What travellers are saying
- Timur TKarlsruhe, Germany9 contributionsFreundliches Irish Pub, seit Jahren immer wieder Gast und immer gerne hier. Bier, Whisky und nette Gespräche.
They've got one in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
So whether you sing or pull a pint you'll always have a job

- Shelby K30 contributionsMy husband and I enjoyed *several* cocktails here and had to continue ordering sushi roles because they were so good. The spring rolls were outstanding. The bar also has a stunning atmosphere. Probably our best night out in Istanbul:)Written 12 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Yagmur Uzun1 contributionIrish pub that feels like family I've been coming for 5 years. It is a pub where you can come and talk with your friends, or come alone and find someone to talk with and socialize. Besides being pet friendly, you can participate in darts tournaments held in the garden and even organize your own. The bar rule, bartender is always right energy hanging in the bar is exclusive to Tower Pub only. Don't leave without eating from Diloş's kitchen, drinking Emre's hot wine, and petting Zilli. Greetings to Roni, Elif and Nida. 😘😘Written 24 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- ZA001London, UK72 contributionsReally nice, cozy, amazing view of sea. Good cocktails, smoking area. Slightly pricy but worth it. Went there for a second time after 7 years. Highly recommend, classy place.
Has a VIP lounge and very nice mezzaWritten 20 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - figen450Istanbul, Turkey38 contributionsTypical "meyhane".
1- The original building is kept as it is.
2- The service is good in comparison to many famous places..
3- The food is above average. (we tasted grilled kalamari , grilled "ciger", "saksuka").
4- No music, so we can talk.
5- Smoking is not allowed inside.Written 11 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Flying DutchmanSomme-Leuze, Belgium955 contributionsI was in Babylon for Jake Bugg acoustic concert in May. The architecture of the concert hall with bricks were beautiful and gave the area a cozy atmosphere. I also think it is good to have a bar all along the back wall for the people who want to take a break and have a drink. The sound system was fine and it is quite easy to get in and out even though there is only one door. Babylon is located in Bomontiada, neighbour to restaurants and cafes so you can also have food/drinks before or after the concert. The only problem is the transportation after the concert. As it is not very close to public transport, taxis line up in front of Bomontiada and that creates a chaos...Written 27 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- liquidkitty1Toronto, Canada256 contributionsVery cool to be in the middle of the Bosporus and have a cocktail! You can also spend the day and swim or go for dinner. The ferry over is free and the stop is right on the bus route, easy to get to and fun! At the base of the bridge is the famous view with the stunning Ortoköy mosque not far away.Written 24 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- digitalrocCalgary, Canada1,320 contributionsOn the advice of the tour guide, we headed out for dinner to Dejavu restaurant. I ordered a Turkish brewed beer to start, then ordered the Sultan’s Favorite dish with lamb as my entrée. The service was decent, and after placing our orders, we were given bread to start. My meal was flavorful but found it a small portioned meal. Overall it was a good experience, as it was my first meal while in Istanbul, however later in the trip, I had someone outstanding meals, check out my other reviews for the intel.Written 21 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- good_antsDoha, Qatar458 contributionsFriends and I were staying right around the corner from JJ, plus the craft beer options, made this an inevitable stop!
We actually ended up stopping in for: a) live music, b) an evening starter, or b) a night cap each of our 4 days in Istanbul.
They carry one of the city's best craft beers - made by '3 Kafadar' - including a great nitro stout and a very nice IPA (Mosaic).
Add on some loud, raucous live bands, a warm, convivial atmosphere, and you can see why we enjoyed our visits to 'James Joyce'. There is often a small cover charge for the live bands, but they typically had a free DJ playing chill tunes up top. I hope you do too!Written 7 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - sligo72Birmingham, UK207 contributionsThis is a lovely Pub a ta the Tünel end of Istiklal Street in Taksim. Great atmosphere, good mix of music but stick to beer as the wine is variable and the cocktails are 'interesting'.Written 21 February 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Luigi FParma, Italy20 contributionsGood feelings with the people in that tavern near the fish market at the harbour.
Young boys singing traditional songs. Good local wine red and white. Highly recommended.Written 2 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
