This place was fun the first time I visited. My friend and I had a raki table midweek, as we talked…read morebusiness. :) The second time I brought a different friend. The popular Turkish pop songs were easy enough to dance to as my friend serenaded me... but NO BUENO when the barkeep watered down the brew. We ordered beer on tap which really tasted like water. Smoking inside means you'll reek of cigarettes. I seem to recall old-fashioned WCs as well. It's the closest I've gotten to a dive bar.

Certainly not the most classy dance club in Ankara, but you and your friends are likely to have fun…read moreif your not condescending. This venue typically teems with university aged clientele. However people of all ages who want to get their dance and their drink on find their way here -- especially as the night blurs into early morning. Internationals somehow make their way here as well. It's one of the only places that charges cover / entry fee. The average is 10 tl which includes one drink at the bar (a mug of the beer on tap or a shot of liquor). Don't be surprised to find people dancing on tables or banquettes. It's difficult to score a table unless you arrive early (perhaps 10 pm) have friends who've staked out a place, or become friends with people who have secured a table. Bathrooms are fairly gnarly but staff try their best to keep 'em clean. It's usually a sausage party so the ratio of guys to ladies favors the latter :) Finding quality guys is a different story :( beware of douches! The house band that performs live covers of pop music is SURRRPRISINGLY good. That female vocalist can sing, and the saxophonist does a good job. The resident DJ is ok as well.
