If your understanding of nightlife consists of bars and nightclubs, we can recommend Beşiktaş, Kadıköy and Taksim venues for you first. The popular places in recent years have been gathered especially in Kadıköy. For this reason, let's start with Kadıköy entertainment centers. DOROCK XL is one of the preferred venues because it has the largest indoor live concert area. It has a place to sit, eat, drink and chat, as well as the opportunity to listen to concerts every night. One of the most beautiful places where you can find plenty of recently famous "craft" beers and drink to your heart's content is "Bear". This place is located between Kadıköy and Moda. If you like things with '90s concepts, "Eskici" is a very popular place where you will love their music. These places, which are always full, invite you to have fun all night long. Apart from these, we can list many places such as Karga, Zeplin, Arkaoda, Komodo and Monks, which make Kadıköy as Kadıköy.
