Best Places for Drinks in Çeşme

Stone-walled Hacımemiş room where wine, jazz and Aegean cooking share the same evening, Ozan Musluoğlu directs the music

Thirty-seven local boutique bottles in the village's hundred-year priest's house, fireplace, three rooms upstairs, the bar that built the wine reputation

Small candlelit cocktail room off 2000. Sokak, handcrafted drinks, low volume, the closest the village gets to a proper speakeasy

The Hacımemiş garden-cocktail format done at scale, kitchen runs all day, bar runs late, 150 covers under the trees

Polished Aya Yorgi cove daytime that turns DJ-led after dark, Tayu sushi kitchen on site, the contemporary half of the cove's beach-club pair

Modernised ocakbaşı with a Nişantaşı pedigree, transplanted to the marina with mixologist-led cocktails and grilled meats by the water

All-day kitchen on the yacht slips, French-leaning breakfast through midnight cocktails, run by a working chef line rather than a brand operator

Istanbul's award-winning roaster, seasonally transplanted into a stone house

An owner-poured bar where the cocktail list is rewritten, not reprinted

Championship coffee by day, an award-winning bar by night, on the same counter

A neon-lit courtyard bar that runs on regulars, not reservations for show

Where the night goes when the dinner crowd has gone home

A chef's seafood room with a jazz bar that infuses the Aegean into the glass
