The Populist

Couldn't beleive that I can get a such superb ambiance and christmas vibes drink and gathering with my lovely friends here!

So, not an easy job to get a place if you dont have booking in advance but staff were lind enough to give us a place! I could see there are various scenarios to enjoy the location including balcony but it was cold that time! We enjoyed there smoking and wlooking at the cool view of the yard from there!

Back to the table, perfect freshly prepared beer with nice accompanied cozy and friendly food choices makes you lose the pass of time and enjoy the moments!

Fried items are perfectly prepared with fresh oil and you can easily recognize it that this place is not drink only place but a serious eating experience with more of a dance and drink vibe!

As a car guy, just loved the decoration and VW bus inside as a mobile bar area!

Thank you for everything!

Caner is the best. We came here a few times before, and the customer service was never that good. This time, we were served by Caner, the experience is much much better. He is professional and attentive. Also the friend chicken tasted amazing.

The Populist I frequent is at Galataport İstanbul. The service is spot on, the music and atmosphere is great. I love the salmon salad!! This is the best one I’ve had in Istanbul!

This Bar is located in an old bomonti fabric area. They made they own beer 🍺 and its very tasty. I guess they have more than 10 different sorts of beer. Toilets are very clean and service stuff are very friendly. Prices are ok, only the cocktails are a bit expensive. We will definitely come back and try also some food here. For all beer lovers this is the right Address in Istanbul.

It is really nice place. You have multiple options for tables. Second floor balcony, two story in side and first floor outside. Their waiters are nice, they know English a little and understand what you need and describe what they serve. So you do not have issues. The taste on meat in Turkey 🇹🇷 it is really deferent. So if you don’t like strong smell of meat, do not order it. It is not a issue of restaurant, it is the smell of meat in most of the restaurant in Turkey 🇹🇷.
The prices comparing with US, it not expensive. We order a family size BBQ for something around 230TL around $40. Beers 🍻 are around 40TL ($7). (The currency exchange will depend to your card or cash exchange)

This was a cool place to try, the food was served quick and staff was helpful

We found this place while looking for an Irish Pub themed place with our friends. We were welcomed very warmly by Ms. Beyza and she helped us find what we were looking for. Afterwards, Mr. Eray helped us to taste the beers that were close to our taste in order to find the beer we were looking for. On the one hand, he explained the contents of the beers we drank and we tasted them. Their beers were really great. All staff were friendly and service was good. If you are looking for quality service in such a beautiful view, you should definitely try it. We would like to thank all the staff, especially Mr. Eray and Ms. Beyza. We will definitely come again!

It's close to Bomonti Hotel
I went there for dinner and it was full of people, very crowded
And this time, I went there for lunch
Chicken is really crispy with yummy sos together
They serve their own beer which is very delicious

We had dinner in a restaurant as a family
A very cool place.. a cool atmosphere and the food is excellent (we were less attached to the desserts)
For starters we ordered the smoked sausages which were excellent and the nuggets which were very tasty, in addition we ordered vegan focaccia which was great.
For main dishes we ordered fish and chips and the smoked meat dishes (9-10 hours), it was wonderful!.
We ordered all the desserts and less connected..
It is highly recommended to visit this restaurant!

Really good brewery in a nice location with a nice crowd. Usually busy in the weekends. If you prefer a table outside you have to wait for 10-30 min. Good for families and big groups.

Decent place for a few beers..food looks good, didnt try just yet :)

One of the best beer houses of İstanbul, if not the best. It’s especially crowded at the weekends by young people. Come taste the pleasure of drinking at open weather.

Set in an old brewery, this new brewery, bar, restaurant offers a number of classic home brews, from Kolsch, to IPA and Helles, Pale Ale but also a few innovative brews like their tasty honey and pepper beer. Great service, various ambiances at various levels, worth walking around!

One of not so many craft beer places in Istanbul. It is a bit off the touristic places, but we really enjoyed walking there from Besiktas.

Definitely worth the visit - beer is great. Especially we enjoyed "biere de garde" - amazing flavour and rich aftertaste. Also tried Red Ale and Nitro Stout - they were also good.

It's a five star kind of place. The house made beer is actually good and the food is not very serious but very delicious. #1 for beer in Istanbul

Great food and nice beer. Been there for business event, felt the food and beer were to our liking!

One of the best Cheeseburgers in town. The Southwest Salad is to die for. The Populist has its own special brewery with great beers and cocktails. One of the speciality is that it sits in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere with multiple stalls, bars and restaurants around a nice open space. Recommended for a nice evening.

Last stop of Istanbul - chilling while shielding ourselves from the rain. Thank you for the good craft beer, warm hospitality and comfortable ambience.

Good environment with good design! Suitable for hanging with friends. Also the fresh beer is interesting!

Good vide and great service!
