Bomontiada is a popular entertainment and recreation complex in one of Istanbul’s most attractive neighborhoods, Bomonti, Şişli, on the European side of the city. This buzzy complex is located in the courtyard of the historical Bomonti Beer Factory, which was established in 1890 and became one of the pioneering industrial facilities of the Ottoman Era. Inspired from the concept of German “Biergarten”, the factory’s courtyard served as Bomonti Beer Garden, where people could get together, dine and drink freshly brewed beer between 1930-1950. The brewery factory lasted until 1991 and later it was renovated and repurposed to become a buzzy entertainment and nightlife center with several restaurants, pubs, shops and art galleries and a performance courtyard. All venues are interconnected in this entertainment hub of Istanbul.
