Dem Meyhane

Dem Meyhane is a traditional Turkish tavern located in the heart of Ankara's Çankaya neighborhood. The establishment occupies a historic building on Ahmet Mithat Efendi Street, offering an intimate atmosphere with wooden furnishings and soft lighting. Guests can enjoy a wide selection of meze, small dishes like haydari, şakşuka, and lakerda, paired with rakı or local wines. The meyhane experience here is unhurried, often accompanied by live Turkish classical music on certain evenings. What sets Dem Meyhane apart is its dedication to preserving the authentic meyhane culture, where conversation and shared plates take center stage. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and can recommend pairings. It's a favorite among locals for a relaxed evening out, away from the city's more tourist-oriented spots.
