I am based at the Faros Hotel Taksim, so right near the square there are 2x Irish pubs, James Joyce and the U2. Might be worth checking. For those all nighters there is actually a club called Villa Hall near the square also haha!

But aren't James Joyce and U2 two of the worst things about Ireland?  :-X

Anyone travelling on 17:35 from Brum on Tuesday arriving 23:30 in Istanbul and interested in sharing a Taxi to Taksim please let me know via PM?

Me and my mate are, albeit staying in Sultanahmet. Welcome to jump in with us to there if that helps?

I read on FB that a lot of Villa congregated near Sultanahmet Square for Fenerbace, so we're booked near there.

I’m booked near there too and getting a taxi from SAW at 1800 on Monday if anyone wants to share.

It’s near all the main tourist sites and I’m assured there will be plenty of Villa supporters around there. I booked in Feb so didn’t know about Taksim then.

Anyone know a good place to head for Monday evening as I’ll be tight for time.

Theres a fab little cobbled street between the Big Blue Mosque and the sea. There's 6 or 7 really good bars along there, and some nice restaurants. If you look for Rounders Irish bar, thats in the middle
We based there for the Fanebace game in Jan, they made us really welcome

Thank you. That’s great and near where I’m staying. Can find the wider fan base on Tuesday!
