Blok M

Blok M

Blok M
Blok M is a business and shopping quarter located in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Indonesia. It runs east from Iskandarsyah street to Bulungan street in the west. North from Falatehan street to Melawai street in the south. The development is less modern than some of the developments near Kota, West Jakarta and many of the buildings are run down. The area becomes quite crowded daily, and even more so nightly. Much of the popularity of the quarter is due to the prices of goods, the night life, and the accessibility of the center, considering it contains one of the largest bus stations in Jakarta which many Transjakarta and Kopaja buses depart from.
The most popular portion of Blok M and certainly what has given it most of its notoriety is the Falatehan street, 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.
