Istanbul straddles two continents, and Arsenal fans are on both sides. Turkey’s football culture is intense — the Gooners here match it.
Istanbul, Turkey
In the Asmalımescit bar district in Beyoğlu. Proper Irish pub with screens showing live sport. Also has a second branch in Pera. Walking distance from the James Joyce if you want to pub-crawl your way through a match day. Istanbul has more Irish pubs than you'd expect, and this is one of the reliable ones.

Over 1,100 TripAdvisor reviews and a 4.6 rating. Staff will actively hunt down whatever PL match you need. They'll change screens without you having to beg, which is rarer than you'd think. Sirkeci district near Sultanahmet. Easy to find if you're in the tourist centre. The most reliable football-watching spot in Istanbul for a visiting Gooner.
Istanbul's main expat football pub in Beyoğlu, a few minutes from Taksim Square. All major sports on screens. The kind of Irish pub where the barman knows what time Arsenal kick off. Mon-Thu noon to 2am, Fri-Sat to 4am.
