EDITOR'S REVIEW
Ernest's Bar, the small bar within Çok Çok Pera, is regarded as a place that brings the spirit of old Pera together with cocktail expertise. Creative drinks led by award-winning Bar Master Fatih Akerdem, quality ingredients and service stand out; prices are above the neighbourhood average and standard bars.
WHO IT SUITS
For cocktail enthusiasts wanting to try an award-winning bartender's inventive recipes and couples looking for a romantic, nostalgic Pera evening. It also suits small groups seeking calm conversation and relaxation over jazz.
HIGHLIGHTS
Fatih Akerdem's signature on the cocktail menu is its main strength. Ernest's Hemingway's Special Daiquiri, Sweet Temptation and original Negroni interpretations stand out; the Hemingway story gives it a cultural identity beyond the décor.
