Jakarta

With the largest population of Muslims in the world, it might be surprising to discover that Indonesia takes a relatively tolerant view of alcohol, and as a result, the bar scene in Jakarta is flourishing. Cocktail bars are becoming a more common sight in the capital, with the “whiskey speakeasy” type of bar enjoying particular popularity. Twists-on-classic-cocktails are all the rage, adding Asian influence to traditional cocktail recipes. Potato Head is the most iconic bar for this, and their Aloe Vera and Pandan Martini is a best-seller.
