The Best Rooftop Bars and Restaurants in Istanbul | Condé Nast Traveler

"Situated above the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, Monkey Istanbul is a great place to head up for sunset drinks overlooking the Golden Horn and Historical Peninsula before late-night events at Salon İKSV; I followed locals in sampling mocktails or the signature “Hot Passion” cocktail while guest DJs played disco and house music." - Amelia Dhuga, Robert McKelvey

A stylish rooftop bar with a terrace area, excellent cocktails, and panoramic views over the Golden Horn and the historic old town. Highly recommende

The view is great. It is one of the best top bars in Istanbul. Cocktails include minimum amount of alcohol. Try the dry ones. If you need a view-by spot, you should ask. Hence the circulation is high, they put you in a good place. The crowd is ok. The music is somehow boring but generally popular world hits.

Nice rooftop bar but very overpriced.

Excellent and unique cocktails with a fantasti view. Rustic furniture but excellent soundtrack with live DJ even when we went on a Thursday night which made a great atmosphere even though it wasn't too busy. They were playing deep house with a Turkish influence! Plus the staff were nice and even offered to take out photo whilst we were there. A great place to watch the sun set over the golden horn! Would definitely go again. We also went to Istanbul360 which was way overpriced and the view wasn't anywhere near as good. Go to Monkeyistanbul instead!

Great views of the golden horn. A bit crowded but great for sunset or night drinks

Awful service and very overpriced drinks. Was told they have no mocktails as all the cocktails are ‘ready made’. Was charged 300 TL for the smallest glass of water and waiter completely ignored us throughout. Was just given a card machine with no bill at the end and told service charge could not be removed. I’m sure there are other bars with great views and better service.

The view is stunning, but the cocktails aren’t worth the price. average flavors, and nothing special. the vibe felt more about the location than the experience. Come for the view, but don’t expect much from the drinks.

This bar got the perfect location with a wonderful view over the city. Perfect place for sunsets. Sadly the drinks are incredibly expensive and not the really best ones. Aperol Spritz 800TL, any beer around 500TL, any other cocktail at least 750TL. At the end on the bill I saw that they also putted more than 10% tips that you have to pay…
