The new year has started strong for the city of Jakarta, with many new food and beverage outlets opening this January. Amongst those are several new bars that have opened their doors in the past weeks, introducing fresh concepts and menus. Drink enthusiasts can be excited about the diverse cocktail menu offerings that are shaking up the capital’s taste bud. Here are three new notable bars that have opened for the public this month.
Black Pond Tavern
The Biko Group’s newest addition to their impressive F&B portfolio is a throwback to the classic American log cabin nostalgia. The Black Pond Tavern, located on the northern end of the Senayan Golf Course, is a never before seen concept in the heart of the city. A literal cabin, sitting on the edge of the golf course with a homey interior, stepping inside transports customers to another era. It’s classic American decor from the standard metal chairs to the billiards table, to the deer head mounted on the wall, many Indonesians who spent time in the United States will find this place very familiar. Serving up some Indonesian inspired cocktails, beer, and bar snacks, the Black Pond Tavern is suitable for groups to enjoy themselves in the heart of the city. It’s a great place to take your mates after a long day at work and well worth checking out.

Koda
A perfect place for those looking for a Japanese cocktail bar experience in the middle of Jakarta, Koda, is the new bar opened by Yutaka Nakashima. Jakarta’s very own resident Japanese bartender, Yutaka formerly helmed the bar at D’Classic, a Japanese speakeasy bar in the SCBD area. Bringing over his wealth of expertise to his new project, it is not surprising that the quality of cocktails in Koda is world-class. Their menu features classic cocktails twisted with only the best local ingredients. Guests can also order a bespoke cocktail tailor-made to their desires by head bartender Yutaka. Located in the Sudirman 7.8 building right next to the Gedung Astra, it is somewhat hidden without any clear signage. A speakeasy in its own right, guests upon finding the entrance to Koda, is rewarded with a uniques hospitality experience only found in the classic Japanese cocktail bars.
