One of the long-standing fixtures of the Jakarta nightlife scene, TIGA PULUH at the Le Meridien Jakarta, is an upscale nightclub and lounge with live music as the centre-piece of its entertainment attraction. Talented local bands nightly play an exuberant, up-tempo mix of songs to energize the room, and resident DJs keep the music happening when the bands are taking breaks. The main Music Bar is complimented by the quieter, chill-out area of the Lounge, which is positioned in a open space between the entrance and the inner room. Open 7 days a week, TIGA PULUH enjoys an enduring popularity with both hotel guests, and local and expat residents of Jakarta- always a good option for those looking for a fun destination to enjoy late night drinks, live music, and dancing. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, and the staff have a helpful, friendly disposition.
The Le Meridien Jakarta is conveniently located in the central business and shopping district of Jakarta, and has long been one of the leading luxury hotels of Jakarta.
The entrance to TIGA PULUH is from the hotel lobby level, down a dedicated set of escalators to the lower level room. The Lounge section is encountered first at the foot of the escalators, with a stylish interior design of muted colours, timber panelled walls and comfortable sofa seating. A large, all glass wine cellar showcases the extensive wine selection, and at one end of the Lounge, a long curved bar counter exudes a soft orange glow. Separated from the inner Music Bar by solid double doors, the Lounge is a quiet space for conversations, catching up with sports action on the large LCD screen, or maybe a game of pool.

The main inner room that holds the Music Bar has an intimate scale to its dimensions that does not require huge numbers of patrons to give it a sense of buzz. The layout is dominated by the large band stage that protrudes into the centre of the space, and is wrapped around on three sides by a long timber bar counter, faced with leather upholstered seats that give customers a close up experience of the bands on the stage. Bartenders behind the bar work from a sunken floor level so as not to obstruct the view of the seated guests. The bar seats are the prime position in TIGA PULUH and are always the first to be occupied.
Around the perimeter of the room are a number of discrete seating areas with black leather lounges and low tables.
The local bands perform nightly until late in the night, with a resident DJ filling in during breaks. Special thematic events are held every fortnight and publicised on the hotel’s Facebook Page. At TIGA PULUH, Ladies Night happens twice a week- on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the Happy Hour promotion of 50% off between 6pm and 9pm applies every night except Sunday.
