Fun little bar/cafe. Kinda confusing to get there. Go up 2 floors after you pass the restaurant. Keep following the pride stairs. The is no “bar” more a cafe set up. The waiters were very nice and attentive. The food was surprising really good . We split the curry chicken and fries and it filled us both up (waiter suggested to share).

Tekyon Club - Gay Bars and Clubs in Istanbul

"Nice venue however the entry fee for all nights (480TLR / apprx $14) is unreasonable and so not called for. Considering other activities with the similar price this could be a fair reason for people not crowding this place up. The management must definitely reconsider."
