360 is a rooftop bar and a restaurant located in a 19th-century building's penthouse in Istiklal, offering a splendid panoramic view of the Bosphorus, golden horn, and the sea of Marmara. 


360's design, architecture, atmosphere, and entertainment set it apart from the rest of the nightlife in Istanbul. It attracts tourists for its perfectly blended Turkish and international cuisine. 


Weekends at 360 mean experiencing some of the best DJs, vocalists, live dancers, and performers.
