Bar Details

This spot in Istanbul usually gets busier early on from 6 pm until midnight. Crowd skews on the younger side usually but does get a mix of many ages. If you are looking for an "early" drinking spot in Istanbul, then stop into Mor Kedi for a cocktail (or more) and mingle with Turkish locals.
