south maybe you can try loewy

in kota classic already open at 5.

I know South area very well. I mean places like PUB where people gather to drink and talk like Hard Rock Cafe before. Not places to find ayam bro.... FL maybe...

When I drove past Fortune at Sudirman, the banner reads as if they have happy hour time at the karaoke too

I'll PM you my JJM (Jalan-jalan Malam) BB Pin ya

Bro... Not these kind of places. Very boring having cheong for 15 years here. Been there and seen all. Just places where expat gather to drink, play some pool and meet new friends. Afterhours at Sarinah used to be quite good but not sure what happened recently. The old timer no longer goes there. But Arab and youngster that hand around there after 8 pm not to play pool but to hook the PR there.

Places like Jaya Pub which is the oldest pub in town and also late crowd.

Jalan Jaksa heard not bad and went to search and most pub is quite dead. Very much like Kemang where the crowd come in late...

Once upon a time was in Bats every 2 days per week with nice expat and local handing around...


Let me know if you guys know of any places for drink and I miss Hard Rock.. It moved to EX and last I saw it is closed.


PS Cherry renovated and now hv KTV room also. It is not like a real lounge.. People come ... see see and go up....

Ah, that figured. Coz thought to myself no way pak Rainman would be asking for those kind cheonging places, it would be the other around, me asking for your guidance.

For chilling out, boozes, billiard can perhaps try these places. Haven't been to few of these places recently, so not sure how now, and whether fun or quiet during the office hours

Billiard:
- Afterhours Sarinah (which you already mentioned)
- La Forca Setiabudi (not sure if even still operating)

Bar/lounge chill out settings:
- Loewy Oakwood
- Potato Head or Capocaccia Pacific Place
- Luna Negra Bapindo
- Union Senayan

Beer-bars:
- De Burse Equity Tower, together with other of their pubs like De Hooi and Cazbar

Wine:
- Cork and Screw Kuningan
- Decanter Kuningan
- Vin+ Arcadia Senayan

The bars and lounges in some Hotels are also quite popular (Hyatt, Mulia, Ritz Kuningan, Park Lane-Stix?, etc).

Yes Aphrodite (http://www.aphroditebar.com/) is very good place for expat to hang out but traffic to there is very bad, 2 pool table and nice STW (middle age lady) babe... The Owner is Indian Singaporean that hv been here very long, he also Own Liquid Exchange (http://www.facebook.com/lexjakarta?fref=ts) across the Road and Kinara Fez (http://www.kinara.co.id/_ ) At Kemang and Kinara Fez Dungeon with another Indian Singaporean that serve excellent Singapore food at this last join.
