"An ancient but truly fascinating structure, to some it may seem uncool but it has an ancient charm all its own. There is a small dry sauna and several shower areas, the central one is very beautiful. The owner and staff are very courteous and friendly. Unfortunately, the clientele is almost entirely over 60 and oversized and makes the experience a bit unpleasant. If you choose the right times and days you can see some tourists under 40. It is worth a visit at least for the structure"

Stay Club is located on a by-street along the Istiklal Avenue, near Taksim Square. Please make sure to go to the right place because other clubs in the same building can be really expensive. After entering the building, climb to the upper floor by stairs and then take the elevator to the 2nd floor, where the name of the venue is written next to the elevator button. The club owners reported it as a mainly-bear club in a message sent to Istanbulgay Com in September 2021: "Stay Club recently opened its doors in Istanbul as the only bear gay bar in Istanbul. Club is open every night and visited by not only bear gays, but also by locals and foreigners."

"Great dancers, very attentive waiters, terrible DJ. DJ is stuck in the 2000s and somehow manages to kill 2000s RnB. If we were going to listen to electronic music, we would go to Klein next door. It's a shame for the potential of our beautiful dancers. This queer scene definitely needs a more up-to-date DJ. What is Saturday night pavilion music?"
