EDITOR'S REVIEW
Duble Meze Bar refreshes the traditional meze table with contemporary cooking and views of the Golden Horn and Historic Peninsula. Its terrace makes the İstanbul skyline part of the meal.
Nostalgic and current Turkish pop, touches of ethnic house and later upbeat meyhane classics shape the repertoire. Early hours allow conversation; Turkish pop from the 1980s and 1990s and occasional DJ sets lift the energy later.
The view and dinner take priority at sunset. Live music, dancing and the bar atmosphere become more pronounced as the night unfolds.
A modern meyhane with seasonal meze, an open kitchen display, set or à la carte sharing menus, a panoramic terrace, bar and live entertainment.
Friend groups, celebrations, and Turkish and international visitors seeking meze and rakı with a view.
Stylish casual or smart casual; a neat, considered look suits the venue.
Although Duble Meze Bar appears appealing with its terrace overlooking Galata, nostalgic music, and delicious mezes praised in some reviews, the service experience is highly inconsistent. Individual positive reviews highlight friendly staff, successful DJ performances, and tasty food. On the other hand, frequent complaints cite small portions, lackluster main courses, cramped seating, excessive noise, heavy cigarette smoke, and inadequate ventilation. Many reviews mention persistent demands for fees or tips for items that seemed complimentary—such as shots, cake cutting, and coat check services. Issues regarding trust have also been reported concerning deposits, charges for no-shows, drink measurements, and the final bill total. It is advisable to confirm reservation details, the menu, all extras, and payment methods in writing beforehand.
