Visitors often praise the venue for its fantastic music and friendly staff, with some calling it the best club in Istanbul for its atmosphere and handsome employees. However, common complaints include very high entrance fees and drink prices, overcrowding that makes it difficult to move or dance, and rude doormen who sometimes discriminate against patrons.

About this place Love Dance Point

Love Dance Point, or Love DP, is a gay dance club on Cumhuriyet Caddesi in Harbiye, Şişli. It calls itself the legendary club of Şişli, and its website promises DJs, go-go dancers and drag shows at weekends, with room for about 450 people. Gay travel guides have listed it as Istanbul's main gay dance club for years. It opens Friday and Saturday from about 23:00 to 05:00 and nothing much happens before midnight. Reviewers in 2025–26 were turned away for shorts or sandals, and one reported a 1,600 TL bill for two drinks on a card machine registered to another company. Check prices and the terminal name. 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.

Istanbul's classiest nightclub. Safe and clean. The only downside is the excessive cigarette smoke. If a more sensible solution could be found for that, it would be even better. I say this as a non-smoker. Those who want to smoke can do so outside.
