11 Kadıköy is the all-day option on the Asian side. This modern cocktail bar and kitchen on a Caferağa side street pours from late morning to 2am, which makes it the rare Moda room that works for a daytime drink, a happy-hour round and a late one.
The address is Arayıcıbaşı Sokak No:11 in Caferağa, a short walk inland from the Kadıköy ferry piers and the Moda seafront, tucked off the main Moda Caddesi run. RestaurantGuru, Foursquare and the bar's own Instagram all describe the same setup: a sharply designed room that leads with cocktails and shots, then backs them with a broad world-kitchen menu of steaks, burgers and pizzas. Time Out's Kadıköy-Moda guide places this stretch at the centre of the district's drinking scene, and 11 sits comfortably inside it.
The room is contemporary and bright by Moda standards, built for groups as much as solo drinkers. It opens at 11am and runs to 2am daily, with the kitchen serving through to late evening, so the bar shifts from a relaxed afternoon spot into a fuller late-night room as the street wakes up. The crowd is young, local and east-side, the Kadıköy regulars who treat the neighbourhood as their own rather than a night out across the water.
Time the visit to the happy hour, which is the bar's calling card and the reason to arrive before the evening rush. The cocktail list is broad rather than purist, so a well-made classic or one of the house mixes pairs naturally with a plate from the kitchen if you are settling in for the night. Prices sit at a fair $$ for central Kadıköy, helped further by the happy-hour discount, which keeps 11 firmly in the everyday-night bracket rather than the special-occasion one. Order a round, add a few small plates, and treat it as a base for a longer crawl through Moda.
The energy builds through the evening. An early visit gets you the calm, well-priced version with the pick of the tables; a late one trades that for a busier, louder room as the kitchen winds down and the bar takes over.
11 Kadıköy is for the group that wants drinks and food in one room, for a casual east-side night, and for anyone who values a happy hour and long opening hours over a tight, purist list. It is the wrong call for a quiet, design-led cocktail experience. To round out a Moda crawl, compare house programs with Fahri Konsolos nearby, or drift toward the cocktail rooms of Arkaoda and Geyik in Kadıköy.

What sets 11 apart is flexibility rather than specialism. Where Moda's design-led bars ask you to come for one thing at one hour, 11 covers the whole arc of a day, which is genuinely useful in a district built for wandering. The trade-off is focus. The broad food-and-drink menu means the cocktail list is wide rather than deep, and a purist after a tight, seasonal program will find more at the neighbourhood's specialist rooms. As an all-day anchor for a Kadıköy night, though, it earns its corner.
Best time to go is the happy-hour window in the early evening, when the prices are sharpest and the room still has space. Save the late hours for when you want the busier, louder version with the kitchen still turning out plates.
