Tek Yön

The yellow brick road leads to this place for both the home-grown crowd and foreigners who’ve done their research about the local gay scene. It’s by far the largest, and often the most lively, gay venue in town, with an open-air back garden where smokers and cruisers take a respite from the crushing crowd inside. On Saturdays, it’s packed to the raft, while low-rent drag shows featuring kitschy costumes take up the customer slack midweek and on Sundays.
