1 – Roxy

It’s a popular bar for a long time, playing music for almost everyone:  rock, jazz, blues, Latin, techno, underground. It’s so crowded especially on weekends that you’ll have difficulty in finding a space to dance. Though it’s a fun club, with a crowd of people around their 20s and 25s. The entrance fee is around 20 USD with a free drink, and with two entrance tickets, you can have a bottle of sex on the beach. It’s located on the Sıraselviler Street just before German Hospital, walking distance from Taksim Square.

A popular night club in Istanbul with a crowd of young people who love electronic music. Worldwide known djs and festival groups perform here on special weekend parties. The music varies between techno, house, electro, disco, indie. Recommended for a moving night out.

3 – Otto

A popular bar in Asmalimescid – Beyoğlu with a crowd of young people (age group around 25-30) flowing into the street. Its outside is full of people standing as if they ara at an open-air coctail. It’s like a meeting place for gathering and planning the night with a vodka hazelnut before going to other bars. For the ones that stay, quality electronic music is available inside.               

Adress: Asmalı Mescit Mahallesi Şehbender Sokak No:15 Tünel Beyoğlu

4 – Nupera

Next to the wonderful Pera Palace Hotel, this is a bit costly place full of people with ages between 20 and 30 enjoying house music. The drinks are pricey, but the atmosphere is fun and worth seeing the beautiful girls and boys in Istanbul, if you can walk through the cocky doormen who are more likely to be helpful to the customers with Porsches.
