Bar

From charming wine bars to pulsing nightclubs, the island offers something for everyone

More than 1,000 enterprises risk high fines that reach up to 20,000 euros each, now, or even more in the future, for failing to comply with regulations on connecting card terminals (POS) with their cash registers.

Within the scope of the project initiated by the Culture and Tourism Ministry to preserve folk music for future generations, folklore researchers are recording folk songs sung by deceased bards and local artists in the eastern province of Erzurum.

Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has said the eastern province of Şırnak's Mt. Gabar and Mt. Cudi, where the PKK is stationed, will be cleaned of terror as of 2023, noting that many others have been cleared of terrorists so far.

Istanbul Bar has found Fatma Begüm Kaçmaz, a female lawyer accused of breaking the advertising law in her profession by broadcasting videos on her social media account gaining fame by it, not guilty and said there is no need for a disciplinary penalty.

Kaçmaz opened a social media account named "Adliyede bir gün," (A day at courthouse), in 2019 and aired videos showing her at work.

A new door of a nightclub directly opening to an ancient temple in the Mediterranean resort town of Side has raised eyebrows.

A restaurant adjacent to the ruins of the ancient city of Side was recently turned into a nightclub named Apollon.

As of today (January 27), restaurants in Sofia must admit customers at half their maximum capacity, and employees and visitors must have a COVID-19 certificate (for vaccination, post-illness, testing or antibodies). In addition, the opening hours of establishments, gambling halls, and casinos must be limited to 22 p.m.

As of today, restrictions on the operation of shopping malls are lifted. From April 16, visits to gaming halls and casinos are allowed, but when using no more than 50% of their capacity.

There's something missing from a new wave of bars opening around the world: Alcohol.

On March 1, restaurants and entertainment venues reopen for customers. By order of Bulgaria's Minster of Health, the dining establishments are required to work at no more than half their seating capacity, with no more than six customers per table. 

Meanwhile, the staff is required to wear face masks. The restaurants are allowed to work until 11.00 pm.
