Tekyön Club — Restaurant in Beyoğlu

Strongly advise tourists to avoid TEK-YÖN in Istanbul DANGEROUS..

LIKE THIS TO HELP IT GET MORE VIEWS so no one could end in likewise situations with this faul club.

I want to warn other tourists about a deeply unpleasant and frightening experience at the nightclub TEK-YÖN in Istanbul.

On December 31, 2024, they demanded an unreasonably high entrance fee BY THE OWNER HIMSELF. When I POLITLY refused to pay that amount, I was physically attacked by the club’s OWNER WITHOUT EVEN ME SAYING A WORD ”just help my hands upp and yelled ”let me be to the OWNER, including the security guards and even the owner himself. They resorted to violence without any provocation.

What made the situation worse was that the police WERE THERE AND SAW the incident but refused to assist, completely ignoring what had happened. Later, I tried to file a police report at several police stations and with the tourist police, but I was denied every time.

This is not just a safety concern for tourists but also highlights a complete lack of justice and support for visitors. I have traveled extensively, but I have never felt as vulnerable and unsafe as I did here.

I strongly advise other tourists to stay away from TEK-YÖN or any other venues where similar risks might exist. Istanbul is a wonderful city, but this experience completely ruined my trip and left me feeling helpless and unsafe.

Avoid this club at all costs if you value your safety and dignity as a tourist. DONT VISIT AT ALL COST ESPECIALLY...

I’m not going to lie I was a little hesitant and nervous about going here specially after reading some of the reviews. Being an Afro Latino men and my friend a tall black man from the US, brown skinned, that don’t speak Turkish, and knowing we would be the only ones that looks like us it’s a little intimidating. But honestly we didn’t feel no type of way. I actually had a great time, there was one or 2 people that looked like us but regardless I didn’t get no bad treatment by the bouncers or bartender they were actually real nice to me and my friend at least. I’m from the US/NY but live in ATL so we paying some crazy prices for clubs admission that don’t come with no drink, so technically your admission is a drink which I don’t thinks it’s bad at all. Admission is twice what they charge and don’t come with a drink in the US. Drinks were reasonable in prices from my point of view, once again my opinion is subjective. Knowing our prices in the US doesn’t make me feel any type of way if they similar, it’s still comes out cheaper. I’m glad I didn’t listen to the reviews and took the time to experience it for my self. I would definitely go back. The go go dancers are definitely sexy, I’m not crazy about house music but I actually didn’t mind, I travel a lot so I know I’m not going to find no hip hop club so I’m culturally diverse and open to new experiences. Also I went on a Saturday night, and it wasn’t no specially event or holiday the the place...

I recently visited Club Teykön and, unfortunately, I left feeling very disappointed. As a gay club, I expected an atmosphere of inclusivity and acceptance. However, I was surprised to be told that my outfit was “too feminine” and that I could be mistaken for a trans person? Excuse me?

As an international non-binary model from Germany, I find it disturbing to be discriminated against and gendered in such a way, especially given that I was simply expressing my personal style. It was particularly ironic to hear this from someone in ripped jeans and a hoodie while I was wearing an Armani Couture skirt, with very demure style.

This experience reflects a troubling lack of education, ignorance, and tolerance that is unfortunately prevalent. I love Turkey and its people, but it’s concerning how such attitudes can affect the perception of the country as a welcoming place.

I understand that few trans individuals are perhaps interacting inappropriately with the guests, however you can’t put everyone in the same basket and to tell me if we let you in we have to let everybody in🙈. Gay Men are welcome, normal women also ok… and this is 2024???

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of their appearance or identity. It is essential for venues like Teykön to foster an environment where all guests feel welcome and appreciated. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration...
