Being an observant soul, I noticed an intriguing ad outside the Akmani, promising 'all the beer you can drink' for Rp 130,000 between 7pm and 10pm on a daily basis, so in we went last Thursday.It's loc
ated on what they call the Podium level of the first floor, which is basically one floor up from ground. The place is very dark, but clean and paradoxically bright, - after all, bianca does mean white - and its furnishing and decor is extremely modernist.The music, alas, is an echo of the metallic cacaphony one gets in certain down-market discos, but that's a matter of taste, though it's hard to have a conversation unless you're close-up to your compaion, which can of course be no bad thing!The staff, the girls that is, are kitted out in short skirts, and those waitresses who 
served us were friendly and polite, and once they realised they had a beer-hog on their hands they kept it flowing very freely (San Miguel beer for the special offer)It was far from crowded but midweek after all, and the clientele were a slightly unusual selection of people, e.g a trio of African businessmen with an unspeaking girl trailing around after them, a few loners who sat over their drinks at the bar, a bohemian couple who seemed mesmerised by the music, which droned on i
n complete inconsistency with the fashion show playing on the big screen tv. A couple of likely lasses drifted in mid-evening but it was not exactly a pick-up joint.We took a seat in a far corner, the better to observe, It was too dark to read the glossy magazines provided but you don't come to a bar to read mags, do you?.It was only towards the end of the evening that we discovered the actual terrace, which has very comfortable chairs outdoors, overlooking the main drag below, which in itself is a most entertaining spectacle at any time of day or night!I wouldn't make it my local, b
ut for a change from jaksa or Falatehan, it's an okay bar.Terrazza Bianco in Akmani HotelJl. KH Wahid Hasyim No. 91Central Jakarta (DKI Jakarta) 13050, Indonesia(0)21 3190 5335.

KH Wahid Hasyim No. 91Central Jakarta (DKI Jakarta) 13050, Indonesia(0)21 3190 5335.The Hotel Alexis is not really a hotel, it’s more like a bordello. You’ve got a good club downstairs, The Play, with house/progressive music and sexy dancers, and a very select lounge/spa on the seventh floor, the Bathhouse, with girls from countries as far as Uzbekistan, Myanmar or Russia coming to entertain the patrons. Entrance fee for the B
athhouse lounge is Rp. 120,000, and no drinks included. Also a karaoke on the 5th floor (I forgot the name), very nice, with flat screen TV and audio equipment suitable for outdoor concerts. Goddam expensive though, about Rp 3.5 million for 4 people.

People call it the Aquarium . Alexis has become one of the most famous party place in Jakarta over the past 2-3 years, along with Stadium, Bats, Blowfish and Red Square. Be sure to check the 7th floor...
