Upperist

Sunset brings lounge, jazz, nu-jazz and ethnic ambient; closer to midnight, melodic house, deep house, R&B mixes and dance remixes take over. Local and resident DJs perform daily from sunset. Music accompanies dinner and cocktails before moving toward a dance pace later.

On the 20th-floor terrace with glass railings, low lounge seats, pale tables and a simple bar are arranged to keep the view open. The outlook spans Taksim Square, the Golden Horn, the historic peninsula and the Bosphorus, changing from warm sunset colors to bright city lights.

A rooftop restaurant-bar focused on sunset views, sharing plates and cocktails, becoming more animated with DJs later in the evening.

Couples seeking sunset drinks, friends meeting in Taksim with a view, hotel guests and city visitors who want to socialize to DJ music later.

Choose comfortable evening clothing suitable for the weather.

On Upperist's rooftop, the crowd grows livelier as sunset gives way to night. Groups gathered at the tables dance facing one another, and hands rise to the DJ's music. Bottles at the bar and the preparation of drinks are another part of the terrace's activity. Once the decorative lighting comes on, the view of city and water becomes the backdrop to this open-air party.

Upperist attracts significant interest thanks to its panoramic Istanbul views from the rooftop of The Marmara Taksim, its sunsets, DJ sets, and cocktails. The greeting and service staff are generally considered polite, prompt, and helpful, and the pizzas and snacks are well-liked. Although walk-ins are possible, one may have to stand or wait for a table during peak hours. The volume of the speakers near the windows can make conversation difficult, and the music selection may not appeal to everyone. There is a detailed complaint regarding a pre-approved birthday cake that was not permitted to be used during the photo session. Obtaining written confirmation of special celebration policies and arriving early to secure a good view can help ensure a smoother experience.
