Moda Kayıkhane

A broad concert programme spanning Turkish pop, rock, arabesk, alternative music and 1990s nostalgia nights. On most concert nights doors open at 20:00, the live performance begins around 22:30 and continues until 01:00.

Restored brickwork, metal galleries and an industrial ceiling preserve the building's maritime heritage. Blue-yellow stage lights and large name signs frame the acts. Moda Pier and the sea are visible through windows and from the open section; standing concerts fill the hall with a dense crowd.

A multipurpose historic boathouse serving as a restaurant by day and a ticketed concert and private-event hall by night.

Concertgoers across a broad age range for Turkish music, diners preferring seated programmes, couples seeking waterfront events and hosts of corporate or private gatherings.

Choose between smart-casual and comfortable concert clothing depending on whether the event is seated or standing. Allow for cooler evenings by the water.

You enter Moda Kayıkhane past white waterfront canopies, fish decorations and a statue. Moving from the outdoor area into the concert hall with its broad stage changes the evening's mood. Beneath large screens and a circular ceiling rig are a violin, drums and microphones. Bathed in red and blue, the crowd raises its hands; a gathering that begins by the water becomes a lively concert indoors.

Moda Kayıkhane attracts attention with its historic pier building, waterfront views, and a program that spans everything from daytime breakfasts to evening concerts. Those who appreciate the food, cocktails, and event organization... There are visitors who praise the staff for effectively resolving issues. Service can be very slow and disorganized on busy days; reports indicate that orders have been delivered to the wrong tables or failed to arrive altogether. Portions are small, and some guests found the service to be aloof. There are complaints about having to stand in the VIP section, which—based on the ticket—gives the impression of having a seating area. There is also a serious allegation that a senior staff member behaved rudely toward a family asking for permission to use the restroom. It is advisable to check the seating arrangements and scope of service for the event beforehand.
