Party Spot of the Week
1. Ms. Jackson Music Bar
Live music hotspot, decent drinks & vibe
“I tried visiting this small bar in South Jakarta area looking for a live band performance with drinks. I know im not a big fan of cigar smoke indoors but i had no choice. Truth is its not as bad as I thought The band is pretty interactive and the drinks are not bad. Tried one signature cocktail with Pandan and one classic Whiskey Sour to spend 2 hours with the live music and cool ambiance and I was not let down Im giving a full stars since the drink price is pretty normal and the hospitality is well done! Definitely will come back”






2. DUCK DOWN BAR
The place is like in a basement. As soon as you enter, the rock 'n roll vibes hit you
“One of not so many bars or clubs that doesn't play EDM or any other kind of music that you'd normally found in other bars/clubs. Instead they played rock, alternative, or other rock genres. They also host some of the coolest partys and karaoke nights. The atmosfer in Duck Down is pretty wild, sticker bombed wall, people writings on their toilet walls and random places around the vicinity. The pricing is quite decent and their selection of beverages is spot on. Since Duck Down is the one of the hippest place in Jakarta, expect the place to be fully packed in pretty much any day of the week.”

5. ZODIAC
The place is cozy and intimate, with a playlist perfect for vibing
“The first time I stepped into this place, I was intrigued by something called Empirical drinks. My curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to order an empirical cocktail. To my surprise, it came in a can! Haha! It was a unique experience for me, both discovering a drink called Empirical and having my first cocktail in a can. But let me tell you, the taste was absolutely delicious and refreshing, with several variations of the Empirical flavor available. They mentioned that in Jakarta, these bottles are exclusive to this place – nowhere else. What a find!”




6. Double Doors
Pub santai, steak & live music, cocok buat hangout malam.
“Cozy Place. I only sat in their 1st floor,, the ambience is quite nice. There is bar and some tables. Second bar is for live music, but didnt try it. Third floor is for fun, there is bilyard table. If you want to have talk, 1st floor is great choice. The price is like other bar, quite pricey. They provide varies of beverages ,many choices. Ordered pizza chicken BBQ , tastes is really good but had to wait for 50min to be served Open till 3AM. To sum up, a nice place to hangout and have drink”

Sekarang tiap malam minggu jadi momen yang selalu kami tunggu, karena bukan cuma sekedar main, tapi jadi bagian dari sebuah ruang kolektif yang punya semangat dan karakter.
