Nebula is the newest nightclub in Jakarta. It is opening on June 6th and it is owned by the Stadium group (which closed only 2 weeks ago). The group is also behind the bordellos Malioboro and King Cross, and the normal club Exodus. I think Nebula will be a mix between both types, trying to catch the normal crowd, but also with a sexy side (dancers, karaoke, etc....).
I won't be able to go to the opening as I am currently in Bali, but I'm pretty excited to visit it as soon as I will be back in Jakarta.
On their facebook and twitter page, they advertise Nebula as the biggest nightclub in Jakarta. Please let me know your feedback if you visit it by email thibaud@jakarta100bars.com or by posting a comment on this post. Thanks!

Nebula used to be an independent club. Here are some pictures of how it looked like inside before it changed management:

TL; DR - I will probably not visit again
ReplyDeleteFull Review: I visited Nebula on the opening night, Friday Jun 6, 2014, and did not like it very much. Here are the good points first. The sound system and light show was cool. The setup is similar to Collesium and is round with a DJ booth and stage for the staff dancers or fashion show that is taking place. The women at the club seemed to be normal, meaning not hookers, and we're dressed generally well as you would expect in higher end clubs in jakarta. The air conditioning was adequate. Now for the bad. There is no real dance floor, just the area around the stage in the middle of the bar. It was actually quite annoying as the place is essentially setup as a place to get bottle service and listen to a DJ. Nebula does not seem like a good place to meet people due to the bottle service setup. I'd recommend only goin with some friends, not alone. Also, you cannot order a glass of alcohol meaning you can't get a whiskey on the rocks or anything like that. The place is bottle service only. You cannot get a glass of wine, full bottles only. They have a decent yet limited beer selection, sorry no bintang. Guinness was 40k. Bottles of alcohol started at 650k for a 75club bottle and went up from there. The finger food consists of French fries, chicken wings, and Kalahari. The fries and wings were tasty. The service was terribly slow, even by jakarta standards. The men's bathroom was disgusting. One sink was clogged with vomit, the stalls were filthy, and the bathroom seemed to double as the storage room for the mops and buckets. Just an fyi, the exit is not clearly marked so it was difficult to leave under normal circumstances, however since the floor plan is round you'll find it eventually. Finally, the location is remote compared to other places in Jakarta so that was just the final thing that made it not worth a return visit. Like I said the Air conditioning is adequate but that's only because you can't really dance. If you like Collesium you'll probably like Nebula. If you don't like Collesium (I didn't) you probably won't like Nebula either. Let me know what you guys think.
Hi Anonymous, thanks a lot for the review! I'll go there when I'm in Jakarta to tell you if i agree!
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of those middle class sexpats who are nothing in their home country but come here to pollute the Indonesian nightlife.
ReplyDeleteIf someone can post the full name of this Thibaud idiot or passport/kitas number so I can have him deported...?
Thank you in advance...
Wtf happen to this guy... oh I am Indonesin btw but not a moron
DeleteNot cool bruh.
DeleteHi Anonymous, please send me a message thibaud@jakarta100bars.com and I would be happy to give you my real name.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr.anonymous, Thibaud is the Founder of this website that seems to be astonishingly helpful to thousands of "Sexpats" so I suggest you take your no name self and visit a psychiatrist or something buddy.
ReplyDeleteCheers
just for clarification the 'anonymous' who posted the review of nebula and the 'anonymous' who is being a moron to Thibaud are not the same person. I'll keep sending reviews of places I've been. I'll pick a user name at some point. keep up the good work Thibaud!
ReplyDeleteAre party favors available at this location?
ReplyDeleteWell said Mike!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat do I need to pass the gate? Is there any gate?
ReplyDeleteIt's a club, not Game of Throne...
DeleteAnd u must be referring to Bloody Gate of Vale. LoL
DeleteHahahahaaha
DeleteBen
i heard the man shall climb the wall.. wear your coat buddy
Deleteis this also open weekdays ?? .. or is there a club what also crowded on weekdays .. like stadium before
ReplyDeleteThere is a better place close by and just next to Taman Anggrek mall--its called BFashion Hotel. It is like a mini version of Stadium without the losers. They have karaoke, spa, and lounge plus a hotel. Take a look you wont be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteAnd whats so special about Bfashion hotel? Got more specific info?
ReplyDeleteIt has "Fashion" in the name so it must be better
DeleteNebula Club & Resto opens 7 days a week. The restaurant opens from 17.00 - 22.00 and the club starts from 22.00 till close. Nebula has restaurant, club and KTV. Any kinds of party favor are welcomed (eg. birthday, bachelor/bachelorette party, gathering, after wedding party, you name it).
ReplyDeleteNebula is under the Stadium group management which is also manage Exodus club, dine and lounge in the Kuningan area. We are different from Exodus though in terms of pricing wise, concept and customer target market but you will get the same experience which is good and fun time :)
As for comparison with BFashion in Taman Anggrek, well.... we are totally different from them, just check us out and you will get what we meant
Another info...if you want to come to Nebula, easy access is to park your car directly at P13 blitzmegaplex area, or park your car on LGM and take the lift to P13. If at the end of the night you are having too much to drink, don't worry as Nebula provides valet and they will drive your car safely down while you can just take the lift and meet down stair.
ReplyDeleteCheers :)
What about the prices if i wanna make a birthday party here ? answ pls
DeleteThx
i was there last night. they had a halloween celebration featuring DJ Yasmin and i came just when she's about to spin.
ReplyDeletethe sound system is good, my friend said they just installed the sound system that used to be in stadium. i enjoyed it but one of my friend said the music was too loud. you can dance anywhere since like the previous reviewer said, there's no real dance floor. but the best spot to dance is right in front of the DJ table.
i can say the crowd mostly is on their early 20, many chinese (since it's west jakarta). only saw ONE expat the whole night, which made my friend upset.
the girls were pretty, but not really sure about the boys. for girls, this probably not the best place to meet someone. and it seems like everyone came in a group, and you better be-especially when you're dancing. last night there's one stubborn guy who won't leave me alone and it really ruined my mood. thank god my friend is near enough to pull me over.
and yes they have lasers, but the lightning is a bit too light for me. i can see everyone's faces clearly and i don't like that. i think they should dim the lights a bit more.
the women's bathroom is quite clean. there's one cleaning staff standing by. final word, there's 20% chance for me to come again
how about the prizes when enter nebula?
ReplyDeleteIs there any place like stadium in point of the music? I miss that progressive house and trance as it was played everyday in stadium by famous DJ bobby suryadi and his crew
ReplyDeleteI went there last saturday, it was half full/half empty, the music is the same as X2 and the crow is exclusively indo and young. No expat/foreigners at all
ReplyDeleteSo which one is better, x2 or nebula?
ReplyDeleteX2= Many expatriates and ayam
DeleteNebula = More local crowd
Nebula is also less busy and smaller.
Does Nebula have ayam also? Like Golden Crown?
ReplyDeleteThey have girls in the karaoke that you can take in the club... but not many freelancers...
Deletehey guys - where should one go if you are staying in central park for a cool night out (weekday)?
ReplyDeletethanks
You have to go in Sudirman area I think... on a Wednesday Immigrant and Dragonfly are good but it also depends what you are looking...
DeleteI've passed nebula so many times and never knew what it was... tempted to call my CP friends and check it out.
ReplyDeleteNo ayam club, less expats, sounds perfect.
