EDITOR'S REVIEW
Get to know the venue before you go
The Harp Sahne turns the upper floor of a long-established Kadıköy pub into a separate room for regular comedy and small performances. The pub’s social energy and fast-moving bills of four or five comedians make it easy to pair drinks with a live show.
Music & programme
The downstairs Irish pub plays rock classics and pub songs; softer music plays upstairs before shows. Music stops during stand-up. Consult the current calendar for mixed bills, English comedy, quizzes and improv.
Atmosphere
The upstairs room on Misbah Muayyeş Sokak has black brickwork, a colorful stage curtain, one microphone and chairs and tables for the audience. The noise of the downstairs pub is audible near the door; when the spotlights come on, attention shifts to the small stage.
Concept
An upstairs event room linked to an Irish pub, hosting stand-up, theatre, open mics, quizzes and creative workshops. Comedy bills usually comprise four or five acts doing short sets.
Guest profile
Kadıköy pub regulars, young professionals adding comedy to a night with friends, fans of four- or five-comedian bills, visitors seeking English shows and quiz or workshop attendees.
Dress code
Casual clothes suit both the pub and the performance floor: jeans, T-shirt, sweater, shirt or everyday dress. Consider the stairs and table seating before wearing high heels.
Customer Review Summary
Reviews for The Harp Sahne are limited in number but largely positive. A warm, friendly atmosphere, Irish beers, Saturday stand-up shows, and attentive staff make it an appealing spot to hang out with friends. Regulars find the shows entertaining and the drink selection adequate. However, the small stage and external noise can sometimes detract from viewing comfort during performances. Aside from one vague negative experience regarding New Year's Eve, there appear to be no recurring serious issues. It is a great choice for those seeking a blend of comedy and a pub atmosphere; sitting closer to the stage may help mitigate sound issues.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights
A pub and separate stage in one building, regular weekend comedy, strong sound and lighting, continuing food and drink service and an easy-to-find central Kadıköy address.
NOTE
Before your visit
The Harp Irish Pub and The Harp Sahne occupy different floors of the same building. Ask for the upstairs room where tickets are checked rather than sitting in the bar. Since service continues during shows, finish ordering before the comedian takes the stage if you want fewer interruptions.
