Capital Bar: Eat-Drink-Music

Live acts feature acoustic pop, rock, blues and familiar Turkish and international songs. On event nights, DJ sets bring house, disco and current hits. Selected evenings host bands, solo acoustic sets, DJ parties and social events; the programme is not fixed.

Widely spaced tables, a modern bar counter and a small stage give the room an airy feel. Outdoor tables facing the street stay calmer; near the stage, concert and DJ nights bring a livelier, sometimes standing crowd.

A hybrid gastropub serving food and coffee in a relaxed brasserie setting by day and becoming a live-music or DJ bar in the evening. Indoor and outdoor seating cater to different paces.

People working around 4th Levent, groups who want dinner with live music, and those who prefer watching small concerts or DJ sets from a table.

Flexible smart casual clothing works from after work through a concert. Jeans and trainers are fine; a dress or smarter top can suit a special party night.

At Capital Bar, stepping in beneath the yellow awning brings you to brick textures and a blue-lit bar. Around the wooden tables, guests examine collectables and place their cards into albums. An event with a microphone also takes place among these closely spaced seats. Red curtains and small ceiling lamps frame a room where different pastimes mingle with familiar bar conversation.

Capital Bar is a popular choice for celebrations and gatherings with friends, thanks to its quiet location, weekend live music, and table arrangements that can accommodate large groups. Patrons appreciate the food, the variety of drinks, and the generally friendly attitude of the staff; the whiskey selection and cocktail recommendations also receive positive feedback. However, there are several serious complaints regarding group bills, specifically that un-ordered drinks were added to the tab and the total amount increased without explanation. Some visitors also found the service charge and snack prices to be high. Especially for large gatherings, it is advisable to keep track of orders within the group, request interim bills, and carefully check the tab before paying.
