This famous boza bar was established in 1875, and locals still flock here to drink the stuff — a thick, viscous, fermented-grain beverage with a reputation for building strength and virility. The tiled interior with mirrored columns, marble tables and wooden bar is worth a visit in its own right. If the boza is too confrontational, try a şıra, a fermented grape juice.
