Guide: Rooftops, Jazz, and Late Crossings

This nightlife guide separates Istanbul by use case rather than by one late-night strip: Mikla for a controlled rooftop drink, Alexandra for Bosphorus-side cocktails, Nardis for serious live jazz, Arkaoda for Kadikoy’s indie scene, and 360 Istanbul for a bigger, visitor-friendly rooftop night.
