    So basicly you have to order first , its like one person one drink for entering. Bintang will cost you 115K IDR(95K +tax 9.5K+pb1 10.450). The staff was hurry-ing me to order without even a chance to see the menu & They will hold your every bottle that you have, name it your thumbler, lock and lock, aqua, except laptop and any other electronic device. Motorcycle park available. Car park by vallet.

    Honestly there are many bar in Jakarta. but most of bar are similar with each other, not many difference.... but here is different. first of all, they are playing music of Rock. and the interior is inspiring me american bar watched in the movie. I loved music at the bar. from 90's rock to metal rock. it's really nice place to go alone and enjoy the bar with beer. bar is at the lower ground floor, and the gate is not easy to find out from outside. just follow the people go, will lead you here.

    The crowd and ambience were good. They provided rock and alternative music. But for some people, it might be bothering because it feels like a "teenage" bar. Also, the waiters and bartender service was bad. They  should give training to staff to be more supple.

    Love to come here on Wednesday and Thursday night, the crowd and drinks are nice. But last week on synchronize pre event I ordered vodka cranberry and was too drunk to ask for my change, unfortunately the barista also forgot it. Great karaoke playlist after all.

    My go-to place for night out with the girlies. Never fails to make me ruminate if I were a sardine in my past life because of how much I adore the place despite its crampiness. Regulars are incredibly friendly but please remain cautious still. I was once harrased online and doxxed by someone I met here because they thought I flirted with their significant other. 💀 (Best bar in town, nevertheless!) Expect to find me wheeping here after a tragic life event.

    This bar is actually fulfill all the checklist of my kind of bar: hidden underground, dark, eclectic, unglamorous, small, rock n roll music. Hence this is my favorite dive bar in Jkt by far, reminds me of the time I spent in NYC dive bars when I was young(er). The only downsides… it is overcrowded on weekends, too much smokes (poor air circulation system), and recently the crowd is too young (bocil SMA). Not as good as before. But overall I love this place. Rock on!

    One of the best dive bar in Jakarta. Great ambience and crowd. Good place to hang out and sing along to the music since the dj played a good playlist. Came here for the live karaoke session on thursday night. And also rock alternative music on wednesday night. Played guilty pleasure songs sometimes. Located in the basement. Provided a valet service

  • 3/5 Dzikra R. 1 year ago on Google
    The place and crowd are cool but the drink order procedure doesn't make sense and is also not convenient at all! You have to walk to the front and wait in uncertain line for your drink and there's a significant distance so lack of communication affects the time. So maybe management should plan a better efficient procedure.

    Good dive bar around Jakarta area which provide rock and alternatives music. Came here always for karaoke night, love the ambience, place quite small so be ready for the crowd. Average prices for alchohol, great beers and shots! Will be back again for sure.

    Wondered why this bar had empty seats at 11PM on a Saturday night and found out the DJ played Justin Bieber non stop. Badly at that too, they kept f-ing up the transition it was actually hilarious. Speaker quality wasn’t very good either. I had one drink and got the f outta there.

  • 5/5 Benhard 1 year ago on Google • 116 reviews
    Decent bar with a great drink. Love the vibes here and the bartender is friendly. Location is on gunawarman street. Come here with special lady so I may be subjective hahaa. Gonna back again someday try other drink. Thanks for the service. I hope there are more chair for the side bar. The music was loud so not a great place for lots of chat.

    My first visit wasn't good. The place is ok but at 7 pm on Saturday the place was completely empty. I couldn't experience the atmosphere of a pub in Jakarta, which is what I wanted. To be fair, it's probably not the bar's fault. Maybe I'll give it another try on a different day but next time I'll try to go later. According to Google the place is more busy around 10-11 pm. Will try again and edit my review if I have a better experience next time.

  • 3/5 dennis 5 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Music was ok on a friday night. The crowd looked like a mosh pit.. fun if you like that kind of stuff. Not a relaxing spot. They only take debit so that's a big minus

  • 4/5 kay 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    sometimes it’s too packed and it’s hard for you to move. but this place is nice. the drinks are cheaper than most bars in south jakarta. nice vibe.

  • 4/5 Akira D. 5 years ago on Google
    Quite a new place around the area. It offers a 'sports bar' concept with the atmosphere resembling a bikers bar. Great place since there is no other place like it nearby. A lot of drinks and food to choose from with reasonable price. Also nice music choices. The only slight drawback is it should have been bigger to accommodate more people

  • 5/5 Amelia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, great beverages, great ambiance, great crowd. You can sing along with a good playlist, different days different genres/themes. What else you wanna know? Just experience it by yourself. Sorry I don't have any photos cause I enjoyed my timeeeeee

  • 4/5 Evalyne H. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is good. Clean bathroom. Good bar. But many times it was too crowded because the place is not large enough. But idk maybe this is their selling point. Always enjoy my time there though.

