I love live music and was not expecting Jazz in Turkey. They were such a good band! We did not eat anything, just showed up for the last 30 minutes of the show.

I had the best time of my life, I’ve never been to a jazz bar before and I highly recommend this place. The music is absolutely phenomenal, the atmosphere is incredible, and the whole experience was unforgettable. A perfect spot to relax, enjoy great live music, and have an amazing night. Definitely worth visiting.

Nice little jazz club in the middle of tourist central. I like the general vibe. I came to check out a pianist, but he didn't show, so I bought a ticket (600tyl) to experience the place. The musicians were of various skill levels and I loved the amateur lady singer. As the evening progressed, I felt as though I was at someone else's family reunion. People were friendly to their friends, but when I talked to them, they were a bit cold and even laughing some at me (it seemed) after I said I knew a song w no accompaniment. I have sung all over the world, so no biggie - hahaha. Since ai love live music, I didn't care much. One of the pianists was TOTALLY worth the entry price for sure! Not sure if I will return, but from a classical musician's point of view, this is an OK place to hang and listen - just don't expect anyone to be friendly to you. MUSIC +. STAFF +\-. VIBE + (if you don't try to mingle.) If you want live music in Taksim area, this is an OK option. #travellikeandy
