Full description
Topside Bar occupies the fifth floor and roof of the Peninsula hotel by the port, in a setting guests liken to a classic ocean liner. Reviewers highlight the wide view across the Bosphorus and the city skyline, including the Galata Tower, and describe an intimate, subtly upscale atmosphere.
The drinks list is well regarded, and visitors specifically mention a good local and imported wine selection. It suits couples and anyone wanting a refined evening drink with an open-air panorama, and the late hours allow for a long sunset-to-night stay.

Reviews
Located on 5th floor and roof of Peninsula hotel. Beautiful setting, reminiscent of a classical line cruiser, with an incredible view over the Bosphorus and the city, one of the best bar you can imagine. Excellent choice of finger food and exciting selection of house cocktails. Service is welcoming and friendly.
