A genuine neighborhood meyhane tucked into the antique-dealer streets of Çukurcuma, beloved by artists, writers, and longtime Beyoğlu residents. The meze table is generous and changes seasonally, and the raki flows freely in a warm, unpretentious setting. It can get loud and smoky on weekend evenings, which is entirely the point.
