Dragonfly

The Dragonfly night club underwent some renovations about 2 years ago. It is much bigger than the old one since the restaurant disappeared, but there is almost no dancefloor. Good music, good crowd (lots of socialites, models, actresses), but pricey. You can expect to pay 80 to 100 thousand rupiah for a drink. To enjoy the place, I think it's better to book a table in advance because there won't be much room to dance otherwise.. Dress well also, because you might not get in if you are wearing a t-shirt and used jeans. You will see Indonesian girls take the dress code very seriously, and most of them are dressed with glamour, fashion-designer clothes and plenty of make-up.

It is best on wednesdays. They also have international DJs quite frequently, and not the worst: David Guetta, Dubfire, Steve Angello and Ingrosso to name a few went there. It is quite similar to Blowfish, owned by the same guy anyway, but there aren't so many Chinese people, there are more expats and executives and they play less RnB stuff. Always crowded, it is one of the most popular club in Jakarta nightlife and one you have to check while being in the capital if you like clubs with international standings. You can meet girls there also, but you will find them to be a bit cold. If you find a pretty one you fancy, your best options if you're not Brad Pitt is to try to hook up with her group of friends first (especially the gay ones) and then, once you're accepted, try to make good impression and get her phone number (don't aim to high, one step at a time). Don't forget to say you work in investment banking!

Waiters take ages to give back your change and seem to expect you to give them huge tips, as if 130,000 rp for a cocktail was not enough... be patient!
