Starmoon Café, Massage and Bar is a prostitution place located in the red light district of Kota Indah . Nearby hotels include Ibis Mangga Dua , Best Western Mangga Dua , Le Grandeur and Orchardz (also a bordello actually). The owner of Star Moon was the owner of several joints in the now-closed Kalijodo area (Mona Lisa, River Citra, etc). Many of the girls used to work there actually, which would indicate that contrary to what Ahok promised, they haven't been successfully rehabilitated.
Famous massage parlour in Hotel Melawai I , popular with expats (I swear I never went to this place!!). It is located on its 6th floor and called Maribaya bar. I'm not sure it’s even a bar, more likely a pure bordello. Some reports that a guy spent a whole week in it, without seeing daylight. Maribaya Bar 6th Floor Hotel Melawai I (35$ per night) South Jakarta
Su is one of the largest karaokes in South Jakarta. It is located in STC Senayan on the 5th floor (the now-closed Hyu Karaoke was on the 7th floor). It targets mostly Korean customers. It is clean and modern, but not as luxurious as other karaokes like Paragon . The main attraction here are the 150 girls that can accompany you in your room while you sing. In particular, if you ask for 2 or more LCs (Lady Companion), you can request them to wear a kimono or sexy lingerie. They won't have any bras then. Depending on how much you tip the girls or how drunk they are, you may do some kissing and groping. Some girls may be willing to go home with you after they finish their work but it's not automatic. Most are looking for a boyfriend or at least a sugar daddy.
In 10 years in Jakarta, I had never been to Tanjung Priok at night. For those who don't know, Tanjung Priok is located in the extreme North of the city and it is home to the city's main harbour. It is not a very recommended area to hangout. Don't bring your girlfriend here on a date. Anyway, we were actually planning to go to Senen from Kelapa Gading, but our taxi driver was tricky and he tried to extend our journey (and fare) with him. My friend looked at his GPS and it was clear that we were completely off-track, going North West instead of going South East. We started to argue and after a little fight with him, he dropped us off at the corner of Jalan Laksamana Yos Sudarso and Jalan Raya Enggano.
Popular Mansion is a bar and nightclub located on Jalan Gatot Subroto, not far from Dragonfly Club . It is owned by the company who published Popular Magazine, a male magazine similar to FHM. In case you don't know, many models in such magazines in Indonesia are very sweet and friendly, yet borderline prostitutes. If you flash your money around them, you have a big chance of getting a date and probably more. The cost is very high though as you will compete with some Indonesians loaded with cash and who are ready to spend hundreds of millions to satisfy their egos. They are actually mostly looking for rich boyfriends/husbands/sugar daddies, not one-night stands.
Little Tokyo is not the name of a bar, it is the name of an area of south Jakarta with a lot of Japanese massage parlours, karaoke and other sleazy sex places. It is not limited to the south, but 90% of this places can be easily found in Jalan Melawai VI and VIII. The opening hours are not very late, from 6pm to 1 or 2 am.
Small nightclub and karaoke in Pecenongan (North Jakarta) with a Formula 1 theme. They have live music or DJs, usually with progressive house. You can request a lady companion while you drink. There is no entrance fee and it's free to sit at a table. If you want a VIP sofa you must spend a minimum of 7,5M. They also have sexy dancers (topless) occasionally. Overall : It's a middle class venue for Indonesians so you can expect cheaper prices and average standards. The crowd is underground, including many clubbers on drugs. They organize Sunday parties in the afternoon from 1pm to 8pm. Similar to Mille's in Lokasari.
Would you believe that in pious Indonesia, a massage parlour called Blow'Art, specializing in blowjobs has just opened? This country never ceases to amaze me. It took me 10 minutes to realize that it was not a joke and that this place actually exists in Tangerang, 1 hour away from South Jakarta. So what can you expect in a massage parlour called "The Art of Fellatio"? From reports I've read online, you have plus plus massages, handjobs, and blowjob finishings. Sometimes a blow is all you need
Update 2 January 2017: There was a fire in Paragon Hotel and it is closed at the moment. The Grand Paragon is a complex located on Jalan Gadjah Mada, opposite to Illigals . It is mostly famous for having one of Jakarta's most popular naughty luxury karaokes. It is similar with Malioboro , Sun City or Alexis .
