Körfez Bar
Bodrum
The 1992 bar street original, vinyl rock from the sixties through the nineties, run by the Subaşıoğlu family
The Barlar Sokağı rock bar that has held the same stage and the same rotating live band line-up since 2006
Kule opened in 2006 inside the old Dr. Alimbey Bedesteni stone shell on Cumhuriyet Caddesi and has stayed the seriously rock end of Bodrum's bar street since. The room is small, the walls are papered with old gig posters, the bar holds Efes and Mey whiskey at honest prices, and the live programme moves through Turkish and foreign rock cover bands seven nights a week through the season. It is the bar that survives the seasonal turnover because the live music actually works, not because the spotlight team out front does.
Live music starts at 23:00; the second band is usually the harder room. Reservations are sensible in August; the bar takes them via WhatsApp on the number above.
