Long-haired leather-clad Anatolian rockers, wrinkled beatniks, students and ex-pats make up the crowd, drawn by a mix of blues and rock, and Chicago-style jazz that rocks the house on Wednesdays. There’s a good ventilation system to expel the copious cigarette smoke and the sound system is excellent. This is one of the best rock bars on the Asian side. Sway to the rhythms of swing, bebop, improv and global fusions all night long. Live music starts after 9p.
