Escape Jakarta's usual hustle at BUNK Lounge & Bar, a sophisticated chill spot in Pullman Central Park. It feels less like a bar and more like a spacious, artistic living room, perfect for quiet conversations, work, or simply unwinding. Discover expertly crafted cocktails—often with great deals—and a relaxed, cozy atmosphere. Whether you choose the indoor sofas, the breezy outdoor area, or the quiet second floor, it’s an ideal urban sanctuary without the stuffy hotel vibe.
In Jakarta, trying to find a place where you can actually talk without shouting is so hard... Especially in hotels, I'm always afraid of accidentally stumbling into some big-shot business dinner and feeling totally out of place.
But this BUNK Lounge & Bar in Pullman Central Park is something else. It's not like those noisy party spots, nor is it a stuffy business bar; it's more like an artistic living room hidden in the heart of the city.
Vibe Check Crew, Assemble 🛋️
The moment you walk in, it feels like the whole world has quieted down. It's full of artistic flair but not overly pretentious[1]. The space is huge, with indoor, outdoor, and even a second-floor area. The lighting is just right. Snuggled up on that velvet sofa, I feel like I could Nongkrong all night long; it's so cozy.
What I love most is the perfect blend of art and tranquility. Whether you're meeting a client, bringing a laptop to get some work done, or even just looking for a place to zone out, this spot is perfect. For introverts and people who need a quiet space, it's practically heaven.
Drinks and Food, Tested and Approved 🍸
The soul of a bar is, of course, its drinks. I have to praise the cocktails here. The bartender's skills are no joke; every single drink is practically perfect[2]. Plus, they often have"Buy One, Get One Free" promotions, which makes the value for money off the charts. I can finally stop worrying about my wallet!
I wasn't expecting much from the bar snacks at a hotel, so I just randomly ordered a Club Sandwich[3] to fill my stomach. But it was surprisingly on point—fresh and delicious. The service also deserves a special shout-out. The staff I met, like Shafa and Aim, were on top of their game the whole time—enthusiastic and professional[4], without any of the stuffy attitude you sometimes get at five-star hotels. It felt very comfortable.
