Gizli Bahçe

I've been going to this bar forever (like 10 years) until they hired a super aggressive door man who frequently turns away patrons. I can't just tell my friends to come anymore because I have to escort them in every time. Very annoying. I'm hoping they chill out soon and stop pretending to be exclusive. They're not.

Don't let the name deceive you! Gizli Bahçe is neither a) secret nor b) a garden. It is instead a building with three or four floors of very comfortable seating and living room tables. It's hard with a big group because the furniture is so large and hard to move, but I was there for the pregaming stage of a birthday party. We had fun, but not really because of the place. Hot, no garden, and overpriced beers = one unhappy poptart (me).

No reason to go to the place, unless you are hiding from someone and are small enough to fit under the furniture.
