New Venues That Opened in 2026: Supermarket Istanbul and Lua By The Sea

Two new Istanbul venues that opened in 2026 offer very different ideas about how to spend an evening. In Şişhane, Supermarket Istanbul has a hybrid setup that carries an evening beginning with dinner toward the DJ booth and dance floor as the hours pass. At Beylikdüzü Marina, Lua By The Sea proposes a calmer gathering shaped by its terrace, sunset, and sea air. It would therefore be misleading to treat the two as new examples of the same genre. One is an urban entertainment experience that changes form throughout the night; the other is a waterfront restaurant-bar centered on the view and conversation around the table. That distinction can be felt in every detail, from their choice of location and use of music to the pace of the time spent at the table. Supermarket Istanbul speaks to those looking for surprise and momentum, while Lua By The Sea suits anyone who wants a long evening outdoors. What the two new addresses share is an approach to food and drink not merely as items on a menu, but as part of the atmosphere each venue creates.

Supermarket Istanbul: A Night That Changes Beyond the Market Door

Supermarket Istanbul

At Supermarket Istanbul in Asmalımescit, the night is built around a concept that begins the moment you step inside. The market-like exterior gives way to an entirely different atmosphere of red neon, mirrored surfaces, and speakeasy details. The transformation is not limited to the décor. During the day and early evening, the venue operates as a modern restaurant serving dishes such as pizza and schnitzel; after 10:30 p.m., the focus shifts to the DJ booth, cocktails, and dancing. The music follows the night’s rhythm as well: a line that begins with lo-fi and chill house opens up later to remixes of Turkish and international pop, commercial house, and electronic beats. Instead of making separate dinner and club plans, guests move through two distinct chapters of a night in the same venue. Creative décor, photo spots, and the cocktail program turn the idea into more than a visual gimmick. Supermarket Istanbul is a fitting new option for groups of friends who want a gathering that begins at the table to turn into dancing as the night unfolds.

Lua By The Sea: A Table That Stretches from Sunset to Marina Lights

Lua By The Sea

Lua By The Sea begins with the idea of turning its location at Beylikdüzü Marina into the evening’s natural backdrop. On the open terrace, the last light of day brings the sea and sky forward; after dark, the marina lights alter the atmosphere around the table. The experience here is less about a night that gathers speed than about a long evening spent at the same table over food, cocktails, and conversation. That makes the venue a natural fit for both couples and small groups of friends. Its restaurant-and-cocktail-bar identity creates a lighter evening in which cocktails and desserts take the lead; rather than anchoring an extended dinner, the table becomes a meeting point connecting sunset to night. A permanent stage or weekly music program is not central to the concept. Music remains in the background as a layer supporting the view and conversation. Lua’s real appeal lies in an open-air evening extending from sunset to the glow of the marina, and in the way time seems to slow around the table.
