EDITOR'S REVIEW
Fil Şaşkınbakkal is regarded as a bar that brings the boutique cocktail approach of its Moda branch into Suadiye's stylish setting. It offers guests around Bağdat Avenue an intimate cocktail experience with balanced, inventive flavours beyond simply having a drink.
WHO IT SUITS
For gastronomy enthusiasts wanting to try signature cocktails with varied flavours, and couples seeking a romantic, calm meet-up. It also appeals to small groups who want to continue a night out on the avenue with drinks and conversation after dinner.
HIGHLIGHTS
Balanced signature cocktails made by experienced bartenders are its main strength. Bringing Moda's recognised quality to the avenue, the warmth of a neighbourhood bar and stylish décor suited to Suadiye also stand out.
NOTE
Because the space is narrow, groups of five or six or more may struggle to find a place and sit comfortably. As there is no extensive food menu, guests are advised to come having eaten or after dinner for the cocktail experience.
GETTING THERE
It is on Berna Sokak in Suadiye Mahallesi, in the Şaşkınbakkal part of Bağdat Avenue, on the streets descending towards the coast near Marks & Spencer or Boyner. It is a few minutes' walk from the avenue and approximately 10–15 minutes from Marmaray Suadiye towards the coast and avenue. Drivers are advised to use nearby İSPARK or valet points because parking is difficult.
