Karga Bar
Multi-level candlelit bar that shaped Kadıköy's music scene since 1996
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed April 2026
Open since 1996 in a 19th-century wooden mansion on Kadife Sokak, Karga is a multi-level candlelit space hosting DJs, film screenings, and intimate performances. It shaped Kadıköy's alternative music scene and remains its beating heart.
Editor's Tip
Don't come for cocktails, come for the upstairs nooks and the bands. The first floor is for first-timers; the upper levels (especially the rooftop in summer) are where regulars settle. Wednesday-Thursday are the best music nights; the weekend lineup is usually filler. Pay cash; the bill arrives faster.
