I think Malio charges a minimum of 200 k to enter and same with Alexis, but it's the same theory. The good thing about that is you won't have a bunch of local ojek drivers jamming the place crowded in there due to those prices.
The ground floor at hotel classic where they have the foreign girls does charge a cover and I think it's good for one drink, but I forget. Bats and CJs also charge a cover that definitely includes one drink. Bats is 120 k and CJs is a little more than that. Places like Golden Crown and the other rave discos charge a cover as well.
I consider it a non-issue because in any of those places, I will at least buy one drink. And that's enough to cover that cover charge in any case.

Are Bajaj available everywhere?
Also what should be a standard negotiated price from Gambir station to Mangga Besar, or Mangga Besar to King Cross on a Bajaj?
Just a thought as others have mentioned that the cost of taxi is also close to what the Ojek or Bajaj would cost. If this is true then why would they even exist?

Posts: 313Entrance fees to brothels
Read on some other sites that some of the hotel brothels have an entrance fee. Not sure if it is waived if you took a girl or could be used towards your beer / drinks if none of the girls are to your liking. Also not sure if entrance fees only apply to certain times or days, like weekends. ?
I had plan on visiting several mentioned on this board and need to know if they have entrance fees and the amount as not to be surprised upon arrival.
Classic.
Travel.
King Cross.
Malioboro.
(Maybe Alexis- but unsure as it seems too pricey already with or without a fee).
Also, if other places you can think of have entrance fees, could list them here with the cost so others can also benefit from this info.
Thanks.

Posts: 3497Not a pickup spot, but a fun place to go these days is Jaya Pub. It's popular with both expats and locals. It's one of the oldest bars in the city and used to be one of the hottest hot spots in Jakarta. Then it died for almost 20 years. It has become popular again and is good fun. An old Dangdut singer runs the place. I'd never heard of him, but every time I've taken a girl there they always recognize that guy immediately as a famous "artist" from the past. He doesn't perform there, but has done a good job at bringing the bar back from the dead. The band mostly plays rock, but they also play dangdut on occasion. I love it when the hot chicks (why is it that dangdut chicks are always hot?) get up on the bar and sing dangdut. I normally bring a girl with me to the place. I have only been there on the weekend, so I'm not sure what it's like the rest of the week. Great atmosphere if you like a beer and a good time.
The Jaya Pub is right across the street from hotel Sari Pan Pacific.

Your list there contains such a wide variety of places, they need to be rated separately. If you are young and decent looking, you don't need to spend your time in brothels because the girls will throw themselves at you at the clubs with no hookers.
In my opinion:
Best Brothels: Kings Cross, Malioboro, Hotel Classic (Alexis is better than all of these, but more expensive).
Best Night Clubs with Hookers: Bats, Top Gun, CJs.
Best Night Clubs without Hookers: X2, Immigrant, Dragonfly (I see you list others that are new and trendy and they would all be good pickup spots if you are young).
Best Rave Discos: Golden Crown, Milles, Colosseum.
There are lots of other places as well, but if I was new in town, these are the ones I'd go with. Hell, even if you had been in town over 10 years, these are the ones I'd go with.

Having said that, it seems you have missed the Blok M bars like Top Gun and D's Place, the Maribaya Bar (or whatever it is called) at the Melawai Hotel (also in Block M), and the Penjay Bars in Kota, such as Sari Ayu and LA Bar (there are a number of such bars in the Komplek Indah Kota on Jalan Pengaran Jayakarta (may be off on some of the spelling). But whether you would enjoy Komplek Indah Kota in particular depends on how flexible you really are (e.g., very little English spoken there but still possible to have fun if you don't speak Indonesian).
I would also add Malioboro towards the top of the list, and you might want to consider Hotel Travel, although the service level there can be problematic.

Posts: 55Picking up girls on E
I do not think I have ever been to any clubs like what is described in and. Jakarta. I imagine an initial shock and awe for the first hour. I am not into techno, house, or anything like that so I will just have to tolerate the music as best I can. Woman come before music preference.
Assuming, I wanted to get a freebie from one of these type clubs, what is the best strategy for picking up a young Indo girl on E from one of these clubs?
Thanks in advance.

Greetings ISG,
Planning a trip to Jakarta and was looking for opinions on my info. Trying to get a feel for the lay of the land in regards to my nightlife choices.
I heard a lot of clubs have closed in the past year or so. So far this is the list I have gathered from online sources.
Illigals / Immigrant / CJ's / Bats / Golden Crown / Mille's / Sydney 2000 / Exotis / Blowfish / Dragonfly / X2 / Prive / Domain / Classic Hotel (Terminal) / 999 / UMBRA / Alexis / Venue / SCBD (Nebula / Fable / Lucy's / Empirica).
My tastes are quite varied and I would like to sample a little of everything Jakarta has to offer. Am I missing any club or bar of note?
What is your personal favorite from the list?
All info and recommendations are much appreciated.
Cheers

The Transjakarta buses (at least on Corridor 1) pick up passengers at stops in the middle of the street hence the right-hand doors but deposit and embark passengers on kerb-side platforms at the Kota and Blok M terminals hence the left-hand side doors.
The original Corridor 1 service was a Godsend to hobbyists who split their game between Blok M and Kota, it's almost like it was designed with us in mind. It used to be a great joy to whizz up and down the Thamrin / Sudirman axis during rush-hour but with the endless annual renovations (pointed out by Hung Man) and now the MRT construction this is no longer the case. As to the other corridors due to the fact that most of them don't operate on 100 percent exclusive lanes there is no real advantage and the standard of maintenance on the buses is appalling. Quite a number of them are LPG-fuelled and I remember reading somewhere that one could visualise a scenario where a bus stuck in rush hour traffic starts leaking gas, some bloke on a motorcycle next to it decides to light a cigarette, then whoosh! Doesn't bear thinking about.
Ojeks are handy for emergencies or when you simply need to get somewhere at a certain time (but why bother? The person you are meeting won't be on time) but relying on them as transport would not be recommended. The real solution is just accept there will be traffic with a Zen-like patience, get a good e-reader and sit back and relax, what awaits you at the end of your journey hopefully will wash away all stress.

Posts: 270The Former Today Country
I am trying to visit Jakarta after about 4 years. I was a regular traveller before and has visited TC which was situated at Lokasari. One of the later visits I noticed that was closed down. TC was a nice place to hang around the opening time around 1. 00 pm as there were nice looking girls. Those who have visited there know what I mean. Does anyone know whether it has re-opened in another location or anything similar is currently operating. Appreciate if you can share any information.
