Congo Bar Jakarta

Mencoba ke hutan indoor yang super cantik nan dingin ini. Ambience is so important for me and this obvi an 9/10. I’m so amazed with the little island on the top 😍 💯 for the cocktail. Definitely will come back here 🔁

My friend introduced me to congo Bar & Grill (often referred to simply as Congo) in the Senayan area of Jakarta. I consider this plave as a stylish and immersive cocktail bar, distinctively known for its exotic and atmospheric design. ​The Vibe & Ambiance (The Main Attraction)- The strongest positive point is the unique forest/jungle theme- Really like their design that takes inspiration from rainforest landscapes and even films like Avatar. ​Design Elements: The space features dark, intimate lighting, walls with rock or stone texture, moss-covered ceiling niches resembling cave openings, and tropical plants and foliage. ​Atmosphere: It's seen as a small, intimate, and mysterious lounge/bar, perfect for laid-back conversations or a special night out. ​Drinks & Cocktails ​The Concept: The cocktail menu is highly conceptual, with sections named after animal icons (e.g., Leopard, Python, Monkey, Elephant), each defining a different flavor profile. This approach is often praised for its creativity. ​Unique Offerings: Specific drinks like Bad Juju (complex, hidden bite) and Monkey Business (fruity, floral, creamy) are often highlighted as unique and flavorful. The bartenders are noted for being thoughtful and able to recommend drinks based on personal preferences. ​Team - my experience with team is bit flat. Team was not cheerful. We were 4 people and drinks served were only 3. They forgot to serve long island Tea. Ideally in bars , all waiters count the people and ask for drinks and food. Sometimes recommend too. Here its not the same way. We went on Saturday night at 9.30pm. It was almost empty. I am sure people were coming in. Still they forgot to serve one drink. And no dj on Saturday. I call it a cozy and nice place to spend time

Good drinks, good vibe, great service. Solid place to chill and enjoy a night out

2nd Bar i visit for the night..I went here to see whats inside as it came up in google random suggestion. I ordered one cocktail'swangin' and didnt order any food. I finished my drinks and went back to hotel. Maybe I will be back to see how it looks on Wed night

Ambience good but for me, as someone who really love cocktails i think the flavor just flat and i don't find something uniq in here. And then the waiter porpose me to try new cocktail, something negroni ,( forget the menu's name ) but also i think the flavor just flat .

small bar/lounge/club with forest concept. even the cocktails have animal themes to it. dress appropriately since the AC can be quiet cold.

When I entered the bar, I can tell they try to emboss something Jungle-ish vibe in the tropical area. Loads of plants here and there. But I don't see that in their menu. Probably Rum-based drinks can fit their purposes. 1. Drinks Dumbo, Swangin and Monkey Business. It's personal choice, but I despise egg white, and their three signatures include egg white. Only dumbo- infused and stirred, but I don't taste honey dew in my dry vermouth. Disappointed. 2. temperature Extremely icey cold. I rather not stay in the human induced ac place after hours of being stuck in the office where AC is blowing like hell. 3. Bill Just better order drinks only. Drinks and foods are not in one bill, so you need to wait for the second bill if you order foods. Not bad, but not amused.

its a really fire place and the bartender was so thoughtful to recommend us drinks according to our preferences. the drinks turned out amazing too!! will definitely come back
