Got 2 nights in jakarta, been to BATS and Tiga Puluh bars. Need other things to there. I play golf and will be doing that, wondering what else to do that would be worthwhile. Have another 2 nights there also later in the month. Everything considered. Thanks
you can do lot's of stuff in jakarta depend on which area are u staying. The city is expecting lot's of demonstration this month. So be careful on day time.
Check out CJ's in the Mulia, as well as their Friday Japanese brunch with free flow beer, relax afterwards with a visit to their health club for a massage....
Otherwise, slum it, go to Hard Rock, TGI's or Bugels......
If you end up in TGI/Bugels, check out the Outlet store on the main street, excellent products for dirt cheap prices.
Thanks guys. Will see how I go with those idea's. Hopefully not to much traffic to get into town. Does anyone know of any good markets, where the expat does not lose all his money ie get ripped off. I expect some increased prices, but is there somewhere that is reasonable? Any other club/dinner ideas welcome.
If you really want to slum it there is always the ubiquitous Blok M, Jl Falatehan. I actually enjoy it down there when the wife lets me out to play. Generally a good crowd of people around but can be quiet mid week.
'Proper' bars as opposed to the hotel type 'clubs'.
Ah, Jalan Fellatio, one of the joys of Jakarta. Sportsman's Bar for cold beer and pizza to start the evening off and then down the street for whatever delights are on offer... magnificent.
Have just been to Jakarta for 2 nights and was taken to a new restaurant (well, new to me anyway) called Cassis, in the Pavilion Apartment Retail Compleks, Jl KH Mas Mansyur. It's the road that runs just behind Sudirman, turn off at the Meridien hotel. Top French nosh, food prices OK, wine list had some eyewateringly expensive bottles but house wines perfectly acceptable at around 35 quid.
