We went to this bar during our short stay in Istanbul and were not disappointed. It's an intimate venue, with welcoming staff and customers. It's semi open-top so you can feel the night air and take a look down at the street below.

They play classic pop tunes like Gaga, Shakira, and Charli, as well as Turkish pop songs.

Such a comfortable space for members of the LGBTQ+ community to have a drink, a dance, and a fun night out in the city.

It's worth bearing in mind there is an entrance fee (about £7 and worth it in our opinion), and it's best to bring cash as they charge extra for card payments.

The attention of the employees and the owner of the place was amazing. The prices are much more affordable than other places and it is a place where you will not be judged and accepts you as you are. 10/10 place for me.
Thank you also for creating such a beautiful place.

The staff is so nice and the manager is such caring person. Went many times and met so many new people . It feels like a family and I loved it . The only problem is the space is not that big ( so if you wanna go there go early ) and it would be good if they move to a new broader space in the long run .❤️❤️❤️
