Lonely Planet review for Leb-İ Derya

Ask many İstanbullus to name their favourite watering hole and they’re likely to nominate this unpretentious place. On the top floor of a dishevelled building off İstiklal, it has wonderful views across to the Old City and down the Bosphorus, meaning that seats on the small outdoor terrace or at the bar are highly prized. There’s also food on offer.

    great bar

    bulaska recommends this,

    It is a great bar although a bit hard to find. But the view is amazing! The only bad thing are the prices which are quite high (26 TL for a cocktail).

    A wonderful surprise in Beyoglu

    pearljamm recommends this,

    This Leb-i Derya as the one in Richmond Hotel is also one of the best views ever. The first time I entered the building located in Kumbaraci, Beyoglu, it was a big surprise to see such a wonderful view and decorated restaurant at the 6th floor of a normal Taksim building. The food is amazing, service is great and if you prefer to only have drinks the make awesome coctails. A great spot to chill with friends or have a romantic evening with someone special.
