Deep Blue Bar, Fethiye – An Institution

In an ever changing Fethiye, Deep Blue Bar in the old town of Paspatur, has been a constant for over 25 years.

The local Fethiye bar and restaurant scene is constantly evolving. And the pace of change has certainly quickened as the 2020s have progressed.

But Deep Blue Bar has remained a constant throughout all of this. Just doing its thing.

Yes, it’s grown is size – considerably – over those 25 years. But it’s still a welcoming familiar hub for us.

We’ve had many a lost night and morning hours at Deep Blue Bar in our younger years. These days, however, it’s our afternoon pit stop if we’re out shopping in Fethiye.

Cooling shade, decent music – and the peacefulness of Paspatur in the summer afternoons.

It’s a great combination.

In days gone by, if you’d got a bit settled at the bar and then decided it was time to eat, you would have to go off and get yourself a döner kebab or similar before returning to the bar.

Now, all that has changed.

Should you get peckish, you can order yourself a freshly made pizza, fries or a ‘beer plate’ (think fries, onion rings and other crispy beige-but-lovely beer snacks).

These are made on site. And, although we’ve not had one yet, the pizzas are highly praised in online reviews we’ve seen!

If you’re a sports fan, you can have yourself a game of darts. And if you prefer to watch sport rather than play, Deep Blue show the main live sports events on the big screen.

If, like us, you follow a minority sport – or a smaller football team – and your team are playing, ask the guys if they can put the game on for you.

If there’s no big football match on at the same time – or no big crowd in to watch it – they’ll try to help you out.

And if you’re a fan of live music, Deep Blue Bar also have occasional live music and jamming sessions on at nights. Follow their socials so that you don’t miss out when it’s advertised.

Due to your blog - I'm finding it very difficult to cling on to my long held vaguely negative feelings about Fethiye. Keep up the good work.
