Former antique shop turned speakeasy: billiards, vintage decor, theatrical cocktails
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
A former antique shop transformed into a speakeasy with billiards, plush vintage furniture, and theatrical cocktails. Karloff captures the spirit of a members' club without the exclusion, the crowd is interesting, the drinks are serious, and the transition to late-night feels organic.
Editor's Tip
Speakeasy register: the billiards table and vintage decor are the room's working theatre, and the cocktail program backs it up. Tell the bartender what spirit you trust and let them improvise; the printed menu is a baseline. Reserve mid-week; weekends bring a Nişantaşı crowd that loses the speakeasy feel.
