Cemal Sokak

Trabzon


The nearest thing central Trabzon gets to a bar strip is a handful of places huddled near the north end of Cemal Sokak.

For beer and live music, a friendly if fairly forgettable place is Saneh at number 3. Across the road, more entertainingly designed Dede Cafe is pleasant for soft drinks but no longer serves alcohol.
