This has to be one of the most fun clubs I have ever visited. As a tourist I felt welcome, they had awesome GoGo boys and some colourful drag/dance routines - the music was great. Cover is 20 Lira (10Euro) but you get a drink with that. The servers wear red fedoras and bring drinks to you on the dance floor. Turks party late and this place fills up around 2am and goes hard until 5am. A really fun place.
Great Bar/Night Club. On Friday and Saturdays gay life often starts here before heating up elsewhere. From 11pm to about 1:30am it is packed with a good looking mix of guys and expats. At about 1am-1:30am it starts thinning out as Turks like to party late and the crowd either moves to "Love" or "Tek Yon".
Tek Yon's location can be hard to find. From Istikal, go down a street called Balo & on turn left on the last street B4 Balo end and walk 25m to Ekrem Tur where Tek Yon is located. Great club... busy Tues/Wed, dead Thu & PACKED Friday & Sat. - good techno beats, no cover and a very wide range of guys (not a bear club)
