Frankie Istanbul – The Sofa Hotel

The food was good. The other patrons are fun and pretty. I think our experience would have been better if we had stayed for the live music portion of the meal. The final bill was expensive, but nothing too crazy.

Frankie es el bar de hotel mas chic de Estambul. Está ubicado en el último piso del Sofa Hotel, en medio de una hermosa calle de Nisantasi, el distrito comercial por excelencia.
La experiencia Frankie es interesante, pero no para cualquiera. Los fines de semana suele ser ruidoso y algo incómodo, ya que muta desde temprano de bar a full disco, con pista de baile, música en vivo, casamientos, cumpleaños, bautismos, etc. Podés encontrar absolutamente cualquier tipo de evento en uno de esos días. En la semana es mas tranquilo, mayormente frecuentado por huéspedes del hotel o bebedores con gustos algo mas tranquilos.
La calidad de la cocktelería es buena, aunque nada que ver con lo que nos hemos acostumbrado hoy en Buenos Aires o con lo que podría esperar algún viajero frecuente de paladar seco. Los precios son algo mas elevados que en otros bares, pero un poco compensa que sea mas expat-​friendly que la mayoria de los otros lugares de la ciudad.
Una buen opción para una velada con aire elegante, o para tomar una copa apreciando otra de las tantas vistas hermosas de la bella ex-​Constantinopla.

If you are in Istanbul, Frankie is the one and only place for a great night out. The food, the coctails as well as the entertainment is top notch. Congrats to the” hands on management team”. They deserve more than 5 stars.

Its a very nice place for a decent nite-​out with friends. Crowd is nice. No ‘Look at me! Look at me!’ people who spoils the fun. Music, food, drinks are all great. They dont have big dance floor, but doesnt seem to stop any one to enjoy the music.
The view impresses first timers, but for people who has been around they probably wont go there for the view.
I have been there with friends abroad, it was always liked.
It could be good choice for business dinners.
Food is good, wine selection even better.
I think I have enjoyed most the music.

Definitely a place i would recommend. View is amazing, food and drinks also.
Later in the evening there is live band performing mostly older Turkish and International songs. Group and singer also quite nice to listen and fun could inspire people to dance even. Will go again for sure.
