Nardis Jazz Club

Beyoğlu


Named after a Miles Davis track, this intimate venue near the Galata Tower is run by jazz guitarist Önder Focan and his wife Zuhal. Performers include gifted amateurs, local jazz luminaries and visiting international artists. It's small, so you'll need to arrive early if you want a decent table (no bookings). There's a limited dinner/snack menu.
