CLUB KA

Club KA is listed as a queer nightclub on 1471 Sokak in Alsancak, İzmir's most liberal district, with drag shows and a soundtrack of Turkish pop and dance music. It has had other names over the years, and it has very few online reviews, so treat the details as unconfirmed and check its Instagram for current nights before you go. Turkey has banned Pride marches since 2015, and police pressure on LGBTQ+ events has risen. Venues like this open on Friday and Saturday after midnight, mostly for a local crowd. Keep a low profile on the street and use a taxi home.
