Tower Pub – Istanbul

Tower Pub  –  Bereketzade, Galata Kulesi Sk. No:4, 34421 Beyoglu/Istanbul

Located around the corner from the Galata Tower, and next door to Nardi’s Jazz Club, this was the first Bier House visited in Istanbul. The inevitable Efes Pilsner (5.0%) was waiting, might as well get it over with, adjust the palate, such was the low level of expectation for Bier in Türkiye.

Tower Pub appears happy to be identified as a British style pub and Sports Bar, the front end of the house has sufficient TVs to justify this. It was Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City when we arrived in May 11, 2022. When we returned a few days later to watch the FA Cup Final, a variety of other sports were being broadcast. The chap behind the bar had no sense of awareness, he was not changing channels for anyone, we left. It was back to Edinburgh Pub where there was no problem.

On Visit #1, two large dogs occupied the last available seats at a table. Marg may well have been content with this, but having to squeeze in beside dogs, come on.
