Club and Cafe
The most popular portion of Blok M and certainly what has given it most of its notoriety is the Falatehan street (Jalan Felatehan), which is the portion of the quarter that contains the bars and clubs. Many of the bars become extremely crowded at night and are known to stay open extremely late. Melawai street in the south has many cafes. In 1980s - 1990s, Melawai street (called Lintas Melawai) was popular as the youth centre of Jakarta.
