Expensive drinks, but classy bar with live jazz music and businessmen. Not a hotspot of Jakarta nightlife and rather quiet, it attracts the capital's most upmarket crowd. Definitely not a girls' bar comparing with BATS in Shangri La hotel or CJs bar in Hotel Mulia, but
unexpected meetings are not impossible since many rich, older indonesian women come here. Starting on March 5th, 2010, the Las Vegas style show "Mister Moonlight" will be in Burgundy at 21h30. You can read more about it in this article of Jakarta Globe: Mister Moonlight. The same show used to be in Gaudi. Contact details:Burgundy JakartaGrand Hyatt 4th FloorJl. M.H.

An all-time favourite of Jakarta's nightlife. Very, very popular bar among expatriates, especially those who are already married. Easy to know why, counting the number of pretty, sexy girls. But the place isn't just about having sex. You can have a lot of fun partying there, bec
ause you will easily meet people in a relaxed atmostsphere. BATS has a live band, imported from Quebec the more often and playing Top 40 songs. A bit annoying because it's hard to talk and hard to find a place to seat though, but at least you will be pushed in the crowd and on the dancefloor. The entrance fee is quite expensive, around Rp. 80,000, but they will serve you a very large beer. Good to go on Sunday or Monday because it is one of the few places still crowded. Very tasty s
teaks at the restaurant. Official website here: BATS Jakarta Shangri-La Hotel (Level 1) in Kota BNI JL. Jend. Sudirman Kav. 1Opening hours: 5pm - 2am (Sunday - Thursday) 5pm - 3am (Friday and Saturday) Dinner: 7pm - 10pm Happy hour from 5pm - 7pmPhone(62 21) 570 7440 ext. 6401
The bar caters to the expats living in Taman Rasuna. Always quite crowded, good food, a mix of all the best dishes from each country. English Premier League Football games and Fashion TV on one of the dozen plasma screen. Popular hang-out for Indonesian girls as well, the type you would meet in Red Square. You guessed why. Not a place to party on weekends but during the week it's
one of the best place to meet people. The only thing that bother me there is that there are way too many TV screen, making it hard to look something else, especially when there's fashion TV on the background while you have in front of you the same old expat faces you've been eating with for 2 years. They have an excellent and very detailed website with information on events, menu and prices Aphrodite Jakarta. Contact details: Aphrodite Restaurant and Bar Jakarta - Club Rasuna - Jl.

Hostess bar in Blok M. Similar in purpose to My Bar, and less popular than neighbouring Top Gun and Ds Place, the stars in Blok M's nightlife.

caught on the mirror... haha!):
Churchill Bar is a classy, distinguished bar, in one of the most beautiful colonial buildings of Jakarta. A must-do for any tourists or newly arrived expats, it should also provide you with a good opportunity to visit Kota Tua, the historical cent
er of Jakarta. Nearby buildings include Old Batavia's Townhall and the VOC Governor office which can all be reached by foot. The area is currently being renovated as the government has finally come to realize its cultural importance and, though not much has been done yet, a stroll around the (polluted) canal back to the Stasiun Kota is something I really enjoy.For those who are bold enough, I advise you to make a stop in Stadium on the way back, as a way to enjoy another monument of Jakarta!Interesting fact: Churchill was ranked amond the World's best bars in 1996 by Newsweek.Churchill Bar in Cafe BataviaTaman Fatahillah, KotaTel.: (62)(21) 691 5531
