"World Music and Balkan Beats High above the side streets of Taksim, on the rooftop of an old building, Araf Bar streams out world music and Balkan beats with live performances and DJs every night of the week. If you're used to dancing to 4/4 beats of western music, then you might have to sit out a few dances, take in the views of Istanbul , and absorb the Turkish 9/8 rhythm often played here. It's a little tricky to dance to at first—but made easier with an Efes beer or two under your belt!"

First the real location: not here, not Turnacibaşi either. Araf is actually on Balo Sokaği, just a little south. To find it search for "Shaker Bar" or "Machine Club" which are nearby. Secondly, me and my cousins had a superb night here. The DJ had a top notch selection of world, EDM and club tracks and the interior decor was like a redone woodfloor loft that was great for dancing. The beer on tap was a light session beer that went down great, the dance floor was quiet when we walked in but picked up over the few hours we were there and we met people from all over. Bathrooms were clean. A view of Istanbul from 5 floors up was a pleasant surprise. I'd recommend it to travellers who like a drink, a good vibe and some dancing. This is on a Sunday night, don't know about other nights. Edit: the session beer was not too expensive either. Hi John

this address is wrong. It's on Balo Sokak No:32, not Istiklal. Araf Is a great bar, they have good live music several times a week.

Araf müzikleri ile her zaman etkileyen bir bar olmuştur benim için. Ama on zamanlarda sanki o eski havasını kaybetmiş. Biradan da 17 TL alınması abartılı olmuş. Eskiden daha iyidi.

Muzikler ortam tatmin edici fakat bir de fiyatlar tatmin etse tadindan yenmez. Biraz fazla pahali olmus. Degisik muzikler, erasmus ögrencileri...

Yerel müzikler harika. Tamamen kültürel müzik severlere yönelik bir yer olarak her şey yeterli.
