Bausta

A relaxed pop selection plays through the day; it approaches a bar rhythm in the evening without drowning conversation. No regular live-music or DJ calendar is specified: nights revolve around bar service, table conversation and the venue's daily playlist.

Lively by day and sociable in the evening, with comfortable seating where larger groups can stay a long while.

An all-day café-restaurant and bar serving breakfast and meals before evening drinks, with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Groups of varied ages meeting around Bağdat Caddesi for breakfast, food, coffee or a drink.

Comfortable smart casual suits a place used from breakfast to evening drinks, indoors and out.

Bausta is an easily accessible meeting spot, thanks to its location near the Marmaray, stylish interior, and music that doesn't drown out conversation. The pizza, crispy chicken, and certain cocktails are well-liked, with positive feedback regarding portion sizes and service. However, cocktail quality is inconsistent; some blends have been found to be overly juice-heavy or weak. Some visitors find the interior too dark and cramped, and the atmosphere noisy when crowded. Serious criticisms include a drop in attentiveness toward non-alcoholic orders, issues with the clarity of bill items, and a sarcastic attitude during payment. Opinions on the price-to-performance ratio are mixed. It is advisable to clarify order details and check the bill, especially on busy nights.
