The 9 Best Bars in Jakarta

Six Jakarta bars are on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026, four in the top 50 and two on the 51-100 list, and most sit in South Jakarta. The best bars in Jakarta start on Jalan Senopati at Modernhaus, opened in May 2024 by The Union Group's Mirwansyah 'Bule', No. 11 in Asia and The Best Bar in Indonesia 2026; its menu follows a plant's roots, fruits, leaves and flowers, and its Betel cocktail uses betel-infused rum. Cosmo Pony, on the fourth floor of the Grand Hyatt, is Jigger & Pony's first bar abroad and No. 15. Carrots Bar, No. 21, hides in a basement in SCBD around an eight-seat communal bar. The Golden Tooth has been part of the Melawai quarter since March 2023, Between the Sips in Kebayoran Baru keeps a back bar like a jewel case, and HATS Bar took the One To Watch Award. Modernhaus and Between the Sips admit guests 25 and over. These are the nine we would start with.

  1. The Golden Tooth
    ASIA'S 50 BESTCocktail Bar

    The Golden Tooth

    'Cocktails and chat' is the whole idea: Kenny Soetomo, a nineteen-year bartending veteran, opened The Golden Tooth in March 2023 as a well-stocked living room in Melawai, a Brooklyn-loft space of rugged concrete, steel beams and plush armchairs under a skylight. The menu runs on flavor memory rather than technique, outside food is welcome (cup noodles, fried crickets offered), and the unhurried approach carried it to No.40 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026.
