well, this is a new fancy place in Cayyolu region of Ankara, the capital. I used to go to their other branches that were around downtown Ankara when I was in college. 10 years after college, I am back to Ankara for personal and business reasons and I am glad to see that they now have a branch on my neighborhood.
It is certainly a nice place, good service and a very nice patio. Well yes, they also a have good heating system that compliments the patio and I was able to enjoy it in late October.
Prices are high though; I paid 36 TL for 2 pints of Guinness. It is relatively OK based on the current exchange rates; at 2.25TL = 1 USD, you pay $ 8 for a pint, which is kind of equivalent to the price you would pay T a similar place in USA… that being said, consider the purchasing power parity, and think about paying $ 18 per pint of Guinness, this place would be out of business if this was its pricing policy in USA.
I automatically assign 4 stars to any bar that carry a good stout (preferably Guinness) and knows how to pout it… so why 3? Their pours has a metal smell, they may need maintain their N2 system, also they do not have any fish and chips in their menu.
Still, it is one of the nicer bars that you would enjoy in Ankara, if you do not mind the price.
Cheers!

I thought the service was good and prices were a little hight to keep the rif raf out. Paid 25usd for a beer and a long island
