[QUOTE=Jritz; 1149948]Liondale: I really admired your insights and couldn't agree more.
Both Smoothy and Catire have some good points and let's not debate and who's right or wrong because from what I see it comes back to one own preferences (some like funky techno some like live musics). Hei the most important is whatever works for you and your game.
As for myself I frequent both of those places (in fact I have Dragonfly's membership and also member of CJ's / anyone needs a table?). I've got to admit thought that when I went to these places, I was with a companion (or sometimes companions.) already, so I just went there to enjoy the place athmosphere, not on hunting mission. In fact, usually my decision to visit which venues was based on the girls' wishes. From my experience, girls who're more outgoing and love to dance (usually westerners bg or latinas) dig Cjs more. While more classy (and glossy) girls who want a good place just to relax and drink dig Dragonfly more. For me I just be there for the spill of their funs hehe.
PS. Anyone ever try new club name Immigrant in Plaza Indonesia? I was recommended this place by a friend last time visiting jakarta, but haven't checked it my self. Heard it's a good pick-ups place. [/QUOTE]Went to Immigrant with a friend last year in August (2010) because he had heard it was supposed to be the new hot spot. This was a Sat night I think, definitely a weekend night, but I found it highly highly disappointing. Crowd was a little on the lame side, the music I thought blew (top 40 type stuff). In my professional opinion (since I've worked in several nightclubs and know the scene) it had all the hallmarks of a place that was NO LONGER the "in spot" to be, and was now desperately surviving on previous reputation and stragglers alone as the cool crowd had left it, as is the case in the natural club life cycle. That same evening, went to Dragonfly which was much better and X2 was very good for a "pedestrian" club. Of course, your mileage and likes / dislikes may differ from mine.
Given it's almost a year later, unless something has drastically changed, I think now it 's likely to completely suck, if it's even still open. (the owners surely sank some dough into the place, I wonder if they recouped their money, much less made a good profit when the times were good. Of course, given their location, they may be locked into an expensive lease.
