Terrible experience, I fell because the bathroom was wet. Don't go...overpriced beer...also at the toilet they asked for cash even after I slipped terribly.

I went to the club and saw that it's packed on weekends, so it's normal for it to be empty during the week. It's a unique club; nobody bothers anyone inside, everyone is in their own world. You can find all kinds of people there, but it's very nice, the people are good, and there's parking available, so there's no problem. It's 5 minutes from Istiklal Street, and the hotels and everything else are great. I recommend it.
