Make a Reservation

You'll grab dinner in a quirky Turkish restaurant, catch an indie concert in a vibey lounge next door, & maybe even end the night with more live music on a rooftop. 

Here's your plan for a Turkish supper club and concert hall experience in Bushwick, New York

Turkish Supper Club & Concert Hall

Dine at The Turk's Inn in Bushwick, New York, for Turkish-inspired cuisine. Enjoy 50% off your first drink with a concert ticket.

Dinner & Drinks

✅ Before you go:
• We recommend grabbing reservations for dinner, especially if you’re going before a popular show (step 2): ndge.me/theturksinn/

💪 Pro tips: 
• Show your concert ticket (for step 2) for 50% off your first drink! And while you’re getting that discount, def try one the specialty cocktails. For my tequila people, the Margie really is that good. And if you like a twist on an espresso martini: the Tahini White Russian is v good!
• We also loved the hummus and dips
• The cheese was of course awesome and came with a really delicious sauce

Grab dinner (& 50% off drinks) at The Turk's Inn

Catch live indie or experimental music at The Sultan Room in Bushwick, a trendy venue with a diverse music calendar, drinks, and rooftop access.

Live Concert

✅ Before you go:
• Find a concert you’re excited to see and get tickets ahead of time. They have anything from rock bands to DJ sets to experimental music. Check out the show calendar here: https://thesultanroom.com/
• Note: this is a 21+ venue 
• If you’re planning on getting drinks at the bar, know that they have a $15 card minimum. So either plan on getting 2 (beers are $8, wine is $9, cocktails are $14), or bringing cash

💪 Pro tips: 
• The door to the rooftop, “Kismet Garden”, is right next to where your ticket will be checked. It might be closed depending on the weather/season/event. They occasionally have some really cool, experimental music there. And in the summer, it can be a great place for a drink or snack before the sun goes down! Def check it out if it's open

Catch a concert at The Sultan Room

What if I told you there's a place where you can eat at an escapist

Turkish restaurant and check out live music and keep the party going on a rooftop?

Here's your plan. This is The Turk's Inn in Bushwick.

But as you step through that red curtain,

you might feel like you're somewhere else completely.

It's the coolest space and the food marries Turkish and Midwestern influences.

We tried their assortment of dips and cheese kurds because fried cheese.

My friend Ash said that Margie might be her new favorite cocktail ever.

By the way, you can get those drinks half-off when you show your concert ticket,

which brings us to our next step for the night. After dinner,

find the next door down, walk through the fun hall of mirrors,

through the swirly-twirly door and you'll find yourself at The Sultan Room,

which happens to be one of my personal favorite small venues in the city.

They host a variety of awesome bands here.

They might jam so hard, they break a string. Dance away and before you head home,

The rooftop is ... a world of its own. To make it happen,

just grab your friends and snag those concert tickets soon.

Want to create healing art with like-minded people?

@journalingclasses offers a somatic body painting workshop!

We started off with writing our names and collectively picked a tarot card.

I love how we got to write down a word that resonated with us on our matchbox

and then lit our intention candles with it.

We drew and painted on the canvas and our bodies

and even danced a little in response to each prompt.

It was such a loving space of vulnerability,

I've never played with paint like this before and my inner child was so happy.

It was so transformative and I left feeling re-centered and loved 💕
