The 5.Kat (Beşinci Kat) rooftop terrace bar and restaurant in Istanbul still has two small covered parts: one is this small cozy kiosk, the other is the bar area. But rest assure, from both places you can still see the sun set over the Bosphorus.

This the bar at the open rooftop terrace of 5.Kat (Beşinici Kat) in Chihangir, Istanbul. During the summertime, you can enjoy a variety of drinks prepared by the xcellent bar staff, including an excellent selection of cocktails.

The 5.Kat (Beşinci Kat) rooftop bar and restaurant in Istanbul is the ideal place to enjoy food and/or drinks while overlooking the Bosphorus and Sultanahmet. It is located in the modern part of Istanbul, on the fifth floor in Cihangir backstreet, only a 10 minute walk from Taksim Square.

The transition of the pretty spacy and stylishly decoratated inside area to the by contrast very tiny but extremely cozy terrace of Leb-i-Derya. Leb-i-Derya is still one of the best rooftop bars and restaurants in Taksim.

Please look beyond the impressive collection of liquor in this image of the Leb-i-Derya bar, Istanbul’s rooftop bar pioneer and still going great. It’s all above the nice views this pub/bar/restaurant has to offer – in this case the Golden Horn flowing into the Bosphorus.
