Gizli Bahce

  • September 6, 2000
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Bumut from Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey
This bar is located in a historic building at one of the side entrances to Cicek Pasaji. The name Gizli Bahce means 'Secret Garden', and the bar really has a balcony/terrace that's furnished like a garden corner. The inside rooms are decorated with second hand, big, comfortable armchairs. The music is alternative, indie, drum-n-bass, and the likes of Portishead, Placebo, Garbage, etc. It's one of the favourite relaxing spots of local 'no-future' type youth. But it's perfectly safe, I've never seen a single fight or anything like that here in the last 3 years.
