... And that was just Saturday...
On Sunday we went out to celebrate Jenna Fikes' birthday.
Her and I had both been really excited to try this bar that we had found on spottedbylocals.com.
The place is called Karga, and it looked cool.
Little did we know that we had found the best bar in Istanbul.
Of course, the first requirement for a gem is that it is advertised very little. Check. This place doesn't have a sign, an ad, or even writing letting you know you've found it.
Instead, there is simply a little logo above the door:
It opens up into an old, converted four-story bar. At the entrence is a DJ booth lined with CDs from a huge variety of genres (Radiohead was the choice when we were there). Every floor has it's own mini bar, and is pock-marked by random assortments of tables, chairs, artwork, and unique lighting.
It's simply fantastic. It's what every bar should aspire to become.
And they had Guinness on tap. Got my St. Patty's Day in, after all.
Sláinte.
