Two shores, one night
In Istanbul, evening plans often start with the question "Which side are you on?". On the Asian side: sunset on the Moda shore, tea by the water in Üsküdar, a long meyhane dinner in the Kadıköy market. On the European side: a glass in Karaköy, endless conversations in Cihangir, the post-match crowds in Beşiktaş. The city is so big that every neighbourhood feels like a city of its own.
The problem: nobody wants to lose an hour in traffic, and catching the last ferry is a stress of its own. You also know those chats on apps that go on for weeks and stop at "let's meet sometime". On YesTonite it is simple: you see who is out tonight, you send one message, and if they reply you meet the same evening on your side of the city.
Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights, but after-work meetups on weekdays are very common too. Dinner starts late and conversations run long; keep the last ferry and metro times in mind for the way home.
Istanbul's evening neighbourhoods
- KadıköyThe heart of the Asian side, where people wander all night between the market, Barlar Sokağı and Moda.
- ModaSunset by the sea, calm cafés and small bars; just right for a first meeting.
- BeyoğluMeyhanes, bars and live music around İstiklal Avenue, Asmalımescit and Galata.
- KaraköyCafés, cocktail bars and streets leading down to the sea among old inns and warehouses.
- CihangirKnown for neighbourhood cafés on its sloping streets and conversations that run late into the night.
- BeşiktaşThe busy streets of Çarşı, affordable places and the buzz of match nights.
How it works: three steps.
Say you're out
Switch on "out tonight" and you get a green dot. It turns off by itself in the morning.
Send one message
See a photo and an age, say something, and the chat opens for both of you. No matching first.
Meet tonight
Pick a place, or join an event nearby. Same evening, not three weeks of small talk.
Events anyone can host
Know the best spot in Moda to watch the sunset, or a place in Beşiktaş to watch the match? On YesTonite anyone 18 or over can host an event: a meyhane evening in Kadıköy, an evening walk by the sea, a language exchange meetup, karaoke or a board game night. Open events you join straight away, for ones that need approval you send a request; the address is only shown to those whose spot is confirmed.

About the partner programQuestions, answered
Is YesTonite new in Istanbul?
Yes. We have only just started in Istanbul, so there are not many members yet. Everyone you see is a real member who joined of their own accord; we never invent profiles or numbers.
Is meeting the same evening really possible?
That is exactly what YesTonite is for. Switch on "I'm going out tonight", look at who is out tonight, send a message and pick the place together. For a first meeting choose a busy, public place like the Kadıköy market or the area around İstiklal.
Is it free?
Yes. Signing up, browsing, a set number of new chats every day and all replies are free. Extras are optional.
This evening, on your side.
