Efes Pub

Draft beer by Gate 108 at Efes Pub

Efes Pub sits airside in the International terminal near Gate 108, a few steps from several duty-free shops. It’s a straight shot from passport control, so you see it quickly after security. Seats are mostly high stools and small tables, and it fills up before evening departures to Europe.

The menu leans on beer and basic bar food: bottled and draft Efes, simple sandwiches, and bar snacks. Expect airport pricing: a draft beer usually lands in the mid-€7–€9 range, and a basic sandwich often pushes €10–€12. Portion sizes skew small, so this works better as a pre-flight drink stop than a full dinner.

Service pace depends on the bank of departures; during the 18:00–22:00 wave it can take 10–15 minutes just to flag staff, while mid-morning flights see quicker turnaround. There’s no table QR-ordering, so you order and pay directly with the server or at the counter. Cards are accepted, and they charge in Turkish lira with dynamic currency conversion occasionally offered.

Food-wise, the safer bets are simple: fries, nuts, and cold sandwiches. Anything heavily fried during peak hours can arrive lukewarm, and the menu isn’t great for specific dietary needs beyond basic vegetarian options like cheese toast. There’s no kids’ menu, but staff usually split portions if you ask.

The bar area has a partial view of the apron, but power outlets are limited to a few spots along the wall, and Wi‑Fi is just the standard ADB airport network. Screens show live departure boards and football when a major match is on, which can make it loud during big games.

Tip: If your flight boards from a remote stand, finish your drink at least 30 minutes before departure; bus gates at the far end of the International terminal add a 5–10 minute walk from Efes Pub.
