Craft beer bars and breweries in Istanbul

Istanbul spreads across two continents, and its nightlife has long clustered around Beyoğlu, the district on the European side that runs up from the Golden Horn. Many of the places below sit on or near İstiklal Caddesi and in the lanes that branch off it, so a single evening can take in several bars on foot.

The eight entries here range from a rooftop-style bar with outdoor seating to small late-night venues in the side streets. Some are listed with full street addresses and opening hours, while others are recorded only by name and street, so the descriptions below vary in length to match what is known about each one.

Getting around and planning your visit

Most of these venues are in or close to Beyoğlu, so walking between them is practical, though the side streets are steep and narrow. Opening hours are listed for only some entries, so confirm the times for the others by phone or on their websites before you set out. Where a phone number or website is given, it is the most direct way to check.
