Thinking of catching the big match at Falcon Sport's Bar? You might want to reconsider. This review recounts a disastrous Champions League final night where loud DJ music completely drowned out the game. Discover why this supposed sports bar is a major letdown for football fans, from the bizarre atmosphere to limited drink options. It's a must-read cautionary tale for anyone in Jakarta looking for a genuine spot to actually watch sports and a solid warning to avoid this one.
Friends, let's just say, is there any chance that you'd excitedly run to a Sports Bar with a 4.7 Google rating to watch the Champions League final, only to find the whole place blasting DJ club bangers? 🤯
That's right, this surreal scene happened at a place in West Jakarta called Falcon Sport's Bar. I had arranged to meet a few football buddies for a Nobar (watching together) party, the vibe was just right, but as soon as the match started, the sound from the DJ booth completely drowned everything out. I was totally stunned. Anjay! What the heck was that?
Our group went to confront the staff, asking why the promised match viewing had turned into a clubbing scene. They just casually replied:"A lot of people voted to listen to the DJ..." I was like, ??? If you don't play the original match commentary, can you even call yourself a Sports Bar? It was basically a"dimensional reduction strike"[1] against us true fans. Seriously, in that moment, I just wanted to turn around and leave.
Okay, Let's Be Real
To be fair, aside from that outrageous situation, the service was actually okay if you're just treating it as a regular lounge or KTV to Nongkrong for a bit. But the bad experience wasn't over. We wanted to order a few drinks to calm our nerves, but the waiter came over with an apologetic look and said several options were"kosong" (sold out), which downgraded the experience yet again[2].
Key Takeaways: My Sincere Advice for You 📝
In short, don't come here if you want to watch a match, and don't come here if you want to go clubbing either (there's no dance floor, after all). Its positioning is really awkward. Mantap, another solid entry added to my Jakarta"places to avoid" guide. 😅
- If you're a true football fan: If you want to watch an important match in peace, listen to the commentary, and soak in the atmosphere, promise me you'll stay away! Don't come here and ruin your own day[3]. There are plenty of good Sports Bars in Jakarta, don't waste your emotions and time on this one.
- If you're just looking for a place to Chill: If you're not into sports and just want a place to sing, have a couple of drinks with friends, then this place is an option. After all, the environment isn't bad; it's just a run-of-the-mill Lounge Bar.
- Ordering Tip: To avoid disappointment, it's best to ask the bartender what's in stock before you order, so you don't spend ages choosing only to find out they have nothing[4].
