Where can I find the best nightlife in Istanbul?
Istanbul offers several distinct areas for evening entertainment, suiting different preferences.

Beyoğlu is widely considered the centre of Istanbul's nightlife. İstiklal Avenue, a long pedestrian street, is lined with bars, pubs, and clubs, with many smaller streets branching off it also hosting numerous establishments. You'll find everything from traditional meyhanes (taverns serving meze and raki) to modern cocktail bars and dance clubs here. The area around Nevizade Street, just off İstiklal, is particularly known for its bustling meyhanes and live music venues.

Karaköy has transformed into a popular spot for evening gatherings. Located along the Bosphorus, it features many cafes and restaurants that convert into bars in the evening. There's a good selection of places offering craft cocktails and more relaxed settings, often with views of the historic peninsula. It's generally more sophisticated than Beyoğlu's main thoroughfare.

Kadıköy, on the Asian side of Istanbul, offers a lively alternative. Its main street, Bağdat Avenue, has a number of bars and clubs, but the real concentration of nightlife is around the "Barlar Sokağı" (Bars Street) area. Here, you'll find a younger crowd enjoying pubs, live music venues, and cafes with outdoor seating. It's known for its more laid-back and local atmosphere compared to the European side.

Beşiktaş, particularly around the Çarşı (market) area, has a number of popular pubs and bars. It's a lively student district, so you'll find many affordable and casual places to have a drink.
