This chain of pubs operates in several Turkish cities (e.g., İzmir, Istanbul, Antalya) under the umbrella of the operator Osmanlı Gıda. It offers a familiar pub experience with beers, cocktails, live sports screens, and casual dining fare, making it a recognised name for pub‑culture in Turkey
The North Shield bills itself as Turkey’s first and only true pub chain, with its first location opening in 1990 in Ataköy Marina, İstanbul. Over the years it has expanded across the country with multiple branches offering imported beers, single‑malt whiskies, and a classic pub atmosphere intended to echo British‑style pubs.
