Still one of the most happening places in town, able to retain a few bears even as its new sound system, video screen and club tunes have begun packing in the clubbers, middle classes and foreigners. For a Turkish night on the tiles in an unthreatening environment, this is your best bet.
Area Istanbul
Telephone 0535 233 0654 mobile

Quite crowded but they will charge tourists 50 turkish lira for a bottle bier!
Defintely not worth it !
Go unless you want to be ripped off.....
If you like it or not, this is the best place Istanbul can offer to gay travelers. I was in Nov, 2010. Entrance is free which is a big plus and respect to this place. It is always crowded even on week days. All types of boys and men. I like the bartender named Burak. He was very friendly and cheerful. And he makes very good drinks. Next time go straight to him for drinks. Other bartenders need take classes of hospitality and customer service. At least they have to learn how to smile to customers time to time, especially to those who tips generously. Music selection could've been better. Turkish music is OK for me and cannot judge it, but playlist of Euro and American music should be a bit updated and better mixed. Recommend to anyone and will visit place again soon.
How false this last guy. FYI, they have moved in the last couple years. Everything is new. Turkish expensive? lol, go back to UK dearie, and start spending 8 pounds a drink,.
Ive been drugged by bartenders xtc, in IST at smaller, more local known clubs, and there are many far more dangerous places to go,./you are safe here, and the bartenders are friendly. There are truly [sahra] other clubs in IST that scared the socks off of me at times. Ive spent months at a time this city,, this is the best club to go to, hands down,the only real disapointment, is the weekends are so crowded you can not move around. So much for fire marshals. They sure do need more room.
PS> Turkish Pop is great and very interesting, I suppose you would rather hear Madonna? Phfft.
Ugly club, cheap seats and tables, expensive drinks, ripoffs for toilet use and wardrobe. Sound system terrible, music turkish pop.
