A 4.9 on Google, but I almost had Fyne to myself on a Saturday?

Don't be fooled by an empty dance floor if you arrive early at Fyne Jakarta! While this highly-rated club has a slow start, it redeems itself with impeccable service, a comfortable vibe, and surprisingly delicious snacks. The key is to show up after midnight or for one of their theme parties to catch the real energy. It's the perfect spot for a group night out, but you might want to skip the cocktails and stick to the food.
With South Jakarta's nightlife being this competitive, a club with a 4.9 on Google has to be something special, right? That's what I thought too, until I excitedly showed up at Fyne Jakarta at 10:30 PM last Saturday...
The moment I walked in, where was everyone? What happened to the promised weekend madness? The dance floor was completely empty, and the DJ looked like he was just spinning for himself. The vibe was super awkward for a bit... Anjay, I almost thought I had booked out the whole place. [1] At that moment, only one thought crossed my mind: Is this just another overhyped influencer spot?
But don't leave just yet, there are some highlights
Calming down, to be fair, Fyne's hardware and software are actually not bad.
First off, the service is impeccable. The staff are all super nice, always smiling, and it feels like they could get the party started themselves even if the place is dead. I even heard that when a friend was on the empty dance floor, a staff member pulled her in for a dance. How adorable is that service! [2]
Secondly, the space feels really comfortable. The AC is blasting, so you don't have to worry about your hair getting greasy even if you dance up a sweat. The dance floor is just the right size, and the lights aren't blindingly flashy, which is great for those of us who are into a more chill style of clubbing. 👍
The biggest surprise is that their snacks are the bomb! [3] I wasn't expecting much and just ordered something to fill my stomach, but it was surprisingly delicious—definitely Mantap level. It's the perfect way to recharge when you're tired from dancing.
But, the drinks are... hard to put into words...
Now that the praise is over, it's time to roast them. Friends, their cocktails are... a bit of a turn-off.
The one I ordered tasted like juice with a tiny splash of alcohol, and they were way more generous with the ice than the booze [4]. A real money-making genius, I'll give them that. But that taste really didn't make me want to order a second one. For my friends who want a real drink, I suggest just getting a bottle and not wasting your emotions on the cocktails.
So, is Fyne actually worth visiting?
Come on, let me give you the"real talk" guide.
✨ When to go?
Definitely don't be a fool like me and show up at 10:30 PM on a Saturday! I'd suggest going after 12 AM midnight, or just aim for one of their theme parties. I saw on their Instagram that their previous Halloween"Pet Sematary" party looked super cool, and the atmosphere is bound to be great at times like that! [5]
💃 Who is it for?
Definitely for a group of friends! It's perfect for coming to Nongkrong with a big group of your besties and bros; it only gets hype with a crowd. If you're looking for a place to quietly chill and chat with friends, then this is definitely not the spot for you.
🍟 What to order?
Order any of the snacks, you basically can't go wrong [6]. As for the drinks... you know the deal.
💅 A small complaint
I hope the owner can fix up the parking lot and install more mirrors! [7] Every time I go to the restroom to touch up my makeup, the mirrors are tiny and there are so few of them. It's so not girl-friendly, hey
- Forget Google's 4.9, this spot ignites after midnight! Or hit their epic theme parties, like "Pet Cemetery" – it's wild! [1]
- Club food? Nah! Their snacks are bomb, so Mantap they'll instantly revive you after dancing! [2]
- Awkward? Nah! Staff are so cool, they'll even pull you onto the dance floor to dance together [3], instantly soaking you in Indonesian vibes!
