About this place Bigudi Club

Bigudi opened in 2006 as Turkey's first lesbian club and still describes itself as a safe space for queer women, with gay men and friends also on the floor. It is a dance club on an upper floor in the Şehit Muhtar streets between Taksim Square and İstiklal, playing Turkish and international pop. It opens late, mainly Friday and Saturday from about 23:00, and Google shows some midweek nights too. Sources disagree on whether the entrance is on Bekar Sokak or Mis Sokak, so check @bigudiclub on Instagram for the current door. Police raided several gay venues around Taksim and Şişli on 12–13 September 2026, so check the venue's latest posts on the day, carry ID and take no photos inside.

🚩Lesbian Trap This place looks inclusive but it’s only performative. It’s like a safe heaven gay club with good prices. Good for gay men and ONLY FOR GAY MEN! Do not expect sapphic entertainment beyond bait. 👎🏽

Despite being supposedly a queer club, I experienced transphobia inside, and the staff completely ignored it. If you're transphobic, you shouldn't call yourselves a queer place. I've also heard of other transphobic incidents happening there. I absolutely do not recommend it.

It's a lovely atmosphere, but the music is extremely loud; I couldn't hear anyone else talking.

I read the comments, which are impossible to please everyone. They're from unnecessary, empty-headed people or those who came here drunk. But the service, quality, and price here are very good. You have to appreciate it. Unfortunately, our people don't know what value is or respect it. I liked it very much.
