Head to KITA Bar on the Park Hyatt Jakarta rooftop for epic 360-degree sunset views. This sophisticated spot is perfect for an evening out, with creative Japanese-inspired cocktails that truly impress. But here's the crucial tip: stick to the drinks. The article reveals why the food is a major disappointment, offering essential advice on how to best enjoy the stunning scenery and amazing beverages for a perfect night out in the city.
Friends, who gets it? In Jakarta, there's nothing more healing than chasing a perfect sunset. The KITA Bar on the rooftop of the Park Hyatt, which everyone's been asking about lately, I went to check it out for you guys!
Seriously, when the elevator doors open on the 36th floor and the 360-degree Jakarta skyline spreads out unreservedly before you, that feeling... Mantap!
A Perfect View, Just the Right Amount of Buzz
The whole bar has a very sophisticated design, it's the kind of chill atmosphere perfect for a date[1]. We made a special effort to arrive around 5 PM and snagged the"throne" on the outdoor terrace, watching the sun slowly sink into the city's silhouette, with the distant MONAS also turning into a silhouette[2]. I'd give this view a 100, and I'm not afraid of it getting arrogant.
The drink menu is very interesting, featuring Japanese-inspired cocktails[3]. I ordered a signature cocktail called `Sing at o mally`[4], which you could think of as a"clarified" Piña Colada. The taste is more refreshing, not as sickly sweet, which was a pleasant surprise. My friend's gin-based drink was also on point; both its looks and taste were worthy of the Park Hyatt name.
Let's Be Real: Red Flag Warning
OK, enough with the praise, it's time to complain. The drinks are good, but the food... Anjay, I really can't say the same.
We got greedy and ordered a grilled skewer platter, but it arrived cold, and the meat was tough and dry[5]. My friend's shrimp balls were also super greasy[6]. I sincerely advise everyone, just come here to enjoy the drinks and the view, and don't have any expectations for the food. Treat it as purely a bar, not a restaurant!
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls & Save Money 📝
Finally, for the girls who plan to check this place out, here are the key points, so get your little notebooks ready!
- Best Time: Arrive sharp at 5 PM![7] Snag an outdoor sofa seat, and the prime sunset spot is all yours.
- How to Get Up: First, go to the hotel lobby on the 23rd floor, then switch to the dedicated elevator for the 36th floor.[8]
- What to Order: Focus on the drinks! Cocktails are priced between 125k-175k IDR[9] per glass, which is reasonable for a five-star hotel. Don't order food! Don't order food! Don't order food! (Important things must be said three times)
- Check the Bill: The bill will automatically include a service charge and tax, but I've heard there are occasional miscalculations, so be sure to double-check when you pay![10]
- Want a Quieter Vibe?: Monday and Tuesday nights are much less crowded, perfect if you just want to come to nongkrong and chat.
- From the 36th floor, soak in Jakarta's 360-degree skyline and a breathtaking sunset, MONAS silhouetted [1].
- Sip unique Japanese-inspired cocktails, like the 'clarified' Pina Colada – refreshing, not too sweet, a delightful surprise [2].
- For 125k-175k IDR, get a high-end yet chill date vibe at Park Hyatt's rooftop – incredible value [3][4].
