About this place Stay Club Istanbul

Stay Club is a two-floor gay bar and club on Sıraselviler Caddesi in Cihangir, a short walk down from Taksim Square. Its Google listing calls it the only bear club in Istanbul, and it ran weekend nights plus a twice-yearly Middle Eastern Bear Week party series. Since September 2026 Google has listed it as temporarily closed, after police raided several gay venues around Taksim. We could not confirm when, or whether, it will reopen. Check @stayclubistanbul on Instagram before going. Open Fridays and Saturdays; home of Istanbul Bear Week.

The music in the venue is terrible; they always play foreign music aimed at foreigners. Even that music is awful. Apart from that, the place is spacious and large, but it's not fun, and the music is really, really bad.
