The presence of the nightlife venue Nectar in Pererenan Village, Mengwi District, Badung, has finally drawn the attention of authorities. The Badung Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) admitted that officers had directly inspected the location to verify the business activities taking place there.
Head of Satpol PP Badung, I Gusti Agung Ketut Suryanegara, said the inspection was carried out following various public complaints regarding activities at the venue. However, based on reports from officers on site, the business has reportedly not been fully operational yet.
“Officers went there yesterday. According to staff reports, there has been no full operation yet. Only the first floor is running, which is the restaurant,” Suryanegara said on Saturday (March 7). He explained that the only visible activity at the location so far is limited to a restaurant business.
Meanwhile, the upper floor area that had drawn public attention is reportedly not yet in use.
“According to the staff report, only the restaurant operation is running,” he emphasized.
Separately, Head of the Linmas and Public Order Division of Satpol PP Badung, Bagus Rai, who led the field inspection, confirmed that the business owner had previously been summoned by the Regional Regulation Enforcement (Perda) division.
The summons was made because the business licensing documents were said to be not fully completed.
“Yes, the owner was summoned by the Regional Regulation Enforcement division. The restaurant already has a permit, but the upper floor is indeed not yet operating,” he explained.
According to Bagus Rai, the venue also cannot yet be categorized as a nightclub as widely discussed by the public. Currently, the management is still arranging and preparing the space.
“It’s not a club. The room is small and they are still making improvements, including installing soundproofing and other facilities,” he said.
He added that the operational permit for the upper floor area is indeed incomplete. Besides not yet being used, the licensing process is still ongoing.
“The permits are not complete because it hasn’t started operating yet. However, the SKPL already exists, while other permits are still in process,” he concluded.
However, Satpol PP’s statement has instead raised questions among residents. Several locals claim that the activities at the venue are far from the image of an ordinary restaurant. Some residents said the place is often crowded until early morning, especially on weekends when foreign DJs and female workers from abroad reportedly appear.
“Wow, how can that be? The atmosphere there is not like an ordinary restaurant. Just check it every night,” said one local resident while shaking his head.
Information gathered on site also indicates a reservation system similar to that of a nightclub. One circulating message contains a reservation contact that reads:
“GL & Reservation Here For RSVP 0881037582XXX.”
However, when the number was contacted via WhatsApp, the sender only received an automated reply:
“Hello there!
Thank you for reaching out to Nectar Club Bali.
Our team will reply to your message as soon as possible.
For reservations, tables, or any inquiries, simply reply to this message.
Thank you, Nectar Club Bali.”
In addition, the admin also sent a table reservation layout complete with categories and minimum spending requirements.
The layout shows a DJ booth positioned as the center of entertainment. Surrounding it are several VIP tables strategically placed to enjoy the music performance.
In the most exclusive section, there is a VVIP area with a minimum spend of around Rp45 million++, excluding tax and service charges. Meanwhile, VIP tables on the left and right sides of the DJ booth—such as V1, V2, V3, V4, V6, V7, and V8—are priced at a minimum spend of about Rp15 million++.
There are also mid-tier tables with a minimum spend of around Rp20 million++, as well as other tables starting from Rp7 million++.
All prices are subject to an additional 15 percent tax and 7 percent service charge.
Seeing this reservation scheme, some residents once again questioned the statement that the venue operates only as a restaurant.
“What kind of restaurant has a DJ booth, VVIP section, and table reservations costing tens of millions?” another resident asked.
