Small in size but touristy, Solo or Surakarta is often considered the little sister of Yogyakarta. I was in the city to visit a French friend who lived there for 8 years. He showed me the nightlife on a Friday and a Saturday night. Guest-Friendly Hotels in Solo.
This small club is probably the most happening in Solo among young people and students. It is rather big, on two floors, with also a karaoke and an outdoor area. The attached restaurant is only ok for a snack or to hangout, don't expect great food. They have at least a weekly special event such as a guest DJ from Jakarta, sexy dancers or a live band.
There may be an entrance fee around Rp50, on busy days. Girls enter for free. Campus night on Monday. It had been raided by thugs from an Islamist vigilante group and the closure might be related to this incident. One of the best karaokes in Solo with many hot girls. Pricier than average. Jalan Ir. Soekarno, Solo Baru. Musro Solo Music Room. It is more male-oriented and older than Social Lounge. The place is small and does not really feel high class. If you are lucky you will see sexy dancers.
The entrance is usually free unless there is a special event. Ladies night on Wednesday. Open from 6pm to 2am from Monday to Saturday. You might also have heard about Hailai International Executive Club.
It is now closed and replaced by the Adhiwangsa hotel. Best Bars and Beer Gardens in Solo. It was really packed when we visited. I was surprised to see that even girls wearing the jilbab were among the guests. You can smoke shisha as well. Beware the music is loud and the place smokey.
