Fahrī Konsolos

Istanbul, Turkey

Fahrī Konsolos is a small cocktail bar on Dr. Esat Işık Caddesi in Kadıköy, and Time Out İstanbul includes it in its guide to the city's best cocktail bars, calling it one of Kadıköy's best-loved, and says none of its cocktails can be found anywhere else. Several drinks draw on the Turkish pantry: sumac leaves the dinner table for the glass, and tarhana and ayran turn up in unfamiliar forms. For autumn the team changed a few recipes and brought back its Vampir Beğendi. Garnishes are prepared for each drink to complete its character, and the room itself is tiny.
