dancinglady

oh i need info bout d expat n jakarta nite life

Fred

It's expensive and rubbish.

dancinglady

wow rubbish hahaha well could be lol

Fred

Booze is overpriced because of taxes and bar owners who exploit you.
That and the expensive rents in areas where many of the bars are, force prices up even further.
I'm glad I don't booze. Saves me a fortune.

Fred

PS - I'm from a place called Barnsley, Yorkshire, England.
We aren't known for being free and easy when it comes to spending hard earned cash so I see expensive booze as a real waste of cash.
Of course, going all Muslim didn't exactly enhance my interest in getting smashed on expensive pop but I have no problem with anyone else who fancies a drink of anything harder than Coca cola.

I dislike rip off jobs and that's pretty much what booze is in Indonesia.

I'm old and boring but I hope you have a fantastic time.
Jl Jaksa is a serious dump to be avoided unless you're a male drunk looking for horizontal pleasure at a price.

Been and I won't be going again.
Not because I don't drink or even my taking of Islam - More because it's a rubbish dump.

What I know about Apollo bar & lounge is Gay bar (sorry if wrong)

Nightlife in Jakarta that what I know:

Bluegrass, near epicentrum mall (semi outdoor with AC, music DJ)
Vin+ (wine lounge with music ipod), Arcadia plaza in Senayan & Kemang)
Hacienda (bar & grill, band), Arcadia plaza in Senayan

Black cat (jazz music band), Arcadia plaza in Senayan
Immigrant (music DJ), Plaza Indonesia level 6th
Dragonfly (music DJ), Wisma BIP level lobby in Jalan Gatot Subroto
Blowfish (music DJ, younger ladies), City Plaza Wisma Mulia in Jalan Gatot Subroto
Bats (music DJ and also the band is from Australia, professional ladies), in Shangri-La Hotel
CJ's (music DJ and also band, professional ladies), in Mulia Hotel
Nu China (music DJ, cheaper bottle of alcohol, not too big place but nice), Kemang

X2 (3 different musics: R&B DJ in second floor, live band in first floor and Train music DJ in first floor and you only pay once), Plaza Senayan level 4th & 5th
Luna Negra (music ipod), in Bapindo plaza level ground
Union (one group with Cork & screw and Loewy, similar for the concept), Plaza Senayan level 1st - try all the cakes, the famous are red velvet, banana choco & I forgot there is 1 cake with purple color
Cazbar (music ipod, sport club, level 2nd they have a billiard table and blues music band) in Kantor Taman, Mega Kuningan

dancinglady

wew ty so much for d info

bronis

last but not least, Alexis can be fun, oh yeah ive been there :D  while those FPI talking loud here n' there against porn** etc even successfully banned lady gaga concert coz shes to vulgar :D  dam' bought the ticket already lol , but check out those strippers in Alexis & some nite clubs in Kota, they are free dancing the nite away ... Jakarta oh Jakarta

msandarina

Lol, jakarta nite life can be rough yet its fun, depends on which place u want to go, what music and the society :0 , some of the club is claimed for those jet set some of is full with lonely man whose looking for 1 night fun or a just a bunch of people whose looking some fun,drink and enjoying the weekend with friend. and yes!! the Booze here damn so expensive beers start form 35-60 Rp ,poor gin tonik and other spirits is around 70-90 Rp , cocktails from 95-120rp and so on.

If you are young professional Female around 25 years above perhaps you will like Immigrant, Lowey,blowfish,dragonfly or even Cj's and Bats for the life music (just take care the way u dress up here since so many baby here), avoid kemang area for me i found kemang clubs more for teenagers.but you can have a decent dinner and late dinner after since they have 24hour restaurant. but kemang have so many decent Beers Garden which I loved to go after office hour on Friday. for more intense clubbing you can go to KOTA area for more sin and Crazy wild night when you get stuck and bored by the empty bar on the downtown.

have fun
Ms.andarina
