Entertainment in Sulawesi

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.

Ha Ha Café
The leading club in town, this place is on the top floor of the Mega Mall. It is so vast that it looks like an aircraft hangar and only really fills up on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Once the smuggled flasks of Cap Tikus are drained, the crowds loosen up and mob the dance floor.

Ballairate Sunset Bar
Built on stilts over the sea, this is the best located bar in town. Walk right through the hotel to discover draft Bintang by the pitcher and a perfect view of the sunset. Sundays are a bad idea as the Makassar jet-ski crowd strut their stuff on the water here.

Corner
A couple of floors above Styx, this is a huge sports bar, but it is pretty quiet during the week, only picking up late on Saturdays. Bands from Jakarta sometimes play here and attract a cover charge of Rp25,000 or more. A glass of Bintang costs Rp25,000.

Pharos
Another Egyptian-themed club, which were all the rage in Asia a few years ago, this place is a veritable labyrinth. Wander through the video arcade and a maze of corridors and you'll find yourself in the hard house world of the new Indonesia.

On the corner opposite the Losari Beach Hotel, this outdoor beer garden features live bands and the drinks flow. They also have a pretty extensive menu of food for those wanting entertainment while they eat.

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.

Gacho
One of the best of the pool bars, just south of Mega Mall. Pitchers of Bintang are steep at almost Rp100,000, probably to help subsidise the live band.

Botol Cafe
By far the most popular of the hotel nightclubs, this is tucked away rather uninvitingly in the basement car park.
