Arsen Lüpen Taksim - Taksimo

Attended a standup here. It was nice and the staff is friendly. Good meetup and networking place. A lot of foreigners hangout here.

The vips in this place are awesome, you can find people there from everywhere in the world as they consistently host events for expats in Istanbul. Yet, they are in the most popular place in Turkey. Wether you are a tourist, or resident or citizen, I would recommend this place for you

Pretty good bar, but again, everyone is smoking inside so you'll smell like an ash tray when you leave.

The place is fun but I want to complain about the song dj on karaoke nights. He never puts songs in order, skips 10 (songs) and doesn’t let you sing yours in the end. Yes, I sang in the beginning but I arrived early and it’s my right to sing in the order I wrote my song in. Would be 5 stars honestly if not for that MAJOR letdown.

On Wednesday and Thursday they have International Language Exchange, Beer Pong and Karaoke. After we liked the venue, every weekend we started to go to see the live bands.
