EDITOR'S REVIEW
Fahri Konsolos is a microbar with a few outdoor tables and a counter on Dr. Esat Işık Caddesi, known for Anatolian mixology. Sumac, pomegranate molasses, boza, saffron and local herbs meet distillation, smoking and homemade ingredients; each cocktail comes with a small edible pairing that completes its story.
Funk, soul, jazz and gentle electronic tracks accompany outdoor conversation without overtaking the cocktails. No stage or regular DJ; tasting nights and guest bartender gatherings happen periodically.
Informal, friendly and deeply cocktail focused. A few tables allow direct conversation with the bartender and feel like a neighborhood gathering.
An open air microbar telling the story of Anatolian ingredients through experimental cocktail techniques, seasonal recipes and a small food pairing designed for each drink.
Cocktail fans interested in inventive recipes and local ingredients, bar professionals, Moda regulars and small groups.
Casual but neat clothes suit the entirely open air setup. Bring a light extra layer for a cool evening at the small street bar.
Fahri Konsolos offers a unique drinking experience in Moda, featuring experimental cocktails that change with the seasons and a knowledgeable team that shares the story behind each recipe. Reviews consistently praise the cocktails—crafted with local ingredients—as well as the meticulous presentation and recommendations tailored to individual tastes. Because the venue is very small and tables are close together, finding a table, accommodating large groups, or having a comfortable conversation can be challenging in the evenings. Food options are limited or non-existent. Although prices are considered high, the fact that the drinks differ from standard cocktails makes the experience worthwhile for most visitors. Arriving early or sitting at the bar may offer a more comfortable experience.
