About Yasef'in Meyhanesi

Yasefin Meyhanesi is a meyhane on Ataturk Caddesi, the Kordon seafront road in Alsancak, that revives a tavern from the 1930s. According to the 2026 Oggusto guide to Izmir restaurants, a meyhane called Aslan Yasefin Yeri welcomed guests in the Ikicesmelik quarter of Izmir in the 1930s and witnessed much of the collective memory of the city. Exactly 80 years after it closed, Can Aslan, a fourth-generation grandson of Aslan Yasef, brought it back to life in Alsancak under the name Yasefin Meyhanesi, specially decorated to keep the character of the old place. The guide describes a friendly atmosphere and singles out its meze and main dishes. The meyhane marked its third year on the Kordon in October 2024, and its Facebook page carries recent posts about its food.
