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?
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. 😅
