Stay Club, which opened in 2020, relocated in April 2024 to a new address just a 3-4 minute walk from Taksim Square. It is located on the lower floor of the well-known Riddim Club. Although it was initially intended to attract the bear community, it has been welcoming all types of gay men since it moved to this new location.

"The best gay club in Istanbul. If Google had 6*, this club would deserve it. The clientele is mixed. There weren't any "very young" adults (18-26), however, there were some young adults (27-35). The majority were middle-aged men (36-53) with very few "daddies" (54+). The owner Musa takes special care of his clients and the DJ Emir plays excellent dance music. The price is fair (700 TL (apprx $15) including 1 drink, plus 100 TL for coat check). There's also a smoking area at the back of the club. I highly recommend it."  (Google / Jan 2026)

"Prices go up depending on how much you've had to drink. First, entrance is 600 lira (ok), for that money you get a drink, then suddenly rum and cola is 650 lira. Why??"
(Google / May 2025)

Editor's note: We do not appreciate high prices at gay bars and clubs but estimated prices are well explained on our main page. You will see that export drinks (whiskey, rum, cocktails etc) are always more expensive than local drinks (beer, raki, local vodka etc)

"Ok this is an amazing disco / house party. The doors open at 11 pm by 12:30 it was packed. The DJ's did an amazing job with Turkish and Arabic and USA beats .... the crowd danced all night ! The mix was perfect to muscle guys with beats and Dads and just all around good time. So cheap to get in a the drinks were cheap. The GoGo dancers amazing and just a lot of friendly no attitude party

Visited here on a Friday night. The crowd was more on 35+ years old. Mostly heavier men. No problem there, just the demographics I observed. Me and my partner paid about 1200 lira (17 $ pp) for 2 people to enter, then we had to do coat check for 100 lira. Music was mostly Turkish/Middle Eastern dance music. I liked that. The DJ seemed like he was actually mixing the music rather than just playing a song. High ceilings so the dance floor seemed very spacious. Not a huge crowd, but not dead either."

"Last year I left a very positive review for the Stay club. Unfortunately this year I have a completely different opinion. The new Stay has terrible music while last year there was nice Turkish music. Like others, the entrance and drink prices are catastrophic. We went to New Year's Eve and the entrance was over 35 euros. The price of a beer is 15 euros. For that money if you want to use it in Istanbul, go to the hammams, you will get a massage and a good time. The new Stay is doomed because tonight I saw that people were not drinking or having fun. I was always against the Tekyon club but now I think it is better." (Google / December 2024)


Editor's note:  The entrance fees on New Year's Eve are always much higher, roughly twice of a regular Saturday night’s entrance fee in all gay clubs in Istanbul.
