Really great venue for listening to jazz. Bar is cozy downstairs; and jazz setting upstairs is a little cramped but intimate. Audio is very good. Prices are reasonable for drinks and cover. Can’t enter jazz area until around 2115.

This is a great place for jazz lovers. I had an ideal jazz night there, listening to some talented musicians playing live. The music was amazing, with a mix of classic and modern jazz tunes. The prices were fair, both for the drinks and the food. The entry fee was not bad at all, considering the quality of the music and the atmosphere. I also respect that they make a huge discount for music students, which shows their support for the jazz community. I totally enjoyed that place and I would love to go back again. If you are looking for a cozy and classy jazz club, this is the place to go.

Visiting this place which is one of many jazz clubs in the new town Istanbul. Didn’t realize that the jazz scene of this city was so vibrant! The performance is awesome but the drinks can be better 🤣

Amazing musicians producing jazz ,ethnic and experimental etc. musics . Small place, great for going a private concert

Lgbtiq+ friendly! Great music, great people!

Great place! Every evening this month they hosted a jazz concert. With a group of friends we went in for a jazz concert of Cenk Erdogan Trio. Concert was amazing! The atmosphere and staff are great.

Went here for a jazz show on a Friday night. The tickets cost 150 TL ($8 USD) per person. The energy was good inside. The place was very crowded, so it was hard to find a place to sit, and if you sat, you almost certainly couldn't see. The acoustics were good but noticeably too loud—I wasn't close to a speaker but it was uncomfortably loud at times. Overall, it was a nice night, and I would probably go back.

Best place for best case performances

There are very few places that you can listen jazz in Istanbul. Bova is one of them. Unfortunately, despite the law and quite high penalty, they allow to smoke there and I hate it. If you are a non smoker, don't go there.

Awful experience at BOVA. i went to listen to jazz music but instead i listened to school aprentices who delivered awful music for about 1 hour and i left. the food was not OK, and the place was overcrowded. you have to pay 80 Tl to watch the show. i don't recommand this place for jazz lovers. I give one Star because i am obliged by google

FANTASTIC jazz club. Wonderful atmosphere and incredible music. Better than Nardis. Performances every night. Arrive by 9:15pm and you shouldn't have trouble finding a seat. Buy a ticket first downstairs at the bar. Performance starts a little after 9:30pm.

The bar was ok and the jazz band was also ok (nothing really special). They charged me 126,5 lira for a beer called "Bomonti" but a local had to pay only 115 lira so if you are there and you buy Bomonti, only pay 115 and tell them you know the price.

Nice jazz club at the heart of Taksim with live music and friendly atmosphere, strongly recommended for funs of a good jazz vibes!!

Very nice place, food food and prices. The Negroni is also very good. We enjoyed it very much and the owner was very nice to us. Thanks for the great 3h + show of the band!

It is a very nice venue and they invite good bands, but they have some sound settings problem . I had to leave early because the sound was too loud and my ears actually could not bear it 🙉 (the concert of 29.12.2023 - maybe it's not always like that).

I was having doubts about calling it the night but i decided to try out this place at the last minute and to be honest, that was the best decision I've made during the whole trip! The sound was good, drinks were as good as one expects and the staff were friendly and helpful. The music was being played upstairs and started a little past 22. Ticket price was 120 TL and smoking was not allowed in the room. Overall its gonna be a wonderful way to finish off the day.

Amazing! Friendly staff, great music, would love to have this kind and quality of bar in my hometown.

I've had a great time, thanks to the staff and singers, musicians. I highly recommend the place for jazz and music lovers in general. Being there is something flawless which is a medication to the soul..... Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful indeed! Keep up the good work laddies :)

This place is incredible!!!! I went by myself one night and it felt like something straight out of a movie!!! It’s small and intimate and very cosy. The entrance fee of 80 lira is such great value. The sound system is fantastic and it makes for a really great listening experience.

Though a bit tiny, it's a really nice place for listening to jazz in Istanbul. Nice selection of beers, cocktails and food will accompany your experience. Just don't expect the music to start at 21.30 as advertised, most likely it would be delayed to 22.00

Lovely place to listen to music. Drinks are average but the staff is really nice. Good option to chill at night on Istanbul.

Portrait and a Dream!

Amazing place!!! Nice music, nice staff, nice vibes. I highly recommend this place for a jazz night, I will definitely go again.

Entering fee for 90 TRL, food and drinks are reasonable price and the music is good. You can get along with musician here too.

It feels like home

Nice small place to have a drink. Live music upstairs.

