Meyhanes
EDITOR'S REVIEW
Its high Google Maps rating (4.9) and popularity show that Kokoş Cihangir delivers the high-energy entertainment it promises guests. On the Taksim-Cihangir route, it offers a fun escape for unwinding, beginning with tasty meze and ending with the energy of a nightclub.
WHO IT SUITS
A suitable choice for adults who want to have a carefree night with friends, dance freely and sing along loudly. It is unlikely to suit anyone seeking deep conversation across the table or a quiet romantic dinner.
HIGHLIGHTS
Its greatest advantage is an easy-to-reach location on Sıraselviler Caddesi in the heart of Taksim. The generous set-menu contents and DJ-led music and oriental show that maintain their energy throughout the night also set it apart.
NOTE
For budgeting, note that set-menu prices may differ between weekdays and weekends. This is not a classic traditional meyhane centred on fasıl or Turkish classical music; it is a new-generation entertainment venue operating with club dynamics.
GETTING THERE
The venue is on Billurcu Çıkmazı (No:1), Sıraselviler Caddesi, Katip Mustafa Çelebi Mahallesi, Beyoğlu. It is easy to reach: take the M2 (Yenikapı-Hacıosman) metro to Taksim and walk along Sıraselviler Caddesi for a few minutes.
