more. Everyone gave great service, the ambience was good and they were extremely friendly.

One lovely woman even helped with giving us the address for a pharmacy for a friend who was sick.

Upd: В пятницу пришел один, сначала посадили, потом сказали не можем обслужить в выходные одного человека, и прочая камитель, очень странно и абсолютно не вызывает никакого уважения, а так же теряет лояльность, как приятный местечковый бар.

Отличное место, одно из лучших в туристической зоне Стамбула. В этом месте вы можете вкусно и дешево попить пиво в настоящем андеграунде с отличной музыкой, при этом вам всегда тут будут рады. Приходите и проводите здесь место качественно, вкусно и весело, по хорошей цене.

И отдельно все таки передам привет официантке: Амина

Я много езжу и часто замечаю места с душой, так что меня нелегко впечатлить. Но в туристической зоне Стамбула для уюта и встреч с друзьями, это одно из лучших, обязательно приходите!!

On Friday, one person came, was initially seated, then told they couldn’t be served on weekends as a single person, and other nonsense—very strange and absolutely doesn’t inspire any respect, while also losing loyalty as a nice local bar.

Great spot, one of the best in Istanbul’s tourist area. Here, you can enjoy tasty, affordable beer in a true underground vibe with awesome music, and you’ll always feel welcome. Come and spend quality time here—delicious, fun, and at a great price.

I travel a lot and often notice places with soul, so I’m not easily impressed. But in Istanbul’s tourist zone, for cozy vibes and hanging out with friends, this is one of the best—definitely check it out!!

And separately, I’ll still send a shoutout to the...
