Stay Club, which especially welcomes the bear community, opened in 2020, relocated to a new address in April 2024, around 3-4 minutes walking distance from Taksim Square. It is at the lower floor of the well-known Riddim Club. The club owners reported it as a bear club in a message sent to Pride Guides in September 2021: "Stay Club recently opened its doors in Istanbul as the only bear gay bar in Istanbul. Club is visited by not only bear gays, but also by locals and foreigners."

Михаил "Prices go up depending on how much you've had to drink. First, entrance is 600 lira (ok), for that money you get a drink, then suddenly rum and cola is 650 lira. Why??" (Google / May 2025)

Boston Irish2009 "Ok this is an amazing disco / house party. The doors open at 11 pm by 12:30 it was packed. The DJ's did an amazing job with Turkish and Arabic and USA beats .... the crowd danced all night ! The mix was perfect to muscle guys with beats and Dads and just all around good time. So cheap to get in a the drinks were cheap. The GoGo dancers amazing and just a lot of friendly no attitude party  (Google / April 2025)

Phillip Hua Visited here on a Friday night. The crowd was more on 35+ years old. Mostly heavier men. No problem there, just the demographics I observed. Me and my partner paid about 1200 lira (17 $ pp) for 2 people to enter, then we had to do coat check for 100 lira. Music was mostly Turkish/Middle Eastern dance music. I liked that. The DJ seemed like he was actually mixing the music rather than just playing a song. High ceilings so the dance floor seemed very spacious. Not a huge crowd, but not dead either."

miro kuskun "Last year I left a very positive review for the Stay club. Unfortunately this year I have a completely different opinion. The new Stay has terrible music while last year there was nice Turkish music. Like others, the entrance and drink prices are catastrophic. We went to New Year's Eve and the entrance was over 35 euros. The price of a beer is 15 euros. For that money if you want to use it in Istanbul, go to the hammams, you will get a massage and a good time. The new Stay is doomed because tonight I saw that people were not drinking or having fun. I was always against the Tekyon club but now I think it is better." (Google / December 2024)
