JAKARTA -- area code (62-21)

Popular Spots

    Most popular clubs and discos in Jakarta are places to meet gay people. Be advised that nightclubs may close during the Ramadan holy month.

Bars and Clubs

    • Comedy Café Indonesia (mixed)
        G/F 06 Pasar Festival, Jln HR Rasuna Said, Kuningan. Popular hangout for gays where they may socialize freely. Many gay staff (chubs mostly). Lots of local celebs.

        Comments from Utopians:

        "I love to recomend the Comedy Café Indonesia as the best meeting point for gay chubbies and chasers and lesbians. I met my love there and we are regular guests. They have a larger venue now and so many cute people hanging around in there. It is also near the Pasar Festival Swimming Pool and Gym which are well known gay meeting points. Sat and Sun I saw many lesbians in the crowd. Foreigners and staff from the embassies also like this place." -- pogi, Apr 11, 2007

        "Heaven is now an openly gay club. Manager, Tino, is very friendly and informative." -- Dede, May 20, 2006

        Comments from Utopians:

        "Go on the weekends for best chance to meet other gays (it's a mixed club). Cover charge is R$80,000 and includes the first drink." -- bond007, Jun 21, 2007


Discos

    • Jeje
        Disco and pub which is popular with gays.
    • Moonlight (mixed)
        120 Jln Hayam Wuruk (at Olimo, next to Suisse Bakery, on the corner of Hayam Wuruk St and Mangga Besar St), Jakarta Pusat, 625-2162. Small and fun disco, but definitely not upscale. Young gays and lesbians on Wed, Fri and Sat nights. Dark spaces to sit and cruise. Beware of hustlers.

        Comments from Utopians:

        "Normally Moonlight is known as second rate and dirty (which it is to some extent), but in all fairness I've only had good times here. Many cute ladyboys and gay guys. Of course it's always wise to be cautious, but I recommend Moonlight." -- hankhavelock, Jul 21, 2007

        "Cover charge is R$20,000. Be extra careful when picking someone up. Find out more about that person before making any serious move -- there are MBs in the crowd." -- bond007, Jun 21, 2007

    • Stadium (mixed)
        Just off Jln Hayam Wuruk, Kota (just up from the Moonlight Discotheque). This mixed disco which is somewhat popular on Fri and Sat nights. Music is techno. Gay men should be discrete as the management is not tolerant of open displays of affection. Very drug-oriented according to reports from visitors and lots of female hookers who staff will try to introduce you to.
