Buddha bar opens in Jakarta

I went to the newly opened Buddha bar last wednesday evening. It was packed (on a weekday). Got gin tonic at the bar and wandering around at the second floor restaurant, moved to the terrace outside overlooking the garden and the fountain outside. The club/restaurant is housed in the Dutch colonial building. It was the centre of cultural life back then before turned into an immigration office in the past years.

The interior is elegant. The music is nice (although weird because they played Culture Club, Kenny Logins, Gloria Gaynor etc that night). Is Wednesday an 80's music nite?

Didn't try the restaurant. I suspect it tasteless and expensive. Anyway, I don't think you go to this place for the food.

Want to have ago at this decadence? Just head to Jalan Teuku Umar 1, Jakarta Pusat.
