EDITOR'S REVIEW
One of Asmalımescit's established terrace bars, Balkon Beyoğlu stands out for its views over the Golden Horn and historic peninsula. It is a practical choice for those who want to watch the sunset and continue with nighttime entertainment without changing venues.
WHO IT SUITS
It appeals to couples wanting a romantic dinner with a view, people showing Istanbul to foreign guests and groups of friends who want to dance through the night to electronic or house music.
HIGHLIGHTS
The uninterrupted Golden Horn and historic peninsula view from the sixth floor is its main advantage. Bringing food, scenery and electronic music together in central Asmalımescit is another strength.
NOTE
The historic building's lift holds about 2–3 people, so queues can form when entering or leaving, especially at weekends. After 23:00 the music reaches club volume and conversation becomes quite difficult.
GETTING THERE
It is at Şehbender Sokak No:5, Floor:6 in Asmalı Mescit. From the M2 metro's Şişhane stop, take the İstiklal Caddesi exit and walk toward the Asmalımescit streets for about 3–5 minutes.
