Swissôtel Jakarta PIK Avenue

Letterpress - SilverKris

"Hidden on the seventh storey of Swissôtel Jakarta PIK Avenue , Letterpress is a cocktail bar that channels speakeasy charm through an Indonesian lens. The design nods to vintage print shops – dark woods, brass fittings, and a soft amber glow – while the drinks list reads like a love letter to global mixology. Signature cocktails reimagine classics with local twists: a smoky pandan old fashioned, a kaffir lime gin sour and an espresso martini infused with single-origin Indonesian beans. The bartenders are easy-going perfectionists, happy to tailor each drink to your mood or meal at The Chinese National next door. By night, Letterpress becomes a stylish refuge for the PIK set – hotel guests, locals and visiting executives trading stories over meticulously shaken drinks and a jazz-inflected soundtrack." - James P.
