XLarge Club İstanbul

Turkish and international pop, house and energetic dance tracks accompany choreographed shows with frequent shifts in tempo. On Fridays and Saturdays DJs share the night with drag queen, go-go and choreographed dance performances; the running order and guests change with the weekly schedule.

Theatrical lighting, a large stage and colorful costumes make for an exuberant night where applause, dancing and watching the show overlap.

A large, inclusive show club putting a conventional nightclub, drag, cabaret and professional dance on the same stage. The dance floor and costumed production carry equal weight.

LGBTQ+ people and friends, drag fans, celebration groups, local and foreign visitors and guests looking for a more visual night than a conventional club.

Expressive, creative outfits fit the shows; smart casual is a reliable choice. Avoiding careless sportswear may make door admission easier.

XLarge Club Istanbul is appreciated for its grand stage shows, stylish décor, and—on certain nights—its safe atmosphere. However, the club's reduced size following a division of the space, the lack of a dance floor, and an entertainment model centered on table and bottle service may fall short of expectations. Opinions on the shows vary; while some find them impressive, others consider them short or merely average. Frequent criticisms include demands for payment before reaching the ticket counter, issues with the cloakroom, slow service, and a cold attitude from the staff. It is also noted that the venue can be very empty on some nights. Visiting without first checking the event calendar, entrance fees, and seating arrangements appears risky.
