Best Istanbul Clubs with RnB and Hip-Hop

There are not so many nightclubs fully dedicated to R&B and hip-hop music in Istanbul. As of today,  to listen to these music genres you will have to go to generalist clubs with special nights or events featuring RnB DJs and singers. Among them, the most famous ones are the following (starting from my favourite):

Riddim Club

This club could also be considered a cheap Erasmus/backpacker venue. It is not stylish but at least drinks are affordable. It gets started around 1am until 5am. Even weekdays during high season can be crowded.

They used to play only R&B but they now also have latin and club nights. I recommend you to check on their Facebook page for events before going there.

Chanta Club

This is a Turkish nightclub with sometimes local hip hop and R&B singers/DJs. This means they won't necessarily play American-style music. It is a friendly place to visit and a fun experience. Sexy dancers and live singers.
