# Vahada

> Vahada (getvahada.com) is a free, mobile-first web app that shows what drinks actually cost in bars, pubs, meyhanes and cafes across Turkey — draft and bottled beer, wine by the glass and cocktails — plus the happy hours that are running right now. Prices are shown per venue on a live map, and most of them are re-read from the venues' own QR menus every day.

## Pages

- [Bira Endeksi](https://getvahada.com/endeks): Turkey's drink price index. Monthly median menu price of a 50cl draft beer by city and district, with venue counts, the full method, and frozen monthly editions at /endeks/YYYY-MM that never change after publication.
- [Cheapest beer in Turkey](https://getvahada.com/ucuz-bira): national ranking of the cheapest 50cl draft beer, by city and by venue.
- [Areas](https://getvahada.com/bolge): every district we cover, each with ranked lists — cheapest beer, cheapest venue overall, live happy hours, cheapest cocktail, cheapest wine.
- [Venues](https://getvahada.com/mekan): every venue with published prices, grouped by city. Each venue page lists its drink prices, its happy hours with their real hours, and its opening hours.
- [Venue badge](https://getvahada.com/rozet): the embeddable badge a venue can put on its own site showing its current prices.
- [Happy hour](https://getvahada.com/happy-hour): what a Turkish happy hour usually looks like (typical hours and discount, computed from our own deals), plus city pages such as /sehir/istanbul/happy-hour.
- [Cities](https://getvahada.com/sehir/istanbul): one page per covered city (/sehir/istanbul, /sehir/ankara, /sehir/eskisehir, /sehir/bursa) with district rankings.
- [Bar prices in Turkey](https://getvahada.com/bar-fiyatlari): national, city and district medians for beer, wine and cocktails, by brand.
- [Student-friendly bars](https://getvahada.com/ogrenci-dostu-mekanlar): venues ranked by price across the country.
- [Beer prices in Turkey (English)](https://getvahada.com/en/beer-prices-turkey), [Istanbul bar prices (English)](https://getvahada.com/en/istanbul-bar-prices), [Bierpreise Türkei (Deutsch)](https://getvahada.com/de/bierpreise-tuerkei), [Цены на пиво в Турции (Русский)](https://getvahada.com/ru/tseny-na-pivo-v-turtsii).
- [Map and app](https://getvahada.com/): the live map — prices on pins, filters for drink type and happy hours, and best-value highlighting near the reader. Each venue screen also shows the venue's full digital menu ("Menü" tab) when we read one.
- [MCP server](https://getvahada.com/mcp): a Model Context Protocol endpoint (registry name com.getvahada/vahada) so AI assistants can query current prices, happy hours and rankings directly instead of scraping pages.

## What Vahada Does

- Publishes current drink prices per venue: 50cl and 33cl draft and bottled beer, wine by the glass, cocktails.
- Shows happy hours with their real days and hours, so "live now" means live now in Istanbul time.
- Ranks venues and districts by price, and marks the best value near the reader.
- Publishes the Bira Endeksi: a monthly, methodologically documented price index with medians, sample sizes and a stated method version.
- Lets venue owners claim their venue and manage prices and deals for free; lets contributors correct a price they see in person.

## Where the Prices Come From (and how fresh they are)

- Most priced venues are linked to their own QR menu, and a daily job re-reads those menus. That is the main reason a price here is current rather than a snapshot.
- Some prices are entered by hand by the Vahada team, venue owners or contributors; hand-entered prices are not refreshed automatically and age from the day they were typed.
- Happy hours come from two places: people (the team, owners, contributors) and, since October 2026, the venue's own menu when it prints the happy hour with its price, days and clock hours. A menu happy hour is switched off automatically when the menu stops showing it. A happy hour is shown as live only while the venue is open.
- Menus that are visibly out of date at the source are excluded rather than shown.
- A happy-hour price never appears as a venue's standing price, and never sets a ranking on a public page.

## Coverage

- Turkey-wide, with the deepest coverage in Istanbul (Beyoğlu, Kadıköy, Beşiktaş, Şişli), then Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Antalya, Çanakkale, Eskişehir, Muğla and the Aegean coast.
- About 1,450 live venues on the map and about 600 with published prices (October 2026); both numbers grow weekly. Around 380 venues are linked to a menu that is re-read automatically.
