Istanbul bar, restaurant & club guide

Sitting on both sides of the Bosphorus, with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia, Istanbul is the meeting point of cultures, and this city is equally as diverse and fascinating in its entertainment. Most places are located on the European side, especially in the Beyoglu, Taksim, Tunel and Sultanahmet areas to name a few. Restaurants for all price ranges can be found everywhere and there are many with outstanding views of the Bosphorus. Some bars, clubs and restaurants include shows like belly dancing, to add a little local flavour.Istanbul will captivate you by day, and won’t disappoint by night. Enjoy a strong coffee at a sidewalk café or smoke a water pipe, sample savoury dishes at a meyhane restaurant, sip a cocktail as you gaze over the city, dance the night away at one of the many clubs: the city abounds in Turkish delights!
