The Garden Bar was a cabaret bar located in Istanbul, Turkey during the early 20th century. It was owned by the former black marketeer Halit Vatansever during the Allied Occupation of Constantinople, and it was frequented by British Army officers and soldiers on occupation duty. The bar featured foreign singers and dancers, as there was a cultural and legal taboo against Muslim Turkish women performing. In a turn of events, it was destroyed via bomb in 1941 by Halit and his son Ahmet Soystren in order to restore the time-traveling capabilities of the Pera Palace Hotel. Originally, before the passage of time was changed, the bar was demolished in 1939 and turned into a parking lot.
