Jakarta is a city that never sleeps, at least until the wee hours, with night spots pulsating to the rhythm of the night life. As Jakarta comes alive in a blaze of multi-colored lights when the night falls, there is always something to keep you entertained.

    Hundreds of karaoke lounges, pubs with live bands and jazz, discos, bars, lounges, night clubs ranging from the sleazy ones to the refined ones can be found throughout the city. Lounges and bars, frequently found within the larger hotels, are active at night. Although somewhat expensive, most lounges and bars usually have live entertainment on a nightly basis. Performances and styles range from jazz to piano acts and popular music.

Clubs playing techno, classic disco, retro, R&B, Hip Hop music are mainly concentrated in Central and South Jakarta, with some in West Jakarta. These clubs usually begin to warm up around midnight, and peak around 1-2am. Since some clubs are open for 24 hours during the weekend, it is not an unusual sight to see people leaving the clubs after the sun rises!

If dancing and partying is not your preference, try to visit the karaoke lounges that are located in Central and North Jakarta. You can also kick back with your colleagues or spend a romantic evening with your loved one zipping wine. Nowadays, wine bars can be found easily in Jakarta. Although the price of wine is considerably high due to high government tax imposed, these wine bars are usually packed with wine lovers, especially during the weekend.
