Stadium
The big daddy of Jakarta’s scene, this club has the heritage (established in 1997), the reputation (DJs including Sasha and Dave Seaman have spun here), the capacity (around 4000), the sound system and the crowd. There are four levels, but the main room is where the prime dance-floor action is – a dark, cavernous space of pounding beats full of clubbers in sunglasses. This ain’t no disco – alcohol is not the drug of choice, and Stadium has a distinctly underground vibe. Its weekend session is totally hardcore – beginning on Thursday evening and running until Monday morning.

M Club
On the edge of town, this warehouse club is one of biggest in Sulawesi. The music is tech-no prisoners and the lighting strobe-heavy, but if you want the Makassar experience, this is an essential stop. Foreigners often get in free. It's on the east side of town - all taxi drivers know the place. A taxi there should cost about Rp25,000.

Hard Rock Cafe
A merchandising outlet disguised as a nightclub, the sprawling Hard Rock fronts the beach and is a magnet for local yuppies. It gets going after 23:00, when a (usually) slick band plays classic rock covers. It's also a venue for occasional overseas artists such as Deviate from the Philippines.

Hanoman's Forest Restaurant Wayang Performance
Hanoman's has been hosting various wayang performances for years, but at the time of research it had closed its doors due to a lack of interest. This may change if tourist numbers pick up again.

Colors
Housed in the old Benteng Theatre, this is currently the 'in' club in town. DJs and bands from Jakarta, ladies night on Wednesday and expensive drinks all round, this is where the hipsters hang out.

Braga Disco
Like anywhere in the world, Bandung's youth love to get out on the dance floor and shake it up. Just off Jl Braga, Braga Disco is a safe bet for loud music, dark corners and people-watching.

Café Gamelan
With outdoor seating, constant entertainment from busy Jl Slamet Riyadi, and staff willing to sit and chat a while, Gamelan is a good bet for a beer in the evenings. Just avoid the food.
