At first blush I would say, "drink." There's a lot of that going on! Outside the gate is the "alley" which is lined with various shops, restaurants, and bars. The better ones are on the base side of the railroad tracks (less problem with scammers, fights, and general mischief). Most play a mix of rock and hip-hop, some country as well. For rock music, go to Bunker Bar, Eagle Bar, or Falcon Bar (far side of the railroad tracks, on the right side). For hip-hop go to Smileys, Cheers, or Disco Nesim if they're not off-limits this month. The other bars play kind of a mix. The best place to go in terms of a nice building/facilities, is Dream Club, they play a lot of hip-hop and some rock. The owner there (Sami) is a really good guy and deserves the good business he gets. For restaurants, there is a mexican restaurant (Amigos) owned by an American and Turkish couple. They do quite well in replicating the Mexican menu in Turkey. For Turkish food at an excellent price, go (in order) to Royal Restaurant, who in my opinion has the best food and prices (ask for the Iskender Kebab), Moonlight, or the Red Onion. There's even a Chinese place there that's pretty good. If you visit the bars, you'll find bar girls there who will get you to buy them a drink. They make something like one dollar for every drink you buy for them. They're actually nice people who don't have much of another way to make it in life but to do that and perhaps meet a nice foreigner to marry, so don't think that they're hookers or anything like that... In any case, NEVER, EVER go with anyone to a club in Adana, even if you think you know them. What they have planned for you isn't very nice. In some cases they've drugged people and charged up their credit cards, at the very least you'll find out that you have a $500 bar tab at these places, and you're not leaving until you pay it. Just stay on the BASE SIDE of the railroad tracks and you normally won't run into these people.

I had heard Incirlik is pretty dead now, not much business off base and restaurants and shops are closing down. Any truth to that?
By the way, Royal Restaurant is closed, the business was quite bad and Easy went out of business, I can certainly say it couldn't have happened to a nicer person...

Everything out in the Alley seems to be a little slow compared to prior 2003, but everything for the most part is still open. There are some newer clubs, like Area 51 which is located under Easy's Restaurant and Actually Easy owns Area 51. His club is actually really nice and has a nice sitting area outside as well. I havent seen too many places closed down though. I will update with more stuff as I get out and about the Alley...

Area51DJ,
I only speak the truth, Area 51 is the only enjoyable bar that I personally enjoy off base. And on top of that Easy's Restaraunt on the second floor is probably the nicest/best restaurant in the alley as well. Next time I go to Area 51 I will try and hit you up.

Well if Easy is running the place it's probably a good place to go. And welcome Area51DJ!

Just a heads up, unfortunately Area 51 has been placed on the "off limits" status for Americans here at Incirlik.
