Visited on Paddy's day. They were serving green beer which was nice. Great atmosphere in the pub. The group playing were hit & miss. We enjoyed despite the worst toilets I have encountered in 3 months. More

Reason for my title is simple, they serve carlsberg and turkish Efes but no Murphys. They now do have Guinness but a quarter pint of stout ( that's 250 CL !) you got to pay 4.5 -5 euros!

If Carling made Irish pubs, this one wouldnt be it! Truly the worst Irish pub that I have had the displeasure to visit. Apart from the name (and not surprisingly, none of the Turkish staff, new what it meant), there is absolutely nothing Irish in the pub...Guinness posters but no Guinness etc etc. Dont waste your time looking for this...

Not a bad little place. Nice surroundings and what not. Free WIFI. They also show foreign football games. Beer is truly awful here. If you have to get a beer, do NOT get the Tuborg. Absolute sea water and 8.50 for a small beer is rather steep compared to so many other places in Taksim. More

We were so disappointed that even after we walked for nearly an hour to get here - we left and did not even order. They only had Turkish and a couple British beers on tap. No Irish ales, stouts, ciders - NOTHING Irish at all!! More
