Club Details

The venue in Istanbul has been closed down and changed location multiple times, but it is currently open only for women on Saturday nights - NO MEN ALLOWED. Usually gets busy around midnight. Check website for details, because the hours and location have changed frequently in the past! There is a regular cafe bar called 'Diezel' at the entrance floor of the same building if you get lost. Ladies if you are in need of some friends in the lesbian scene of Istanbul, give Bigudi a shot.
