EDITOR'S REVIEW

Get to know the venue before you go

Belfast Irish Pub Moda is a long-standing neighbourhood pub on Dr. Esat Işık Street; the venue identifies it as the brand's first Istanbul location, operating there since 1997. Handmade burgers, frankfurters and beer platters, a 120-person room and outdoor seating make it a Moda meeting place from day to night.

Music & programme

Acoustic rock, pop-rock, Irish folk and international pop and rock classics from the 1980s and 1990s play in the background. Nostalgic playlists bring a livelier rhythm on weekends and some late afternoons. Belfast Moda is not a regular ticketed concert venue. Premier League, Champions League, European-tournament and major derby matches are screened in the garden and indoors.

Atmosphere

A dark wooden bar, beer signs on the walls and closely spaced tables retain a classic pub look. Tables opening onto the street and outdoor seating make it airier in warm weather. In the evening, crowds around the screens turn a conversation-focused daytime pub into a livelier sports pub.

Concept

An Irish pub combining classic drinks with handmade burgers, frankfurters and sharing plates, shaped by sports screenings and neighbourhood regulars. The Moda branch is presented as the brand's first Istanbul location, opened in 1997.

Guest profile

Moda regulars, groups following sports screenings, visitors coming for the broad beer selection and pub food, and those who like to sit for a long time in the open-air section.

Dress code

Relaxed everyday clothes fit the pub's evening atmosphere.

Customer Review Summary

Belfast Irish Pub Moda is appreciated for its thoughtful bar design, Irish pub atmosphere, and a beer menu that includes local craft options. The smoke-free indoor area, attentive staff, cocktails, and music selection frequently receive positive feedback. While the outdoor section offers a quieter setting for conversation, the interior can get crowded and noisy on weekends. Although the selection of beers and ciders appears extensive, some products may be unavailable at times. Service quality is inconsistent; complaints regarding forgotten orders, food arriving cold, and tables being refused even when the venue is empty appear in several reviews. Securing a spot in the outdoor area and keeping an eye on your order can help ensure a pleasant evening.

HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights
