Hi all,
I'm going to be in Jakarta from 5/22-5/25, and would like to try to catch the Champions League final (scheduled for 5/24 at 1:45 AM local time) somewhere other than my hotel room...
Any thoughts/suggestions on decent pubs / sports bars that will be showing the game and might have a fair amount of people watching?
Much appreciated,
Mark


where is your hotel?
score in south jakarta is havin a big nite with live music and stuff. popular with indonesians
front row is a more central american franchise type place
or keep your eye on jakarta nite out

Aphrodite in Rasuna Said (Kuningan) is also nice and has a few TVs, though there may be competition with Aussie footy.
Crossroads in Dharmwangsa Square is a smaller place with 2 good screens now I think. Friendly.
Some of the 5 star hotels have big screens but their beer is expensive.
Several pubs in Blok M (Jalan Falatahan) are OK. Sportsman has lots of regular size TVs scattered round the 2 bars. Everest has a huge projection screen. Others in the street may have it too, e.g. One Tree.
As #1 says, it would be easier to advise if you said which area you will be in.

hmmm, hadn't actually got that far - travelling across java right now and was planning on figuring it out closer to the time. but just had a look in the guidebook and seems like i'll probably end up somewhere around jalan jaksa, unless you guys would advise otherwise...
thanks a bunch
