Art Istanbul Cafe & Bar
Welcome to Art Istanbul Cafe & Bar, a delightful art cafe nestled in the heart of Beyoglu, near the iconic Bull Statue. Located at Kuloglu, Dernek Sk No:8, this vibrant spot is not just a place to grab a drink—it’s an experience that combines a rich community vibe with a touch of artistic flair.
At Art Istanbul, you’ll find an eclectic mix of locals and travelers, all drawn together by a shared appreciation for good company and delightful beverages. The moment you step inside, the charming atmosphere envelopes you, featuring an artistic decor that pays homage to the rich cultural tapestry of Turkey. Whether you choose to sit indoors among the lively chatter or prefer the fresh air of the outdoor seating area, the café radiates a welcoming ambiance that encourages conversation and connection.
Customer Eli Kaplan captures the spirit perfectly, commenting on the great prices for drinks combined with the terrific community vibe: “Great price for drinks, really good community vibe.” There’s a sense of belonging here that you won’t find in many places—where everyone feels at home, whether they’re enjoying a refreshing beer or a cup of Turkish coffee.
One visitor, irmak, shares a whimsical experience: “It was like we were sitting on the legs of Sultan Solomon.” This enchanting feeling extends to the staff, with one standout server fluent in Indonesian, adding an exciting international flair to your experience. Plus, with a nominal service charge of only 150 Turkish liras, indulging in this vibrant café won’t break the bank.
Returning visitor Steve Kyne highlights how the café became his go-to in Istanbul: “The 120 lira a beer all-day happy hour was what got me in.” While he found the food to be standard bar fare, the friendly and attentive staff made him feel right at home. Just remember, if you prefer to avoid smoke, opt for an outside table—your comfort matters here.
As you immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere, you’ll be surrounded by lively conversations, personal stories, and warm greetings—like those from Oscar Decoster, who enjoyed his beer time with a welcoming community. “Great peoples and ambiance,” he notes, sending his regards to one of the friendly servers.