  • 3/5 HENRYFADJRI -. 1 year ago on Google
    If it is your first time here, the place is quite hidden, it is located in the basement. On the weekend, it's packed, mostly teenagers. The bar brands itself as a rock and roll themed bar yet not exclusively playing rock music all the time, occasional oldies pop tunes are being played as well. There are a variety of choices for drinks with south jakartans price (i.e. 80k ish for small local beer) but limited choices of food. It's a small space and the staff are quite pushy to ask you to buy drinks which makes me quite uncomfortable.

  • 5/5 Nadya K A. 1 year ago on Google
    I call it as a sanctuary. An escape place to relieve the stress away. This bar always has the ambience that I’m looking for. I used to go to this bar alone yet I always make friends afterwards. The bartenders are always friendly and they have best liquor recommendation based on your personal preferences ❤️

  • 5/5 Alex P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want have a fun evening at an underground bar, this is the place to be. The day I went there, there was a DJ playing- was good music. The place is not for a non-smoker. It's a closed underground bar where everyone smokes so for people who don't smoke it might very difficult.

    (Translated by Google) If you like karaoke or live music together, you can, you can reserve or order a table, this is when the night is full, the bar is rather small and really crowded. If you park the car later in the vallet too (Original) Kalau suka karaoke atau live music bareng bisa nih, bisa reservasi atau pesan meja, ini kalau malam emang penuh sih cmn barnya agak kecil dan crowded banget. Kalau parkir mobil nanti vallet juga

    Cool, classy but unpretentious upscale live rock and indie bar. Just wish Smoking laws same as rest of SEA.

  • 4/5 Angeline B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great underground place for lazy karaoke. It is always packed with people especially young workers after office hours. You can sing along to sets of crowd pleaser songs from generations, the projector will show the lyrics so it is really fun experience. Just be prepared to wash your hair after that since it is in basement and people smoke inside.

  • 4/5 Diandra Z. 4 years ago on Google
    the place was unique, it has a well suited decorated - punk theme. the price here is not significantly different from others, but the atmosphere brings friends together

  • 5/5 Kalen I. 4 years ago on Google
    Pretty sweet place to party, playing a mix of rock and indie rock songs, in a speakeasy type atmosphere. They played a few Australian indie rock bands which was cool too. Crowd is mostly upper class Indonesians, assumedly who have studied overseas, but the vibe is good. Wish the DJ would play my request though!

  • 5/5 Angel W. 4 years ago on Google
    None like this! Biko group always has a great taste! But really really sad i can't have a karaoke night anymore these days! Hopefully you guys have home delivery services for imported craft beer like Dead Guy and Mirror Pond.

  • 4/5 TheGarisification 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place but small parking lot, you might need a vallet parking service to park your car. No access for wheelchair, moderate price not much variety for food.

  • 5/5 Immanuel Giras P. 3 years ago on Google
    If you love dive bar with 90's music, this one is the place to go. One of the best bar with great crowd in Jakarta.

  • 4/5 Andrew E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Last come here with friends, I think you have to come a bit early or reserve first because you are really lining up. The service from the waitress was ok, respond quickly. The songs that are played and the hotdogs are ok (Original) Terakhir kesini bareng temen kayaknya harus dateng agak pagian ato udah reserve duluan karena ngantri banget. Service dari waitressnya ok, cepet tanggap. Lagu2 yang diputerin dan hotdognya lumayan ok

    (Translated by Google) Thursday was messed up thanks to karaoke night, standing was answered. If not karaoke, the genre is more like rock bands. If you're into Macarena and Zumba then it won't fit you well (Original) Kamis terkacau thanks to karaoke night, standing pun dijabanin. Kalau ngga karaoke genrenya lebih ke band2 rock gitu sih.

    (Translated by Google) Asik actually the song that is played does not stub. But it seems that the limited capacity is so full when I want to go out until even waiting. But outside of that, it's so cool. (Original) Asik sebenernya lagu yang diputer nggak stub-stub. Cuma kayaknya kapasitas yang terbatas jadi penuh sesek banget juga pas mau keluar pun sampe ngantre. Tapi di luar itu, asoy lah.

  • 5/5 Iqbal N. 4 years ago on Google
    One of not so many bars or clubs that doesn't play EDM or any other kind of music that you'd normally found in other bars/clubs. Instead they played rock, alternative, or other rock genres. They also host some of the coolest partys and karaoke nights. The atmosfer in Duck Down is pretty wild, sticker bombed wall, people writings on their toilet walls and random places around the vicinity. The pricing is quite decent and their selection of beverages is spot on. Since Duck Down is the one of the hippest place in Jakarta, expect the place to be fully packed in pretty much any day of the week.

😠 Terrible place. Waitress who wears glasses was just rude so much. Horrible service, unfriendly waitress. Seems no training for employees and customers are nothing for this pub. Finally I just left. Do not waste your time and gas. Just find another one. This one is yucky so much 🤮
