  3. Classic Rock Café

    For those about to rock – don your denim ’n’ leather and head here. The whole place reeks of 1970s nostalgia, but try telling the regulars that the world has moved on. There’s a live rock band nightly at 10pm and a modest (or no) entrance fee.

    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.
