Arap Şükrü Meyhaneleri

About the Venue

Bursa's legendary entertainment street, Sakarya Caddesi, is popularly known as "Arap Şükrü" after the first tavern keeper who made it famous. The tables filling both sides of the narrow street take on a lively meyhane atmosphere come evening. In the row of taverns, the trio of rich meze platters, fresh fish and rakı takes pride of place; a table that begins with Albanian liver, sea beans and seasonal mezes is crowned with grilled fish. Fasıl music drifting from table to table adds a cheerful rhythm to the night. With its crowded, warm and exuberant air, Arap Şükrü is an essential stop for those who want to experience Bursa's traditional meyhane culture in its most authentic form.