Newtown is a new luxury "Executive Club" with a lounge and a karaoke. It is located in the red-light district of Lokasari, just next to Mille's . At the moment it is still quiet and the customers are almost all locals. There are many hostesses and girls companions hanging out in the lounge, where you have naked girl striptease in the evening.
Marimba "Diskotik" is a 100% local night club located in Central Jakarta. Due to the traffic in the area, it could take you more than one hour to reach it from Jalan Sudirman. Marimba is part of Sentral, a 4-star hotel heavily dependent on government officials on seminars and training. Surprisingly, all these people working for the government have not noticed that there is a club popular with recreational drug users and prostitutes in the same building they are sleeping in.
Bandara is a multi-storey one-stop-entertainment complex featuring a club, a lounge, a karaoke a bar, and a massage parlour. It is huge and it targets middle-class Indonesians. Still very few foreigners go there as it is not located in a central area. It is similar with nearby Top 1, and with Hotel Classic and Hotel Travel. Bandara Club & Karaoke Jalan Daan Mogot Ruko Aldiron Plaza in Kebon Jeruk West Jakarta Phone number: +62-21 5696 9914
Top 1 is a huge bordello near Taman Anggrek, similar with Hotel Travel or Classic (but cheaper). Top 1 Club and Massage Jalan Daan Mogot 1, Jakarta Near Kebon Jeruk/Taman Anggrek Phone number: +62 (0) 877 7206 7786
New Medika is a girlie club/bar/massage parlour located in Daan Mogot, about 10 minutes from Taman Anggrek. It is medium class, with almost no foreign visitors. New Medika Jl. Daan Mogot I 27-33, Jakarta 11470 Phone number +62-21 568 2610 (Behind Citra Land Mall)
In the same building as Sumo (same owner) and near MTR/MTR2, in Kelapa Gading, King Cross’s striptease joint is currently one of the hottest clubs in Jakarta. There are a lot of nude dancers there, maybe 30 every night from 8pm to 3am non-stop. The girls will also play with the clients in exchange for “ladies drinks”: The more you buy them, the more you get, from topless to full nude dancing (you need to pay 5 drinks for that at Rp. 50,000 each). On top of dancing, the girls usually do some erotic live performance on stage as well. There is a live band in the third floor starting 8pm, a massage parlour on the second, and the lounge on the first. Sexy shows are on the 1st and 3rd floor. King Cross Kelapa Gading Striptease bar (it replaced the Medika club) Komplek KOKAN Permata Kelapa Gading Blok C no. 9-12A, 33-37 Jalan Boulevard Bukit Gading Raya Kelapa Gading Jakarta
Very interesting opening this year with the new Colosseum Club, which used to be part of K7 and is now managed by the same group behind Alexis hotel and Emporium Spa . Colosseum is actually the relocation of the 1001 , which closed two years ago and was replaced by Illigals ... Still following? I went to Colosseum a few years ago and it was unfortunately a dying club (see my review here ). Too bad because the place was really massive (2,000 persons capacity), one of the biggest in Jakarta and it has a huge potential. With the new management, we can expect the place to become really popular: The music is now retro and house, with good sound system and spectacular lighting show. Being a part of Alexis group, it goes without saying that they have sexy dancers, fashion shows, and rooms...
Update: Red Square in Senayan Arcadia is currently CLOSED. The management has re-opened in Panin Tower (see Red Square Jakarta 2016 ). Meanwhile, some of the previous owners have opened a new bar called Revolution in Lotte Avenue Mall (Ciputra World). Red Square is one of the most popular bars in Jakarta for foreigners, and for many, it is the only place they go to for party in the city. Extremely busy on Friday and Saturday, it is so crowded that it is best to book a private table if you want to avoid suffocation. On other nights, it varies a lot: Thursday can be quite good, but from Sunday to Wednesday, it is empty the more often. If you are a single, male expat looking to score with "normal" girls, this might be the most easy spot in Jakarta. Most girls aren't prostitutes (but more and more are), yet they are hunting foreigners with a lot of energy. This is probably why Red Square is so famous and popular. The other reasons could be the sexy dancers on special
