"World Music and Balkan Beats High above the side streets of Taksim, on the rooftop of an old building, Araf Bar streams out world music and Balkan beats with live performances and DJs every night of the week. If you're used to dancing to 4/4 beats of western music, then you might have to sit out a few dances, take in the views of Istanbul , and absorb the Turkish 9/8 rhythm often played here. It's a little tricky to dance to at first—but made easier with an Efes beer or two under your belt!"
