Mahsa AMay 1, 2018Good choice to taste different beers and high quality foods. design and the atmosphere of this restaurant is so nice and unique at bomonti area but so crowded and expensive👌🏽🙈
1 5November 28, 2016One of the best beer places in Istanbul! Huge assortment of beer and now Paulaner beer is also available. Tasty beer snacks, relaxing atmsphere. During summer period rock-concerts are held)- Sarp ErkayaMay 21, 2016Good beer. (Vienna lager is my fav) 🍻Good comfort food. (Perfectly made guac!) 🌮 Ask for the smoked meat menu and order the delicious slow cooked beef to share. 👌🏼
Burcu YatmazogluAugust 4, 2018A cool brewery with a funky design in Bomontiada complex which is the rising start of Istanbul. Try one of their pizettas from the stone oven with inventive toppings and signature beers.
Arta PayaMay 4, 2019Had a perfect glass of beer, I will not forget it. The ambience was great, the staff were really helpful and the burger was really great too! What an experience!
Mem©March 26, 2023Everything. The location, the food, beers (and I never drink beer 😁) and most of all, the lovely and helpful staff. Definitely a must.
Golbahar MirkazemiJune 15, 2019Great beer. Even the bar is awesome. Fantastic music. I ended up dancing all night even though we had planned to chill.
ElifJanuary 19, 2017One of the less Turkish microbreweries, 6-7/10. Christmas ale was pretty good for the season. Staff is friendly and informing. Try a 6-pack.
Baris TuraSeptember 29, 2018Classy pub inside now-defunct brewery Bomonti Ada. Pricy beer but worth it. Try their own beer. I love it!👌 High ceilings, extraordinary interior, good music.
Mujde Oz.February 4, 2016The staff made sure i had the right beer-though not a heavy drinker- very attentive staff, airy big space. Recommended for a weekday or chill saturday night out
Murat Can AşlakDecember 23, 2016Beer! The building populist is located is a century old beer factory. Populist is producing her own beers - weiss beer and lagers worth a try.
Mustafa özenJuly 9, 2018Good atmosphere for World Cup matches. Only tap beers, grand glass 33cc. Cheeseburger and fries with brisket are awesome!- You should try the handcraft beers. Scottish Ale is my favorite Indian Pale Ale runner up !!! 🍺🍺🍻🍻
Riyadh AlawadFebruary 15, 2019My best please in Istanbul ❤️, don't miss : fried chicken, steak fries and beef pizza 😍👌😋
Chris W.November 6, 2019Great place. 12 taps. Good food and the square has many other places as well. Good to hang out.
Solmaz BagheriMay 19, 2017Go there when the weather is good so you can sit outside. They have a good variety of beer. Food a bit too pricey though for what you get!
Brew LatelySeptember 23, 2020Big open environment, doesn’t really feel like you’re in Turkey...solid craft beer selection given the state of craft beer here
Çağlar ÇelebiOctober 1, 2019German Style Wheat Beer ve Scottish Ale denedik. Scottish Ale’ nin mutlaka denenmesini tavsiye ederim. Wheat Beer Weihenstephaner’in daha yumuşak içimlisi gibiydi.
Sertug YilmazSeptember 11, 2016Nice athmosphere but very crowded during weekend. Nearly impossible to take a seat. Better to visit in weekdays 🤔
Irma SortiApril 28, 2016Happy that there is a local brewery nearby. IPA is good, red ale and indian ale are a bit plain though

Aysen ÇağlıApril 27, 2016Scottish ale was really good,totilla chips with guacamelo was yummy-to sum up cheers!!
Great choice of fresh brewed beers with a beer menu renewed periodically.
Tulai UcarMarch 24, 2017Absolutely one of my favorite spot. The atmosphere the food and drinks are all in one supeeeeeer
Ciler COJuly 22, 2018Very good IPA (bitter, citrus, floral) and Vienna Lager (smooth, amber, toasted) to drink.
Selen KaleMay 15, 2016Must try "curly fries w/ chopped brisket, cheese sauce, greek yoghurt, chive" 🍟👍🏾
Daniel VasilyevOctober 25, 2022Something different in Istanbul, can’t say, that it was so awesome though
Good staff, perfect beers. Music and atmosphere is awesome.
Beers are very good but it would be better if they were served colder
Nuri KalkavanJuly 23, 2018Very bad service, definitely not recommend:We have been arrogantly ignored by service staff and manager, after they have placed us to a table inside, despite our reservation for a table on the terrace
Service is terrible! Today they asked to change our seat just because a bigger group came. They did this even after we asked if its ok to seat there before we sit.
