Retro Society Teşvikiye

At dinner, softer retro, soul and pop tracks set the mood. At parties, Turkish and international hits from the 1970s through the 2000s mingle with vinyl sets and current dance remixes; the guest DJ can tilt the night toward electronic music or groove. Each event has its own program.

Terracotta walls, brass-toned lights, dark wooden tables, mirrors and 1970s details create a warm brasserie. Later, spotlights and the DJ booth draw attention while the central dining area becomes a tighter space for dancing on one's feet.

A brasserie-style restaurant by day and early evening, transforming its table layout for DJs, vinyl selections and themed nostalgia parties at night. Its cocktail menu connects the two parts of the evening.

Friends wanting dinner and dancing in Teşvikiye without changing venues, cocktail enthusiasts and adults who enjoy nostalgic songs reworked by current DJs.

Comfortable, polished club attire suits the evening.

At Retro Society Teşvikiye, an old telephone, round table lamps and illuminated signs establish the decor's nostalgic side. The bottle-filled bar is washed in red and amber tones. DJ equipment sits among these details from another era. When dancing begins around the dining tables, the mood of the meal changes too.

Retro Society Teşvikiye stands out for its transition from dinner service to an entertainment setting featuring a DJ and Turkish pop music once the tables are cleared away. The atmosphere, attentive staff, smoke-free indoor area, pizzas, and certain cocktails receive praise in many reviews; groups of women find the venue comfortable and safe. However, food quality is inconsistent, with negative experiences reported regarding the pasta, tenderloin, lasagna, and portion sizes. Criticisms include the venue's small size and tendency to become overcrowded during peak hours, the perception that cocktails are expensive or weak, and issues with extra charges appearing on group bills. It may be advisable for large groups to track their bills separately.
