Known forneighborhood barcocktailsmezeBeyoğlu
A long-standing Beyoğlu favorite named after the fictional gentleman thief, Arsen Lüpen is a warm, dimly lit bar with a loyal neighborhood following and a pleasantly eclectic soundtrack. The cocktails are well-executed without being pretentious, and the meze selection is genuinely good if you want to eat. It occupies a classic Istanbul meyhane-style space that feels lived-in and authentic. Weeknights are ideal for conversation; weekends get lively.
