Babylon

Fodor's Review:

Babylon is Istanbul's best live music space, hosting world-famous jazz, rock, and world music performers. It's in a converted warehouse and the sound system is excellent—the friendly crowds take their music seriously. It's closed during summer, when Babylon Alaçati opens in the beach town of Çesme, near Izmir.
