5 Reasons to Go to the Istanbul Cocktail Takeover at Chiave, Shoreditch

London Food & Drink | Sunday 11 October 2026, 7pm – 11pm

For one night only, Istanbul’s cocktail scene is coming to Shoreditch. Award-winning bartender Burak Türkkan and Fable Cocktail Service are taking over Chiave, the intimate cocktail and listening bar on Redchurch Street, on Sunday 11 October.

Here are five reasons to go.

1. A champion behind the bar

Burak Türkkan was the 2021 Türkiye Champion of Diageo World Class, one of the most respected bartending competitions in the world. Here’s your chance to try his drinks without booking a flight.

2. Cocktails inspired by Istanbul

The exclusive menu of signature cocktails draws on Istanbul’s neighbourhoods, spice markets and centuries-old aromatic traditions, blending Turkish flavours with modern mixology.

3. A multi-sensory journey

Each drink is designed to evoke something of the city, from the breeze of the Bosphorus to the scent of the spice bazaars and Anatolia’s aromatic heritage. It’s billed as more of a cultural conversation between Istanbul and London than a simple tasting.

4. One of Shoreditch’s best bars

Chiave is a stylish, intimate listening bar known for its creative cocktails and great music. If you’ve been meaning to visit, this is a special night to try it.

5. One night only

This is a single Sunday evening from 7pm to 11pm, and Chiave is a small space. Make it the highlight of your weekend.
