The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Beyoglu
Istanbul’s most famous street, pedestrianized Istiklal Caddesi (Independence Avenue), throbs day and night and offers a fantastic array of architectural sights, shops, treats, and throngs upon teeming throngs of people. At the avenue’s northeastern end is expansive Taksim Square, thought by many to be the very heart of the city, with many of Turkey’s most renowned restaurants and some of Europe’s most happening nightlife in close proximity. In striking contrast, Beyoglu’s less trafficked areas – such as the affluent Cihangir and the antiques district of Cukurcuma – exude Old World charm and provide contemplative calm and splendid diversion via an assortment of cozy cafes, attractive boutiques, and quiet lanes.

    Moretenders' is the true essence of a cocktail bar
    Moretenders' is the true essence of a cocktail bar in the heart of Galata, Istanbul, tucked away in a quiet cobblestoned alleyway. The staff exude positive energy in a cosy ambience to sit and enjoy excellent cocktails mixed by the expert staff. The menu will keep you busy experimenting with new and adventurous cocktails. We were impressed by all our selections. A place for the locals and tourists alike and great value high quality drinks served with top-shelf ingredients. Great tunes are played in the background to complete the atmosphere. As for cocktails lovers, we definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful establishment.

    Nice experience
    I think it’s a unique place which offers nice cocktails and sushi. If you are a fan of loud techno music, this is the right place for you. If not, you can sit outside where the music is not so loud. I just think that the food they offer it’s a little bit expensive and the portions are quite small. For example they serve salmon tartar in which the salmon is the least common ingredient.

    Heavenly cocktails!
    The combination of sushi, cocktails and art is a little unusual but we were here on Saturday evening for pre-dinner cocktails. The bar is really funky and cool, with modern music and a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. This is a must for cocktail lovers offering an impressive choice of signature cocktails which are expertly prepared and beautifully presented. We sampled quite a few with our stand out favourites being “Moss the Boss’ and “Endless Summer’. We had the best cocktails here during our visit to Istanbul.

It’s a great looking bar, some interesting cocktails, the server was more than happy to recommend cocktails based on our preferred and even changed one when we said we didn’t like it free of charge! The service and aesthetic is wonderful, but my god the music is so loud. Like you can’t think or speak kind of loud. I go to raves often and wish I had brought my earplugs - so if you’re planning on coming here, please make sure to pack those and prepare to be put through a spaceship washing machine x Unfortunately for this reason alone I would never go back.

I came to meet friends and ordered a cocktail. At this point, one of my friends wrote that he had recently been kicked out of there "to wait for his friends on the street." I left 200 TL on the table (the cocktail cost 195 TL) and wanted to leave, but the manager wouldn't let me out! And he said that I owe another 10% FOR THE SERVICE! That is, they kicked out my friend, and I have to leave them money from above. Ruined all the mood.
P.S. Music yells very, just very loudly, it will not be possible to talk. I do not recommend.

The guy at the door was so arrogant asking for a reservation online or some sort of booking, whereas there is no option for booking a table online anywhere. Asked him guide for booking wouldn’t response and all he said was have a good night. I guess all these star ratings are just for people to come to the door and be told to buzz off.

My 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:)

Besides a nice interior and friendly staff, the whisky sour I got was terrible and cost me €10. I could have a nice dinner for that money here.

We're always doing something like bar hopping during the vacation and this time in Istanbul it was really hard because people in turkey prefer basic drinks such as lager beer (fees and so on) and cocktails like mojito/pina colada/etc.

It was so great to find a place with "craft" cocktails! We tried several and it was amazing. As a big advantage was a pretty good service, the guys asked which drinks and tastes we prefer and helped us to choose the best. It was the first and only time in turkey when we have an option to change receipts (raspberry instead of passion fruit for example) and wench we heard "if you don't like we can bring another one".

Thanks for the staff for being so helpful and friendly! They even advised good places to eat and drink. Special thanks for the pickles (:

Literally the best bar in the city!

Serving up all liquors this cocktail bar does edgy very well. Great drinks, aesthetics to match, and outside seating where you can people watch.
