Head to this hang-out near the Trojan Horse for a hamburger, fajitas or pizza. Louder as the night gets older, the music is indie and Western rather than Turkish pop. Regulars like to meet up with friends, use the free wi-fi and play tavla (backgammon). Look forward to a decent range of Turkish and international beers.
