Struggling to plan a night out that pleases everyone? Richman in Jakarta is the perfect solution. This unique lounge offers two floors with two distinct vibes. The first floor is a cozy, chill space with live music, ideal for conversations and dates. When you're ready to party, just head upstairs to the second floor for a lively DJ set and dance floor. Enjoy delicious fusion food and a huge, free parking lot, making it the ultimate spot for any group.
It's always a headache planning a Nongkrong with friends. Some want to chat quietly, while others want to dance to a DJ, and it always ends with everyone going their separate ways unhappily. Anjay! Until I discovered this place called Richman, it's literally a lifesaver for people like us. One spot gives you two choices directly, no more arguing🤣.
One Spot, Two Completely Different Nongkrong Experiences
Let me tell you, the most amazing thing about this place is its spatial design. The first floor is a bright and warm"chat area" with soft lighting, perfect for ordering drinks and gossiping with your besties. There's mellow Live Music in the background, and the vibe is super chill[1]. The waiters are all super friendly, and communication is very smooth[2], making the experience top-notch.
Want a change of mood? Just head up to the second-floor"party zone." The style changes completely, the lights dim, and the music from the DJ booth instantly makes you want to dance💃. For friend gatherings, if you want to seamlessly switch from heart-to-heart mode to dancing mode, this place is absolutely perfect!
The food doesn't disappoint at all. The menu is a fusion of Eastern and Western cuisine, so my indecisiveness is kicking in again. Their Pizza[3] is seriously Mantap, not one of those half-assed frozen ones. The crust is crispy and the toppings are generous. You have to try the signature Richman Burger[4] too! The patty is juicy and the sauce is unique. My friend ordered the Beef Saikoro Rice Bowl[5] and said it was amazing. The portion size is touchingly generous, one serving is about 60k Indonesian Rupiah, much bigger than an airplane meal.
Some honest thoughts…
Of course, it's not all mindless praise. As for the price, it's subjective. While some dishes are affordable, after a quick look at the whole menu, it does feel a tad pricier than some other places in Kelapa Gading[6]. Oh, right, the Gelato I ordered after my meal because I was craving something sweet—I personally found it a bit too sweet, but those with a sweet tooth might love it.
Cheat Sheet, You're Welcome!
- How to choose your zone? If you just want to chat, go on a date, or listen to Live Music, the first floor is enough. If you're with a big group and want some excitement, or want to do some light dancing, head straight to the second floor.
- What's the easiest way to get there? The location is super easy to find, right across from the McDonald's in Artha Gading. The most important thing is, in a city like Jakarta where parking is a huge pain, they have a free and huge parking lot[7]! A blessing for drivers!
- How to get the best value? Before you go, you can ask if there are any recent Promos[8]; they often have promotions. If you don't know what to order, just go for the Pizza, Richman Burger, or the Rice Bowl series with your eyes closed—you basically can't go wrong.
- All desires met: cozy chat zone + lyrical Live Music (1F), instant DJ dance party zone (2F). Chill or party, your pick![1]
- Their Pizza: crispy crust, generous toppings. Plus, juicy, unique Richman Burger. All Mantap![2]
- Jakarta parking nightmare? Solved! Free, massive parking lot. Drivers, you'll cheer![3]
