Jakarta's party scene has a new hotspot! The Whiterabit club is now in Gatot Subroto, boasting a luxurious, international vibe perfect for your next night out. While the food is solid, the music is the real talk—it's not your usual EDM, so expect unique genres like Breakbeat. For the best experience, hit up their Monday BOGO spirit deals or Tuesday's free-flow for ladies. It's a wild new spot for adventurous party animals looking for a different vibe.
Fam, who gets it, ever since that Whiterabit in PIK blew up, I've been waiting for them to open in the South. And what do you know, as soon as the Gatot Subroto branch opened, I rushed right over! 😎
The moment I walked in, I was stunned by the luxurious vibe. The lighting and atmosphere were on point, giving off total international club vibes[1], I felt like I was instantly transported to some huge party overseas. Any photo you take turns out great, perfect for the girls to come Nongkrong, take pictures, and check in. We ordered a few snacks, the Elixia Beef Burger[2] and the fried calamari (Tom Fried Calamari[3]) were pretty good. They were delicious, and the portions were good for sharing, just right for lining your stomach before a night of dancing.
Let's be real, we gotta talk about the pros and cons
Alright, enough with the praise, let's get real!
The ambiance and food are impeccable, and the prices are pretty fair[4], but the music here... emmm, it's a bit of an acquired taste. The day I went, they were actually playing Breakbeat, which is a completely different vibe from the mainstream clubs in Senopati or SCBD[5]. Those who like this genre might think it's Mantap, but if you're coming for mainstream EDM, you might be a bit confused. Anjay, their taste in music is quite unique.
