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.

Seafood Warungs - Mega Mall
Hidden behind the massive Mega Mall on Jl Piere Tendean is an excellent stretch of seafood warungs that kicks off every night. The price, variety and sunsets are unbeatable. Not all serve alcohol, so shop around if you are in the market for a drink with dinner.

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.

Dolphin Donats
Almost opposite the Green Garden, this place predictably specialises in doughnuts and cakes, but there's a surprisingly large range of Indonesian, Chinese and Western food, such as steaks and burgers. Staff are friendly and service is swift.

Rumah Makan Green Garden
This Chinese-Indonesian restaurant is popular for its lengthy seafood menu. However, the seafood's not fresh but frozen, which is a tad disappointing. There are also lots of cheap noodle-based dishes which make a good lunch or snack.
