Thinking of clubbing at Mantra in PIK 2? You might be surprised to stay for the food. This massive, high-energy club impresses with stunning LED visuals and a great music scene. But the real showstopper is the menu, which goes far beyond typical bar fare. Don't miss the unexpectedly delicious Butter Milk Burger or the flavorful Wagyu Fried Rice. It’s the perfect spot for a stylish night out where the dining is as exciting as the dance floor.
Girls, who gets it! I was originally planning to go clubbing with friends at the new Mantra in PIK 2, but I ended up being completely won over by their food. I swear, before I went, I had absolutely zero expectations for the food at a club/lounge. I thought if it could just fill my stomach, that would be a win. But... Anjay, I was so wrong.
The moment I walked in, I was blown away by the scene: a huge, two-story high-ceiling space, and that massive LED screen extending down from the ceiling. The visual effects were maxed out[1]. The sound system was also Mantap, and the music taste was on point, not that cheesy, low-quality rave music. The atmosphere was super high, and it felt like all the coolest young people in Jakarta come here to Nongkrong. The waiters and waitresses were also super friendly and enthusiastic, smiling the whole time and responding super quickly[2]—I have to give them props for that.
Back to the food, we randomly ordered a few things and, surprisingly, didn't hit any duds. That Butter Milk Burger[3] is a must-order! The patty was juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced—definitely not your typical, carelessly made fast-food stuff. My friend's Wagyu Fried Rice[4] was also devoured in seconds. The cocktails looked as good as they tasted. I tried the Mantralicious[5]; it was fruity and rich but not too sweet, perfect for girls.
Of course, it wasn't perfect. As usual, let's get real for a second. We were initially seated in the sofa area on the side, and found that the carpeted wall there was saturated with the smell of smoke, which was a bit overwhelming. If you're sensitive to the smell of smoke, this might detract from your experience[6]. As for the price, it's in the mid-to-high range, so get your wallet ready.
A Real-Talk Guide, You're Welcome!
- How to choose your seat? Highly recommend booking in advance[7], and ask for a table in the middle, avoiding the sofa areas on the sides. The experience will be much better!
- What's the best time to go? If you want to Chill and chat, go earlier; it's not too crowded before midnight. But if you want to feel the party vibe, you have to go after midnight, when the dance floor gets completely packed[8].
- How to get there? Just drive there; they have valet parking. But be aware, the area is quite new, and there isn't even an Indomaret nearby[9], so stock up on water and snacks beforehand.
- Who is it for? Company annual parties, big gatherings with friends, or if you just want a high-quality place to have a blast, this is the right place for you[10].
