Secret Speakeasy Night in Istanbul
Secret Speakeasy Night is a perfect date idea for couples who are interested in old-world charm. You will experience hidden bars with the vibes of the Prohibition era, live music, elegant ambiance, and meticulous cocktail craftsmanship without breaking the bank.
- Your date begins in a nondescript building in Istanbul. You and your partner will find a hidden entrance leading to a dark-lit bar filled with vintage vibes. The smell of old leather and aged whiskey fills the air. Live music gently caresses your soul as you take a moment to soak in the ambiance.
- After finding a cozy corner, you order your meticulously crafted cocktails. You discuss the covert nature of the speakeasies during the Prohibition era. You whisper about things only both of you understand while a soft jazz tune plays in the background.
- As for the climax, let the night unfolds. Will you sit back and enjoy the performances? Or will you find a quiet corner to share secrets? Whatever it may be, the night is young, and so are you.
Preparation steps:
- Clothing should match the speakeasy atmosphere - think 1920s Americana. Don't forget to check the locations of the bars beforehand. Some speakeasies are truly hidden and require a password at the door. It can be fun to guess, but if you're not as adventurous, simply ask a local or look it up online.
- Be sure to arrive early if you want to secure an intimate corner spot. Many speakeasies fill up fast, and the late evening's bustling crowd might reduce your chances for a quiet discussion.
- Finally, despite their old-fashioned vibes, these bars accept cards. However, you may want to bring some cash just in case since they are often in older buildings which can sometimes result in card-system issues.

Some tips:
- Speak with the bartender whilst ordering your drinks. They are usually knowledgeable about the history of speakeasies and the Prohibition era. They can potentially tailor a unique experience according to your tastes.
- Also, bear in mind many speakeasies are all about the vibe, not just the drinks. If you enjoy the music, disregard the occasional off-key note or a slightly sour cocktail. The speakeasy should take you back to a different time, imperfections included.
- Finally, always respect the rules of the bar. Some places have specific policies - no photos, no loud talking, no cell phones - it's all a part of the charm and what makes the experience unique.
