One of the best, oldest, most popular, and most known Turkish belly dancing & folk dances show in…read moreIstanbul, Kervansaray is located near Hilton hotel near Taksim square. They organize this show every night starting around 20:45, even though there are earlier starts for special requests. You can dine during the show or just have drinks, there are various packages. It's a tourist place of course, mostly tour groups and foreigners go there because usually Turks don't watch these kinds of shows unless there is a special occasion. In any case, their belly dancers are beautiful :) and very skilled.. Folk dances from various regions of Turkey are also awesome. Do not raise your expectations for the meal but the show is very good. I can recommend this for any foreign visitor coming to Istanbul, for a fun night.

Dance to Drink vs Drink to Dance This place has many…read moredifferent types of customers because the music is good, drinks are cheap/reasonable and location is just in the middle of Istiklal St. and just near by Nevizade. I go there anytime I want to dance and drink or drink and dance :) Let's say both at the same time. The only think I did not give 5 starts cuz its too crowded sometimes and I prefer them to stop after some point. Anyway its been my favorite since I have known and hope it will stay like this.

It's a good place to dance. I have been to this place twice, and I liked it both times. I was on…read morethe last floor each time each time I went there. They played upbeat music, so I could go and dance with my friends. If you come there too early and see tables in the middle and nobody dancing - don't worry. At some point of time, the staff puts away the tables and people start to dance. The location is good - right in middle of Istiklal street. The entrance is free, and the prices are affordable. Plus, I felt pretty save there.

Chilled out vibe with a relaxed decor, lots of couches and pillows, greenery and wood tones. Slow house music sets the tone for relaxing and sipping drinks. Speaking of, the craft cocktails are on point. Come at sunset for spectacular views of the golden horn basked in the fading light of the day, get reservations if you want a couch. Highly recommend this place.

Not exactly the best club I've been to, but if you like listening to Afro beat and don't mind the…read morefact most of the patrons just pose instead of dance, then this place is for you. The party didn't start until 2am. I say only 15 people were here when we walked in. About 1/2 to 1 hour later, this place was packed - maybe 70-80 people. Most patrons here just grab a bottle or some beers and sit off to the side or at one of the tables. You can tell they know the music, but nobody really is willing to get down. I also wish they served raki here. A couple of people in my group had just arrived, and I wanted to christen them with the Turkish drink.They only offered vodka or tequila. Luckily, the beer was reasonably priced. Eres and Bomonti big cans for 12 TL.
