2024 Bali, Indonesia nightlife red light district guide, every bar has prostitutes

The red-light district of Bali, Indonesia. The nightlife in this area is very prosperous, with numerous bars, nightclubs and massage parlors. Most of the female practitioners here come from poor families and they seek a better life here. Although the Bali government has tried to ban the red-light district, this area still exists due to huge economic benefits.

1. Sky Garden



The famous Kuta Sky Garden has at least 5 different rooms, each with a different vibe and crowd. For example: - The rooftop (old school music) is popular with older people - The huge Skydome attracts mostly Indonesian guests, who are big name EDM DJs - The R’n’B room has the most hookers and the drunkest clubbers.

Entrance fee is IDR115,000 from 5pm to 9pm with free buffet and drinks. IDR150,000 after (entrance + 1 drink voucher).

Male to female ratio: 70% males and 30% females Percentage of hookers: about 25% Male crowd: Australian Tourists, western backpackers, Asian and Indonesian tourists, gays Female crowd: Western tourists, Indonesian tourists and hookers Customer age: 18-35 years Picking likelihood: High Dress code: Holiday (shorts, flip flops). Well-dressed girls can enter for free from 9pm to 11pm.

Nearby SkyGarden, Vi Ai Pi and Eikon are also worth recommending. If you want to meet drunk, low-class Australian girls, you can check out Bounty, Paddy’s Pub and Engine Room.

2. La Favela



La Favela is the sky garden in Seminyak. It is by far the busiest bar and a good bar to meet beautiful ladies. Don't visit it too early as it is also a restaurant. After midnight the small dance floor gets thick and heaving and things get more interesting. The music is mainstream, basically top 40 hits from the last 30 years.

Free entry. Gender ratio: 55% men and 45% women Percentage of prostitutes: about 10% Male crowd: Western tourists and expats Female crowd: Western tourists and expats Age of clientele: 25-40 Likelihood of being picked: High Dress code: Chic holiday attire (they enforce a strict ticket policy if there is a queue)

3. Ruby



This nightclub has an underground vibe, perfect for expats and girls trying to meet them. The latter include regular girls, but also professional girlfriends and hookers. Electronic music most nights. It closes late, so you can consider this your last chance to score before going home. Free entry before 11:30pm. FDC 150k after.

Gender ratio: 70% men and 30% girls Percentage of hookers: less than 30% Male crowd: European Female crowd: Indonesian Age of customers: 25-45 years Selection possibilities: good, but beware of the many hookers. Dress code: formal

4. Mexican Motel



Motel Mexicola is one of Seminyak's liveliest bars, with a weeknight presence. Perhaps because of its Mexican theme, it attracts women, mostly Australians and Indonesians. To maximize your chances, I recommend sitting at one of the communal picnic tables in the main room. There, you'll never be too far from a group of women sipping margaritas.

Free entry. Gender ratio: 40% men and 60% women Percentage of prostitutes: Less than 10% Male crowd: Australian Female crowd: Australian, Indonesian Customer age: 20-45 Likelihood of being picked: Average Dress code: Holiday

5. Red Carpet Champagne Lounge



Located opposite La Favela, the Red Carpet Champagne Lounge is a hangout for men interested in older women (over 40). The place is often full and the tables are very close to each other, so it's easy to make friends with your neighbors. Despite its name, Red Carpet isn't very posh: it's laid-back, almost decadent. A great place to get drunk!

Free admission. Gender ratio: 60% men and 40% women Percentage of prostitutes: about 20% Male crowd: Western tourists and expats Female crowd: Western tourists, expats and Indonesians. Customer age: 40-60 Likelihood of being picked: High Dress code: Chic tropical style

6. Mirror



Mirror is a nightclub where most of the customers are wealthy Asians (especially Indonesians from Jakarta). If you want to meet young high girls (upper class), you will like it. As long as you don't look like a backpacker or tourist, you can be successful inside. It also helps if you book a table and order bottle service.

First drink fee is IDR 250,000. Male to Female Ratio: 60% males and 40% females Percentage of prostitutes: less than 10% Male Crowd: Chinese Indonesians from Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Denpasar Female Crowd: Same as above Customer Age: 20-30 years old Pick Likelihood: Average Dress Code: Pants and shoes are required for men

7. Old Man's



Old Man’s has a great beach party every Wednesday, with an interesting mix of trashy Kuta tourists and vegan, yoga-loving Canggu residents.

Free entry. Gender ratio: 60% men and 40% women Percentage of prostitutes: less than 10% Male demographic: Australians, Europeans Female demographic: Same as above Customer age: 20-35 Pick-up likelihood: Average Dress code: Holiday attire

8. Jenja



Jenja used to be a decent pickup club, but now there are so many people it's like a sausage fest. Still, you can get lucky in the hip-hop room, where money-oriented Indonesian girls are looking for expats.

IDR250,000 entrance fee and one free drink. Male-female ratio: 80% male and 20% females Percentage of prostitutes: at least 20% male Crowd: Western expats Female crowd: Indonesian girls Client age: 25-45 years Possibility of selection: Low (no need to pay) Dress code: Urban casual (shirt, shoes, pants).
