our favorite roof-top apritifs after long days of walking were at the Blue House: http://www.bluehouse.com.tr/
Not only do they make a stiff gin and tonic, but you're considerably higher up than even the impossibly posh Four Seasons next door. I don't know what the hotel itself is like, but you might want to have a look. Plus there is something a little decadent about sipping cocktails with an unobstructed view of the Blue Mosque.
Have fun!

I'm late to this thread but we *loved* www.5oda.com -- fantastic food and space, 110% welcoming hosts, handy to Istaklal and the ferries. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
