Craft Beer Lab

The experience

Craft Beer Lab is a craft-beer bar in a historic building on Şair Nedim Caddesi in the Akaretler stretch of Beşiktaş, opened by Craft Beer Istanbul. It runs around 20 rotating taps and stocks over 100 bottled beers alongside world-cuisine food, with a back garden and an industrial two-level interior. It stays open into the early hours at weekends.

The deepest craft-beer selection in central Istanbul, with a garden, for a beer-led rather than cocktail night.
