Nine of the finest rooftop bars in Jakarta
What’s better than spending your evening or watching the sun set in Jakarta on a rooftop hangout spot? Located mostly around the city's central and south areas, these places have unique characteristics that attract visitors.
Here are nine of the finest rooftop bars in Jakarta.
La Vue
Simply called La Vue, which means “view” in French, this place offers a beautiful view of the sunset. La Vue was designed with a simple concept, mostly surrounded by bright colors yet it has its own charm.
SKYE Bar & Restaurant
With its central location, Skye is very famous not just among locals but also tourists who visit Jakarta and are looking for a great place to chill with a beautiful view. For years now, Skye is known as the most sophisticated rooftop bar in Jakarta, especially due to its strict dress code.
BART – Bar at The Rooftop
Since its launch, BART has been a hot spot with a view. This place not only serves great drinks but it also boasts art since it is owned by Artotel, the most artsy hotel in Jakarta.
Cloud
Cloud makes Jakarta proud by standing tall, offering a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city. This place functions as a lounge with great music and a restaurant with an incredible menu.
Por Que No
Por Que No is the only rooftop bar in Jakarta offering a Spanish concept and a view of Jakarta’s skyscrapers. In addition to doing well in terms of serving great foods like tapas, this place also has a great selection of cocktails.
Hause Rooftop
Located in the MD building in Kuningan, Hause Rooftop is a special case in Jakarta’s rooftop bar scene. Not only you can expect great entertainment and delightful cocktails but it also often holds interesting events like yoga sessions or speed dating, attracting a lot of Jakartans to join the fun.
Soupanova Ecosky
Soupanova Ecosky’s location affects the view it has to offer since it is located in TB Simatupang area, not the usual South or Central Jakarta. But once you get to the top, you will see something different compared to any other rooftop bar: flat yet picturesque with a lot of lights from the surrounding houses instead of tall skyscrapers.
Skyloft Restaurant & Bar
Simple and humble, Skyloft is a great place to spend your evening when you are thirsty for cocktails after work while looking over the city. This place also offers great food, from Western to local dishes.
FJ On 7
Noisy places in Kemang are usually easy to spot, but not FJ on 7. You might notice the intriguing bright lights from the top combined with boogey-style music that becomes its own attraction. FJ on 7 is also perfect for a quiet afternoon when you want to chill out with a cup of coffee and delightful brunch.
