Everyone knows that Istanbul is a great city for nightlife. Vibrant and varied, there are many exceptional bars and clubs throughout town, some of which date back 30 years and others that are brand new.
Taksim Square
Istanbul boasts many city centers. One of the most popular and exciting of these is in Taksim Square, located in the European neighborhood of Beyoğlu and famed for its many restaurants, bars, clubs, and shopping meccas. Contemporary and pulsing with life, this is the place where tourist and locals alike flock to let loose, meet old or new friends, and soak in another part of Turkish culture that comes alive after daylight hours.
Spending a Saturday night in Istanbul's Taksim Square can present a dizzying amount of choices.
Walk along İstiklal Caddesi, or Independence Avenue, that ends at the square and you'll find countless possibilities for quenching your Saturday night fever!
Here are just a few of our recommendations for a night on the town:
Galata Tower
Housed in a beautiful landmark from the mid 14th century and erected to defend Constantinople, Galata Tower has a great restaurant, nightclub, and gorgeous deck view of the Old City and beyond. Go towards sunset for a drink to start your night off with style and inspiration.
Mojo Bar
Open since 1997, this bar has a funky live music scene featuring excellent local bands playing both Turkish music and covers. Whether you like rock, funk, blues, or jazz, this is the place to hang.
