People asked us to create an English version of Crazy Night$ In Jakarta, our French blog where we try to uncover some of Jakarta's hidden nightspots. But the truth is our English sucks, and we don’t have time. So we found a compromise by making short reviews about 100 bars and clubs (170 now actually but we like the name of the blog) in Jakarta : The Jakarta One Hundred. We receive many emails of people asking us where to pick up girls/prostitutes in Jakarta.. It is definitely not our purpose in writing this blog... Yes, we went to a lot of nasty clubs in Jakarta, but curiosity is driving us, not our libido.. That said, we hope you'll enjoy this blog as much as we enjoy doing it! At the end of the blog, we also put wrote some advices for a better understanding of Jakarta's nightlife (click here).
For vocabulary: We call Techno Kota the head-banging music they play in some of Kota's clubs... sounds like spanish makina (hear an example here and my all-time favourite funky house song here - connoisseurs of Kota nightlife should start crying).
Last update: June 2009. Please add comments on the bars and help us keep this blog up-to-date! Thanks in advance.. For any info about nightlife in Jakarta or about living in Jakarta, or if you want to exchange links, don't hesitate to send us an email: jakartateam at gmail.com and we will be happy to write you back!
One of the best night clubs in Kemang (I also like Nu China). There is a 50,000rp entrance fee (on weekends at least) with free drink included.
