Ditch the quiet and level up your pool game at Jakarta's Headquarter Bar N Pool. This spot mashes up a professional pool hall with a high-energy nightclub. Challenge your friends on top-tier tables while a live DJ fuels the party vibe. With a wild dance floor, surprisingly delicious food, and expertly crafted cocktails, it’s the ultimate destination for anyone looking to play hard and party even harder. It's a unique "Pool x Clubbing" experience you won't want to miss.
Jakarta's nightlife is getting more and more competitive! Last weekend, my friends dragged me to a place called Headquarter Bar N Pool. I originally thought it was just a regular pool bar where we could quietly chill for a bit. Turns out I was wrong, dead wrong! The moment I walked in, the deafening DJ set almost sent me packing. This isn't a pool hall, it's clearly a nightclub! 🤣
But I gotta say, this contrast is pretty addictive. On one side, you have professional-grade pool tables, and on the other, a dance floor that's absolutely wild. To be fair, the pool tables here are seriously Mantap! [1] They're said to be newly replaced, the surface is super smooth, the lighting is just right, and they feel first-class to play on. A few of us friends got a table, and as we were playing, we couldn't help but start grooving to the music.
The place is especially lively on weekends. The DJ and MC are amazing at hyping up the crowd. It gets more crowded as the night goes on, and later they clear out a space in the middle for a dance floor. [2] The food was also a pleasant surprise. I didn't have high expectations for bar food, but... Anjay! It was actually pretty delicious! [3] The flavors are rich and fresh, perfect for sharing with friends. Their Cocktails[4] are also expertly mixed, not that sugary water stuff you get sometimes. The ice-cold Draft Beer[5] is top-notch too.
Of course, as usual, let's talk about the practical stuff. If you want to sit comfortably and snag a sofa spot, there's a minimum charge, around 1.5 to 2.5 million Indonesian Rupiah[6]. It can be used for food, drinks, and pool fees, which is actually not too bad if you have a group to split it with.
Also, this place is really only for people who love a lively party atmosphere. If you're looking for a quiet place to chat and have a heart-to-heart, I'd advise against it, because the music is really loud. [7] Another hard truth: don't even think about coming here to watch a sports match! [8] A friend tried. As soon as the match started and the DJ's music kicked in, you couldn't hear a thing. You're basically just watching in silence.
TL;DR Summary 📝
Who is it for?
Young people who love a lively scene, want to Nongkrong with friends, and especially pool enthusiasts—this is the place for you! Hype-squad, assemble!
