Discover a hidden speakeasy in Jakarta, tucked away in a stunning glass loft above Rumu. This industrial-chic spot offers incredible sunset views through its massive glass roof, creating a warm and private atmosphere. With chill R&B music and a low-smoke environment, it's perfect for a relaxed evening. Be sure to try their signature cocktails, like the coffee-infused Robusta Negroni. It's an ideal hideout for enjoying creative drinks and watching the city's golden hour in style.
The treasures of Jakarta are truly endless! Every time I think I've explored all of South Jakarta, there's always a new surprise. This time, it's upstairs from Rumu restaurant, behind an unassuming door, where a loft-like Speakeasy[1] is surprisingly hidden. Anjay! It feels like stumbling into someone's secret hideout.
Sunsets and a Slight Buzz in the Loft
The moment I walked in, I fell in love with the sense of space! An industrial-style loft design, with high ceilings and a huge glass roof, makes the whole atmosphere both private and warm[2]. In the evening, sunlight streams in through the glass, paired with Chill R&B and Hiphop music, it just doesn't get more comfortable than this. The best part is, there's very little smoke. I've finally found a place where you can have a good chat without being smoked out by a human range hood, Mantap!
The drink menu is really interesting, inspired by the bartenders and regulars, so each drink is like a person's story. I went straight for their signature Robusta Negroni[3], and wow, that coffee flavor is top-notch. It's strong on the palate with a long, sweet aftertaste—definitely a grown-up's drink. The Hillary's[4] my friend ordered was much gentler. A mezcal base with pineapple and mint, it's as refreshing as a Bali sea breeze. A great choice for beginners, you can't go wrong with this one.
Some Real Talk
Although the atmosphere and creativity are maxed out, let's be honest. Their cocktail prices are indeed on the higher side compared to similar places, so your wallet might feel the pinch a little. Also, I've seen some people online complain that some drinks are too sweet or just average in taste[5]. It probably depends on personal preference and the specific drink you order. I'd suggest sticking to the signature drinks to be safe.
Editor's Key Points (Get your notebooks ready 📝)
- Best Time: Want to catch the sunset + avoid the crowds? 5-6 PM is the golden hour[6]! It starts getting crowded after 9 PM.
- Food & Drinks: They don't serve food here, it's drinks only. If you get hungry, you can order delivery to the bar, which is pretty flexible.
- Booking Info: If you're making a reservation, it's best to double-check with them if there's a time limit[7], so you don't get"asked" to leave halfway through your drinks and ruin the mood.
- For those who get cold easily: The AC at the bar seats might freeze you into a popsicle[8]. For my friends who are sensitive to the cold, remember to bring a light jacket or choose a different spot.