Amazing music! Nice separate areas - pub and music on the 2 floor. Two evenings two great events! Recommended for live music and comfortable atmosphere.

Cozy place to listen jazz, small but not crowded

We love this tiny jazz club. Great music, great bands, the drinks were fairly priced. One thing that was annoying, there are no reservations needed they said over the phone, but when we got there they seem to have kept the good tables to their favorites.

The best place to spend your night listening to good blues amd jazz music. Nice atmosphere, affordable prices, and great bands. Enjoy your night with Bova Jazz Club.

Fantastic vibe and drinks. The service was spectacular. We unfortunately missed the live music but I'd definitely go back for that

Lovely bar, live music every night it seems on the top floor, most of the time some delicious jazz, but seem to mix it up with some interesting more souly and blues like the weekend I was there. Staff is very friendly, worth a visit, went there frequently.

Good place for music lovers, nice atmosphere, unprofessional saff, avarage cocktails.

Friendly staff, mediocre wine, cool events, mostly jazz

Good music, good atmosphere!

Good music, friendly staff, reasonable prices.

(Translated by Google) I came in randomly, they got the money for music. Drinking a beer was not so expensive (Original) Rastgele içeri girdim, müzik parası aldılar. Bir bira içmek bu kadar pahalıya gelmemişti

Nice atmosphere in the heart of Istanbul, near Taksim. Upstairs are live performances of turkish jazz bands (entrance fee 25 tl), downstairs is free.

Nice jazz bar. Surprising musicians almost every day. Not posh, quite casual. I like to get in while passing by.

(Translated by Google) Taksim Square = Myeong-dong Disappointed and searched on Google bar. I gave up on the slow internet and entered an alley. (Original) 탁심광장=명동 실망하고 구글에 바 검색하다 느린 인터넷에 포기하고 골목하나 들어왔다가 입구 분위기 좋아서 들어온곳 공연전 재즈밴드 연습하는 모습이 자유롭고 바에 앉아서 현지인들 바텐더와 대화하면서 마시는 술이 즐겁다.

Really cool place .. if you love jazz / underground music or just music in general you'll have a good time.

(Translated by Google) It was nice. (Original) Güzeldi.

(Translated by Google) It has been a great place to increase the places where music is freely played. Everything is normal. This works with support, if you love, please support !! (Original) Özgürce müzik yapılan yerlerin artması adına harika bir mekan olmuş. Peşin ücret alınması, müzik için ücret kesilmesi vs herşey normal. Bu işler destekle yürüyor, seviyorsanız destek olunuz!!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful (Original) Harika

(Translated by Google) I like it in general. Of course I have some dislikes. The event does not start at the hour, we waited another hour. And the seating arrangement can be better arranged than the stage performance. Beautiful business <3 (Original) Genel olarak begendim. Begenmedigim yanlari da var tabii. Soylenen saatte etkinlik baslamiyor, fazladan bir saat daha bekledik. Ve oturma duzeni sahne performansina gore daha guzel duzenlenebilir. Guzel isletme <3

Great music, atmosphere, people,....

Definitely the best place in taksim, they always have amazing live jazz, the place is always crowded, the prices are reasonable, I just love this place.

Cool spot, friendly owners & staff. Vibrant music & atmosphere..

(Translated by Google) What can I say, everything is gorgeous and wonderful (Original) Ne diyim her şey muhteşem ve harika

Nice music venue for Jazz lovers

Nice little jazz bar with live music. Good beer for good price. Extremely crowded. When I was there, they were celebrating first birthday so there was a lot of musicians playing just for fun. It was amazing.

(Translated by Google) Decent and beautiful place (Original) Nezih ve guzel bi yer

I've been to many places in the world, tested many beers and I've never ever had a better beer than Bova's Draft Beer, the place was amazing, cozy and welcoming. Yesterday we went there and also ordered a Beer Plate expecting only a few snacks only for it to be this massive plate with lots of food in it(chicken fingers, sausages, spring rolls, fries and onion rings) and unlimited condiments. If you're in Istiklal please visit this place, you will not regret it. I look forward to coming back whenever I visit Istanbul again.

Amazing venue! Great people, great service, music and all that jazz. Highly recommend.

Interesting place with exciting live music. The bar is meager. Can do better in choice and hygiene!

Best jazz I've heard in a LONG time! Forget the rest, this is the best!

Chill and relaxing vibes. Fantastic jazz/soul music.

Great atmosphere and hospitality. They have a normal bar on the first floor and music on the second. Great music both times I was there too
