Red and neon lighting, closely set tables and performances throughout the room make for an upbeat night that draws guests in.

A new generation meyhane and club combining classic meze and rakı culture with club entertainment, dance, zenne, oriental acts and interactive stage shows.

Large friend groups that want to continue from a set-menu dinner into DJ music and dancing around the tables.

Comfortable, polished evening wear suits the dinner and entertainment on İstiklal.

Han 120 is a fun, "new-generation" meyhane (tavern) that particularly appeals to groups of women, thanks to its packed DJ and artist lineup, security team, and high-energy atmosphere. Reviews often praise the chicken, mezes (appetizers), and set menu, as well as the attentive staff and good value for money. Conversely, frequent complaints arise regarding tables being too close together, loud noise, cigarette smoke, lackluster mezes, and service that is either slow or results in cold food. A recurring, serious issue is the failure to disclose upfront the extra costs for items such as melon, cheese, şalgam (turnip juice), drink substitutions, tables near the stage, and champagne. Reports also mention instances where tables were not held despite reservations, or where the final bill included charges for people who did not attend or listed incorrect amounts. It is advisable to get written confirmation regarding the menu, table allocation, all extras, and deposit terms.
