2 Best Nightlife in The Turquoise Coast, Turkey

This popular Irish bar in the middle of Kaleiçi has friendly servers, a good beer selection, and international sporting matches on the TV. A wide-ranging menu of better-than-average food gives it a bit of gastropub flair.

The action begins after sunset at places like the Royal Castle, which claims to be the oldest bar in Side. It's just inland from the water, on the southwest corner of the old town, and its publike atmosphere includes televised soccer games that keep British patrons happy. There is also live music most evenings in season. Be warned, though: drink prices can be steep.
