Red Lara is the only African nightclub in Istanbul (to my knowledge). It is quite far from the city center though, at least one hour by car, on the European side.
It is quite small and can welcome up to 100 people max. It is located in a residential area, in a basement. Almost all customers, unsurprisingly, are African (mostly from Nigeria).
The music can change but in general you have zouglou, coupé-décalé, zouk, kuduro and Nigerian hip-hop.
