Entry Tips
»
If you're keen to visit a Bosphorus club, you should consider booking to have dinner in its res-
taurant - otherwise you could be looking for a lucky break or a tip of at least 100 to get past the
door staff.
»
Long queues are ubiquitous at the popular Beyoğlu clubs after midnight on Fridays and
Saturdays; some savvy clubbers arrive earlier to bypass these.
Dress Codes
When İstanbullus go out clubbing they dress to kill. If you don't do the same, you'll be unlikely to
get past the door staff at the Bosphorus clubs or into the rooftop bar/clubs in Beyoğlu. Fortunately,
what you're wearing won't affect entry at the live-music venues,
meyhanes
or grungier clubs.
