Arak is a lcal clear spirit that looks a bit like vodka. It is really strong, and if you drink too much, it tends to give you a dodgy stomach, so be careful! It can be mixed with orange, or lemonade and honey (the so-called 'arak attack' that you will find on lots of menus). Sometimes it is mixed with orange and oured into a shot glass and passed around the table. If you drink one arak and don't like it, then I advise that you try another - they are often very different in differnt places. Some arak is home-brewed (with a very strong smell and flavour!) and some is the supermarket bottled stuff.
Jungle Juice is a different thing. It has arak in it, but it is a cocktail with various ingredients (depending on where you go) e.g. orange, reb dull etc. You can find it at lots of bars and clubs. In the Bounty club they sell it in fishbowls. Again, it is very strong - watch out drinking it. You may not remember anything the next day and feel quite sick.
I imagine that they do sell Arak in the Hard Rock (or maybe not - as they may only do imported spirits). If they do sell it, it will be mega expensive anyway (as everything is in the hard rock), so I would recommend havng a bit of a walk and finding a more local bar or club.
