Beyrouth is located in the historic Akaretler Row Houses where Al Jamal used to be.

The owner of Beyrouth, Izzet Çapa, whose name is well known amid Istanbul’s nightlife, also created Al Jamal. Just like Al Jamal, the food is delicious and the show is great.

The menu is quite extensive with hot and cold meze, pide, lahmacun, risottos and pizzas to burgers and salads. You can select from the menu based on your horoscope or try the flavours that could be adapted to the evening, like champagne, vodka and whiskey flavoured ones.

As the day moves into night the venue transforms into the place to see and be seen. People appear as if they just left the ball or a wedding as they try all the items on the cocktail menu one at a time. The music moves from Arabic to Turkish and the signature belly dancer shows of Capa venue begins.

The belly dancer shows, which begin after 23.00, get those who claim not to dance to Turkish pop on their feet to get the unmistakeable Capamarka effect.

Its design that almost looks like a cruise deck on one the most beautiful spots of the Bosphorus. The place which brings the best restaurants of the city together under one roof, with evening bar pleasure and club entertainment.

Reina has become a celebrity hot spot for stars, such as Paris Hilton, Sting, Uma Thurman, Salma Hayek, Paul Allen, Gloria Estefan, Harry Potter, Kevin Costner, Lional Richie, Mike Tyson.

The outdoor complex sits on the edge of the Bosphorus just near the first suspension bridge, housing a handful of chic dining rooms around the periphery of a huge dance floor that buzzes into the small hours underneath a giant open-air chandelier.

Reina Restaurant, with its magnificent Bosphorus view, is continuing to host its guests in this summer with delicious dishes and peerless atmosphere.

Don’t come to Supperclub Istanbul if you’re in search of a traditional restaurant, have lazy taste buds or are scared of new experiences.

However, if you’re looking for an unusual dinner experience in an unexpected place and are not afraid to discover the creative corners of your personality, then knock on supperclub’s door.

There`s only a fixed menu and it`s a secret what will be served; supperclub dinner is a surprice fort he guests. The presentation of the food is a piece of art. Food and drinks are served with style, in a special way, with service and attention. They stimulate all senses. Often we hear our costumers saying; “I have never had this before!” The menu is not presenting one culture, but is international with dishes inspired by different countries.

Art at the Supperclub is something that`s never seen anywhere else before, especially developed for Supperclub, inspired by supperclub. Supperclub serves as an artist-platform, but not just a gallery. Preferably, the artwork that`s shown serves a broader interest in our society, it makes a supperclub statement.

Music at the Supperclub is not a wallpaper, the music accompanies the food, art and the performances and guides the guests though the night. The DJ “feels” the guests and plays with the moods and the feelings, is always surprising. DJ`s don`t dominate (volume), and they respond to the atmosphere and also get inspired by the staff.

Performances at supperclub are never shown anywhere else before. It connects with supperclub; It`s stylish, shocking, seductive and more.. There is a lot of interaction with the guests. They are part of the performance too sometimes, performers make sure that they don`t just lay back and await the performance. “what time starts the show?” is a question that we can`t really answer. The staff and chefs are “performing” too and make it work all together. A performance is not just about getting applause, it`s about giving food for thought. Important: a night is not static. It can be small, sink in, then grab your attention again. Concepts or themes grow during the night, this way our guests “think along with” the performance. Performances show evolution and growth, so people grow with it.

Supperclub is a place where you can enjoy; art, entertainments, food, drinks, dj`s vj`s and much more, while laying on the bed. We are a restaurant that transforms into a club at night. A platform for artists and performers. Our audiance is generally open-minded, cosmopolic, adventurous, international and have interest in culture, architecture, fasion and lifestyle. They like to brake tradition and are always lookign for experience.

Freedom is the keyword at Supperclub. It’s a mix of food, music, performances, art their staff and you. An evening at supperclub Istanbul has been successful when all your five senses have been tickeld.
