Bayazhan runs live fasıl music in its caravanserai meyhane in Gaziantep most nights, which is the closest the old city gets to a proper night out.
TipBook the meyhane floor rather than the family section if you want the music and the drinks list.
Gece Gündüz Bistro programmes fasıl bands, DJ percussion and oriental shows seven nights a week in Bey Mahallesi, the busiest late room in Gaziantep.
TipThe VIP room runs Wednesday, Friday and Saturday only. Ask when you reserve.
Mösyö Cafe & Restaurant turns its Kavaklık terrace over to live music after dark in Gaziantep, an alcohol-free option for a late evening outdoors.
TipMornings are for breakfast, evenings for the music. The terrace changes character completely.
Salaş Restaurant is the unfussy licensed grill of Türkmenler Caddesi in Gaziantep, built for long tables of kebab, meze and rakı rather than for atmosphere.
TipNo reservations culture here. Turn up early on a Friday if you want a table.
Gaziantep Baro Lokali is the bar association garden at the entrance to Kavaklık Park, open to anyone and the cheapest licensed table in the city.
