EDITOR'S REVIEW

Get to know the venue before you go

Ayı Moda is a lively neighbourhood bar on Moda Caddesi built around burgers, beer and a tucked-away garden; events upstairs carry the evening into the night.

Music & programme

The bar's relaxed playlist changes to DJs and live acts at events in Hold upstairs. The Hold programme varies according to current announcements.

Atmosphere

Street-connected and conversational, with a crowd that grows as the day goes on.

Concept

A pub with a hidden garden and an upstairs event area. Drinks and seating suit small groups staying a long time.

Guest profile

Students, young professionals and larger friend groups meeting in Moda.

Dress code

Comfortable everyday clothes and shoes suitable for standing a while work for both the garden and upstairs events.

Inside the Venue

Ayı Moda's dart corner with its green walls is a pleasant option for taking a break from conversation at the table. Dark round tables, wooden surfaces and light-coloured cushions keep the seating area simple. Plants and warm wall lights soften this arrangement. Around the AYI sign, you can settle into different corners and spend your time at ease.

Customer Review Summary

While Ayı Moda might be considered enjoyable thanks to its garden-like interior, certain cocktails, burgers, and snacks, recent reviews show decidedly mixed satisfaction levels. Issues such as the alteration of promotional terms via inconspicuous fine print—combined with a failure to remove old signage—have led to unexpected bills. Reports indicate that draft beer has been watery or insufficiently chilled, glasses have arrived dirty, and requests for replacements have met with poor reactions. Recurring complaints include restroom cleanliness, heavy cigarette smoke, cramped seating arrangements, and indifferent staff. The alcohol content of the cocktails has also been called into question. It seems advisable to clarify promotional terms before ordering and to check the cleanliness of your glass.
