Jakarta Nightlife Top 10 Best Bars & Clubs 2010

Ranking of Jakarta's Best Bars & Nightclubs for 2010.

1) Stadium (71 points)
Stadium may be a shit-hole for many people, but it is the craziest club in Jakarta and it is absolutely unique. It remains Jakarta's best club for 2010.

2) Dragonfly (59 points)
2009 was a huge year for Dragonfly, it hosted a dozens of the best international DJs (almost twice a month), making it one of the best clubs in Asia without any doubt. Dragonfly was the trendsetter for all of Jakarta nightlife, raising the bar really high for any competitors.

3) Red Square (56 points)
Maybe the most packed club in Jakarta, and the most popular with young expats. I have friends coming from Hong-Kong and Singapour only to spend their whole weekend in Red Square!

4) Blowfish (54 points)
Still strong, the sister club of Dragonfly is a hub for Jakarta's socialites and drew many great DJs in 2009: Grandmaster Flash, James Zabiela, Tiga and Erol Alkan to name a few..

5) Immigrant (45 points)
Immigrant was the biggest surprise of 2009: An truly beautiful club with a great design and an upmarket, cosmopolitan atmosphere, with an amazing view of Jakarta by night.

6) X2 (43 points)
X2 remains huge, drawing each week, more than 5000 clubbers inside its 4 clubs for Jakarta's biggest parties. 2009 highlights included Dirty South and Sander Kleinenberg!

7) Club 36 (42 points)
Kota's most popular strip club is always full, any day of the week, any time of the night..

8) Hotel Alexis (36 points)
Another naughty joint, Alexis Hotel is the next generation of Kota's one-stop entertainment nightclubs: Luxurious, international (and not only in the name) and.... mischievous!

9) Centro (34 points)
Opened 6 years ago, an eternity in the fast-changing Jakarta nightlife scene, Centro has a large and loyal fanbase, and since Embassy's closure, it is home to the city's most talentuous DJs.

10) BATS (29 points)
BATS is a myth in Jakarta, even when you want to avoid it, there's always a friend to drag you there. It is still a fun place to party though, with a dancefloor full everyday of the week.
