Nardis Jazz Club

The experience

A roughly 120-seat jazz club opened in 2002 on a side street just below the Galata Tower in Beyoğlu, run by musicians Zuhal and Önder Focan. It programs local jazz players most nights alongside touring international acts, with sets starting around 9:30pm. It is widely regarded as Istanbul's leading dedicated jazz room.

The city's most respected jazz room, small enough that you sit almost on top of the band.
