Kastel
Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 10 upcoming events
A two-stage performance venue in Beyoglu, on Kamer Hatun Street. Its most distinctive feature is architecture that preserves the texture of a historic building; it has two areas, Main Stage and Terrace. The program leans toward techno and electronic music, but operates multi-purpose: concerts, DJ nights and themed programs all find a place on the same calendar. In summer the terrace turns into an open-air night spot — moving from the intensity of the indoor hall to a space overlooking the city is Kastel's distinctive touch. Within the Istiklal line, walking distance from Taksim and Sishane metro exits. Nights fill up late; door control is strict.
Klein Phönix
Istanbul · 8 upcoming events
Klein's large indoor stage in Maslak. A venue that has long been active on Istanbul's techno and electronic music scene; Phönix is the brand's largest-capacity hall. The program runs on international DJ line-ups — nights built around a single long set flow starting late and running until morning. Sound and lighting are set up for the dancefloor; seating is secondary. Maslak is a business district far from the city center's club lines. This both eases noise-restriction issues and lets the venue genuinely run late. Plan your night's return in advance; public transport thins out at these hours.
Frankhan Selectist
Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 12 upcoming events
A two-stage live performance venue in Karakoy, on Kemankes Street. Founded by Selectist, Frankhan can run two separate areas — Main Room and Sound Room — on the same night. This dual structure diversifies the program: a concert can run on one side while a DJ set plays on the other. With capacity for around a thousand people, it's one of Karakoy's largest indoor stages. Karakoy has been one of the liveliest districts of recent years — walking distance to the pier, Galata and Tophane. Easy access by ferry and tram, with an easier night return than other club districts.
Pera 77
Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 8 upcoming events
Pera 77 is a jazz-and-dining venue on the lobby floor of The Marmara Pera hotel in Beyoğlu, a few minutes' walk from Istiklal Avenue. Local and international musicians play live here, mostly Wednesday to Saturday evenings. The kitchen leans towards new Anatolian cooking, and the lounge bar serves cocktails and martinis. Booking ahead is wise on busy nights. Note that Mikla, the hotel's rooftop restaurant, is a separate venue.
Milena Pub & Bistro
Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 1 upcoming events
Milena Pub & Bistro sits on Sadri Alışık Street, just off İstiklal Avenue, and combines food and drink with small-scale stage events in a warm, intimate setting. Its programme stands out for stand-up shows, themed quiz nights, open mic events and match broadcasts.
360Istanbul
Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 2 upcoming events
A rooftop restaurant-bar with city views on Istiklal; evening DJ and party events.
Hayal Kahvesi Kocaeli
Izmit · 4 upcoming events
The Kocaeli branch of the Hayal Kahvesi chain; located in Basiskele, inside the Symbol Yasam Merkezi on the D-100 highway. Hayal Kahvesi is one of the first chains that comes to mind when Turkey's live music venues are mentioned — its program is mostly made up of Turkish rock and pop bands, running late on weekends. A table-and-stage-close layout; a format where you can sit while listening to the concert, running alongside food-and-drink service. Few venues in Kocaeli run a regular program at this scale; a significant part of the city's concert calendar runs through here. Being on the D-100, access by private car is easy, with parking available. We recommend calling ahead for a table on concert days.
Asa Khai Jazz Club
Beyoğlu, Istanbul · 8 upcoming events
Asa Khai Jazz Club is a jazz club on the ground floor of the Khai Hotel on Bankalar Avenue in Karaköy. Live jazz is paired with cocktails and small plates, with concerts a few nights a week, usually starting around 8:30 PM. The dress code is smart casual. The schedule can change by season, so it's worth booking and checking the current calendar before you go.
Volkswagen Arena
Sarıyer, Istanbul · 3 upcoming events
