View profileEntries sit in separate districts rather than on one bar strip: Kemang (1920 Lounge & Dining), Senopati (Modernhaus), Thamrin (Cosmo Pony), and SCBD (Carrots Bar). One more district carries an entry. Plan an evening around one area, or budget travel time between two.
Led by 1920 Lounge & Dining (Kemang) at No.1, Modernhaus (Senopati) at No.12, and Cosmo Pony (Thamrin) at No.16, on the current Asia list. Positions move with each edition, so a room can climb or drop between seasons.
Of the 5 rooms in Jakarta, 2 require a reservation and 2 take walk-ins. Every profile carries the phone, website, and reservation rule we last confirmed with the room. For a sense of spend, Carrots Bar lists about $11 per cocktail.
Each of these 5 rooms holds a position on our Asia ranking for the current season. Editors visit unannounced, more than once where a room has changed hands or rewritten its menu, and score on drinks, hospitality, consistency, and sense of place. We take no fee for inclusion, so nothing on this page can be bought. Jakarta rooms we rate but have not ranked are published as profiles without a list position.
Booking, districts, and how the Jakarta ranking works.
Jakarta's 1920 Lounge & Dining holds No.1 on our Asia ranking for the current season, in Kemang. Its profile carries the address, hours, reservation rule, and what to order on a first visit.
Five rooms in Jakarta, across 5 districts. Each one holds a position on the current Asia list, and we add rooms when an opening changes how the city drinks rather than to fill a quota.
Of the 5 rooms in Jakarta, 2 require a reservation and 2 take walk-ins. Each profile lists the exact rule, the phone number, and the booking link.
Kemang, where 1920 Lounge & Dining sits at No.1. The entries here are spread across the city rather than concentrated in one district, so it is worth fixing your first booking and building the evening around it.
