Ziba

The street that snakes away from the hustle and bustle of Istiklal Caddesi and down past Ara Kafe leads to one of Beyoğlu’s most vibrant corners, where you’ll be greeted by a crowd spilling out onto the backstreet. Ziba, the establishment responsible for the commotion, is a great little bar whose relaxed vibe and intimate atmosphere has made it a Beyoğlu favourite. In the summer months, the breezy terrace helps accommodate its usually overcapacity crowd, though the pleasant weather draws in even more people than usual and we’re just happy to be standing on the buzzing street with a beer in hand waiting for a table that never comes.
