It's Friday: Selamat Lebaran Everyone

Are the bars and clubs open during Ramadan there?

Where do you live? In Jakarta?

Bars like Cazbar, Eastern Promise etc are open quite late (1-2am)and have live music some nights.

Many of the clubs are open to 3. I was in Blowfish last night and it was almost as busy as normal after 2. I Guess Stadium will be open till 4, but I've not been there this Ramadan

Hi Jazzy

I guess from your profile, you're not in Jakarta

What is it like in Bahrain during Ramadan?

Hi Sam,

You're correct im not from Jakarta. I'm based in Bahrain.

Over here in Bahrain during Ramadan, its really quiet. Working hours are shortened if you're fasting. Restaurants and eateries are closed during the fasting times of the day. No alcohol is served during the whole of Ramadan neither are bars and clubs open. You can't eat or drink (or even chew gum) in public during the fasting days.

However, everything opens after the fast is broken in the evening. So restaurants and malls stay open till late say like 1:00am in the morning. The roads are alot busier and shopping malls are crowded. Just two days back, i went to the mall and struggled to find parking at midnight
