Hayalperest Kadıköy is a small pub and café that has made a warm, art-loving corner of its own among Kadıköy's busy streets. For those who want to step away from the noise, have a drink in a friendly setting and talk at length, it is one of the Asian side's most pleasant, modest and colourful stops.

WHO IT SUITS
Is this venue right for you?
Ideal for groups of friends who want to sip a drink at comfortable tables, talk at length or unwind without music interrupting conversation. It directly appeals to those seeking a calmer, more secluded alternative to the noise and crowds of Kadıköy's bar streets. Groups who want to bring their own alcohol and share a long table of meze and food can consider it too.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights
Its greatest advantage is its ability to feel removed from the noise of major roads despite being in the heart of the Kadıköy market area, thanks to the character of its street. Friendly staff, warm décor and accessible prices make it a strong neighbourhood venue.
NOTE
Before your visit
Set expectations for a modest, bohemian stop centred on conversation, coffee and beer, rather than a high-energy nightclub for dancing on your feet.
GETTING THERE
Getting to the venue
It is on Osmancık Sokak (No:5/A) in central Kadıköy's Osmanağa Mahallesi, on a side street between Altıyol's Bull Statue and the waterfront. From the Kadıköy ferry piers, Marmaray or metro station, walk through the market area toward the Bull for just 5–10 minutes.
