Jakarta is filled with amazing restaurants and bars, but sometimes we feel bored with the same concept and want something more. After a long day working and when meeting up with friends, it feels most comfortable choosing a rooftop bar. At certain times, Jakarta can have some amazing metropolitan views. So here are five rooftop bars in Central Jakarta not only comfortable but also have extraordinary view.

1. La Vue Rooftop Bar
Located in Central Jakarta, La Vue Rooftop Bar offers unmatched 360º view of the city you would not find elsewhere. The bar located on the 9th floor of The Hermitage.is spread across two floors. The bar is downstairs, squirming nicely beside the hotel’s swimming pool, and the lounge is on the rooftop.

The alcoholic drink selections are quite diverse. You can try their Cheesecake Creamy cocktail which is indeed very creamy, but tastes more like an Oreo frappe with a hint of baileys. Or you can opt for the La Berrie’s, a sweet cocktail rich with blackberry and grape chunks. As a companion, you can choose Tapas Platter Selection contains patatas bravas, calamari, chicken wings, croquette, and lumpia semarang, with its bountiful sauce is an indelible affair.

2. BART
BART offers an air of luxury, a seventh floor rooftop sanctuary mixing lively atmosphere, hospitality and panoramic views of the leafy residential district of Menteng and the glass and marble corridor of Jalan Thamrin and beyond. The rooftop bar in Central Jakarta is spacious with plenty of seats available in the open air and a small private room with air conditioning. The interior is a smooth execution of monochromic theme that projects an “uptown chicness” feel across the whole space.

BART offers a diverse option of alcoholic drinks, from signature cocktails with tempting names such as Sweet Kisses and Bye-Gone (not the insect repellent) to cognac and whisky. For the food, the place will serve you with Western and Asian finger foods. To begin with, fried enoki mushroom, which is thinly sliced into a floss-like texture, is the crowd-pleaser.

First established in 2012, Skye is one of the oldest rooftop bars in Jakarta. It is divided into two areas, an outdoor lounge for chilling out and an indoor restaurant for dinner. The restaurant itself is divided into two areas, Moon (smoking) and Sun (non-smoking). Visitors should take the elevator to the 56^th floor either from the BCA Tower building or East Mall Grand Indonesia.

Both the lounge and restaurant are open at 16.00 with different closing times. The lounge is open until 01.00 from Sunday to Thursday and 02.00 on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant is available until 23.00 from Sunday to Thursday and 00.00 on Friday and Saturday. It is highly recommended to make a reservation beforehand, especially if you plan to hang out in the lounge’s sofa area.

Both the lounge and restaurant offer the same menu, but main courses, such as the steak, can only be enjoyed in the restaurant. For snacks, they have chicken wings, which are seasoned with Sriracha and their special sauce, and tuna feuilette, finely sliced tuna on a crispy tortilla. For drinks, they offer the sweet and sour Skye Sour, the fresh and powerful Dragon Fruit Margarita, Tropical Mojito and Ginger Mojito.
