Is a 150k beer at Golden Tiger Club in PIK a total rip-off? This article weighs the shocking price against the "Mantap" experience inside. Discover a club with lavish decor, a top-notch sound system that will get your heart pounding, and an electric dance floor atmosphere. While it’s not for a casual chat, if you're seeking a high-energy party spot with skilled DJs and a vibrant crowd, this place might just be worth the splurge.
Honestly, after being in Jakarta for so long, I've been to a fair share of nightclubs, but this time at Golden Tiger Club in PIK, the experience was a bit surreal.
I was stopped right at the door and told I had to buy a drink before I could enter. Alright, standard procedure. So I ordered the most basic can of Bintang beer, and when the bill came, it was 150,000 Indonesian Rupiah[1]?! Anjay! I wanted to turn around and leave right then and there. They also asked for my name and phone number for"data collection"[2], which was a pretty confusing move.
Turns out, it was amazing once I got inside
I went in with a"might as well since I'm already here" attitude, and the frustration from a second ago instantly vanished. This place is so lit! The decor is all about that opulent, lavish style, and with the lighting, any casual snapshot looks amazing.
But what really got me hooked was their sound system, Mantap! It's truly top-notch, and the feeling of the beat pounding in your chest is absolutely exhilarating[3]! The DJ is also super skilled, playing all the hit tracks that the whole crowd can sing along to. The energy on the dance floor never died down from start to finish. There are plenty of good-looking guys and girls too, everyone knows how to have a good time, the atmosphere is very Chill, and it's a great spot if you want to meet new people[4].
The cocktails we ordered later were on point with both their looks and taste. Watching the bartender's smooth, effortless moves was a treat in itself[5]. All in all, if you're here for some serious clubbing, the atmosphere here is definitely worth the price of admission.
So, is it worth it?
Back to that heart-stopping price. To be fair, it's definitely not cheap here. Besides the sky-high price for beer, other drinks also come with a service charge, so it'll hurt your wallet a bit if you're on a budget[6]. It's not the kind of place where you can just casually sit down to Nongkrong and chat with friends. This is purely a party venue.
Tips for your visit, you're welcome!
For the girls who want to check it out, here are a few key points:
- 1. Book in advance: It gets super crowded on weekends, so if you plan to go, it's best to book a spot in advance through the Holywings App or their official WA[7], otherwise, you probably won't get a table.
- 2. Know your purpose: If you have the budget and you're looking for a place with a killer sound system, great vibes, and where you can dance your heart out, then go for it without a second thought. If you're just looking for a place to drink and chat, then you can skip this one.
- 3. Follow the DJs: This place is under the Holywings group, and they often invite big-name DJs like Winky Wiryawan[8], so you can check their IG often, pick a night with a DJ you like, and your experience will be twice as good
- First, 150k IDR beer [1] shocked me. Thought it was a rip-off, but it totally won me over. What's the magic?
- The top-tier sound system [2] is insane! Bass pounds your chest, making you forget everything and just dance.
- As Holywings, it features opulent decor, big-name DJs [3], and a hot crowd. The vibe is high-octane from start to finish [4]!
