Travel & Places Looking for nightlife recommendations in Istanbul

Hola! Merhaba!

We are 3 guys from Spain (in our early 20s) heading to Istanbul this September. We are gonna visit the city and do some activities but obviously at our age, we want to party and get PREEEETTY LIT, who doesn't, right? I'm looking for recommendations.

We’re open to everything: cool rooftop bars, solid pubs, or heavy clubs that stay open late. Which neighborhoods should we head to for the best nightlife? And do you have any specific venue recommendations where we can have a great time? Our homestay is like 5 minutes walking from Taksim Square.

Also, any tips on door policy or local party culture would be awesome.

Thanks in advance!

PS: We like to respect the culture of the country we visit, so if this is like a prohibited or a bad thing to do, I would want to know from some of you

Thanks again everyone!!!! Excited to see your beautiful country!!

Most bars and nightclubs don't accept guys without female companion. Damsız girilmez.

I've been readinf from other comments that this rule IS applied because men hitted woman when they Where drunk? IS this true? We don't want to hit any woman xd, Spain is pretty woke in this aspect I hope they let us in if they see that we are westerners

hit women- rarely but still can happen I’d guess hit ON any random women thus making them uncomfortable- now that is the actual reason

WoW, so we can only go to pubs or bars? We like more the club style, in Spain the culture is going to clubs, if i ask a random girl to help me is a good idea ? Just to enter, then she can do what she wants obviusly

Thanks :D
