There's a number of bars there that have subtle hints that they are Villa bars

I see the loving isn't free in that bar.

I arrived on Sunday and followed advice from these guys: https://www.moganddogtravels.com/blogs/saw-airport-to-istanbul-city-center
It worked perfectly. After passport control I just followed word for word and timing of metro(s) couldn't have been better. It was about 50 mins on the M4 and another 10mins on the B1 and I was at Yenikapi station on the European side.
Also very cheap. I put 500tl on the Istabulkart as I am here for a week but each journey costs 50tl so you can add accordingly.

Tracking my brothers flight from Luton. Just flew over the top of Rotterdam. A Wizzair pilot with a sense of humour/history?

Any nice quiet bars around Taksim where boring wankers like me can go and have an awful beer whilst gazing peacefully into the abyss without having to listen to Sweet Caroline nine times in 25 minutes?

The best bet is to Google craft beer bars, which will at least filter out the Irish ones.
