Antalya’s nightlife is quite the spectacle, from mega discos filled to the brim and vibrating with loud music to the more low-key pubs and bars. Check out some of the best places to party until the sun comes up in the Turkish summer town.
Çello Cafe Bar
Bar, Turkish, $$$
A great place to mingle with the locals, this small bar is probably one of the most laid-back bars in Antalya. In the summer, the tables outside are always full as people enjoy their drinks and converse for hours right on the street. Don’t be surprised to come across live music and people getting up to dance marking another memorable Antalya night.
If dancing for hours at a mega club is not really your thing, then head to Tudors Pub, a low-key bar inspired by classic English pubs. Located in Antalya’s Muratpaşa neighborhood, the bar is also a favorite among locals because of the live local acts that take the stage every night.
One of the more hipster-style bars in town, Up Shot Bar is where all the cool kids in Antalya hang out to drink and dance to their favorite local DJs. Located in Kaleiçi, Antalya’s old town, Up Shot may be a bit of an aberrant neighbor, but its tattooed patrons and DJs have definitely livened up the entire neighborhood.
Part of Kadir’s Tree Houses, a very cool community of tree house rooms preferred by young globetrotters and backpackers from all over the world, Hangar is the super laid-back bar where the party is on every night. Located in the more remote Olympos, Hangar’s natural wood foundation is very different from the city feel of Antalya.
Definitely one of Antalya’s most well known mega clubs, Aura’s huge space is all about big light shows, professional dancers, and very loud music from some of the best local DJs. Make sure you don’t lose your friends while you become a bit overwhelmed in this renowned spectacle of Antalya nightlife.
Also located in the Muratpaşa neighborhood, Jolly Joker is a chain of concert venues that can be found in almost every major Turkish city. If you’re interested in seeing talented Turkish music groups, then this is the place to go. However, make sure to reserve your spot in advance because the place can fill up fast, especially if it’s a very well known act.
Located in the Kemer neighborhood of Antalya, Club Inferno (as they name might suggest) is one of Antalya’s most popular clubs where the parties are always big and rowdy. Some of the best local DJs play here while the professional dancers make sure that everyone is having a good time.
