Where can a single guy party in Istanbul?

Question

Hi, I frequently travel to Istanbul on business. However my clients are older and don't frequent the bars/clubs etc. I have tried walking in to some of the clubs in Istikal st however they bounce me at the door for being a single guy.
Any suggestions where I could go have a good few drinks at a decent club with decent people?

Answer 1

Here are couple of decent clubs;
Reina (Ortakoy)
Crystal (Ortakoy)
Blackk (Ortakoy)
Anjelique (again Ortakoy)
Buz Cadde (Goztepe)
There are some nice clubs in Beyoglu like Mojo but the area itself is very cosmopolite so trouble is always around. That's why I recommend you to try one of those. Those clubs in Ortakoy only accept decent people in and of course you should be prepared to receive a decent bill at the end :))) Good luck.

Answer 2

Well, you can find many places in Istanbul depending on your choice.

Try Leman cafe in Beyoglu (Imam Adnan Sok)
or.. go to ASLI HAN PASAJI, go downstairs find the cute guy Erkan at the store number 12 (ka-fa 100 dvd club is the store's name.)

ASK Erkan in which club he is being the DJ that night. He'll give you good advice at that too.

Answer 3

Sorry but Leman Cafe is not a good choice for a foreign person at all cos its very Turkish, try Ortakoy as Pinar suggested and also you will not have any problems in any Rock bars or clubs..


Hope that helps to know..
