Jenja (Jakarta)

Jenja nightclub will open in Jakarta in Cilandak Town Square (CiToS), most likely after Lebaran 2016. 

It will be their second branch after Bali, where Jenja is currently one of the best nightclubs. On the island, it is popular with expats, particularly because of the music they play (German electro, see 12 DJs I Want To See in Jakarta). Their design is nice as well but it is not the main reason for their success.

I wish them success in Jakarta. If they can make it work here, it could encourage other nightclubs to play something else than non-stop commercial EDM/Rn'B.

I'm a bit skeptical about their location though. To be successful, they will need a trendy crowd that Cilandak may not have. You have expats and rich Indonesians, but mostly families. I wonder if the people who currently party in SCBD/Mega Kuningan will accept to drive 30 minutes to Cilandak. Or maybe I'm underestimating the clubbing crowd in South Jakarta?

We will know the answer soon. Please leave a comment if you have more information about their concept and opening date!
