    Chianti Bar

    I went there yesterday evening with my bf - was a bit hard to find, as we had no network coverage with our sim cards. When we entered, we were greeted friendly - we were told that 1 drink was 40 TRL, so we ordered a Whiskey-Coke each. Soon not only our drinks came (we don't know the brand of Whiskey they put into it, as Jack Daniels was unknown to our waiter), but also 3 fruit plates and some rosé sparkling wine and nuts etc. - all stuff, we had not ordered. The waiter smoked and asked us for a light, despite us stating that we do not smoke. Next, he offered us women and when we told him that we are gay, he offered us men. Soon after we arrived, the music volume was turned up to a level that can raise the dead and deafen the living. When we decided to leave, we were presented with a bill of over 400 TRL, including all the stuff, we had not ordered. We refused to pay the extras but did not even get our change for the 100 TRL note. So this is definitely not a gay bar and it is a tourist rip off!!! Beware!!

    If you meet with a friend and want to have a chat over a beer, then this is the ideal place for you. It has a nice little back garden and the music is not too loud. Friendly staff & atmosphere, drinks could've been cheaper tho.
