    Very cute speak easy bar, and they also have a live music set up here. Suitable if you want to chill out while hang out and chat at the same time

    Nice place and ambiance, but the waiter and the staff are very arrogant. We are not informed through reservation, that the place has dress code for male (trouser). When we arrived at the bar, they shock (literally with loud voice and expression) and other staff came, talked to us with high pitch and cut conversation everytime we tried to give feedback

    One of the best cocktail bars in Jakarta! Be sure to try the signature cocktails -- each one is a well-thought out drink with rich, intricate flavors. They also serve good food!

    Every time I come here, I always sit at the bar. Their service is excellent especially with their bartenders being super attentive, going out of their ways to make sure we have a great experience. Their drinks are strong and tasty. My go to is their tiny but mighty absinthe jelly

    Had the best cocktail drinking experience. Friendly bartenders and very insightful. Love that they gave us a cup of noodle at the end of the night, to sober us up 😆

    Such a fancy place with fancier drinks. A/A Bar delivers it's complexity very well. First major win, the cocktails. I had the Fig Signature Cocktail and the Coriander Signature Cocktail. Fig Signature Cocktail is such an amazing experience to drink. It's base, the brandy, is a citrusy sour slightly sweet and cold drink topped with a very nice, very delicious cheese espuma (cheese foam) which is warm creamy, salty, and savory, served in a double wall glass. This drink has a really nice mouthfeel and very pleasant to drink. My favorite drink here, even though I don't really enjoy whiskey, brandy, and it's derivatives. As for the choice of the glass, I asked why they used a double wall glass because a nice double rocks glass would do wonders for this drink, they answered that the glass might break with the difference of temperature with the cold brandy and the warm foam. Coriander Signature Cocktail is a fantastic drink as well, although not as amazing as it's Fig counterpart. The Coriander cocktail served in a highball glass, with a very floral, very fragrant aroma. It's light and fizzy flavor really compliment each other, boosting each other up instead of fighting for dominance of flavor or scent. It's also sweet and bright, with orange and hints of chocolate on the background. Chamomile Lemonade is a quite decent non alcoholic drink, served in a big wine glass with edible flower as it's garnish. It's floral, bright, and zesty. I feel after drinking such amazing cocktail, this drink kind of feels flat. As the night continues, we also ordered snacks. Sweet Potato Fries and Truffle Bikini Sandwich. Sweet Potato Fries are nice, crispy and tender on the inside. A nice battered fries, but the star here are the aioli. The menu stated that it's just a run of the mill garlic aioli dip, but I tasted and smelled a hint of truffle which gave this dish another layer of complexity. Although I don't quite enjoy truffle, I still find this dish delicious enough. As for the Truffle bikini Sandwich, is a very incredible dish. The sandwich are cut into 4 pieces, which seems enough, but it's not. The sandwich is sweet, savory, salty, has this truffle aroma and taste, crispy toasted bread, and a drizzle of honey on top. Do I mentioned the ham yet? The ham itself is divine. Turns out it was a Serrano Ham which I've never heard of. You might argue that "It's just a bloody sandwich innit?" and you'll be right, but this one is definitely the best sandwich I ever tasted. For now at least. Now for the minor losses, the slightly unsavory practice. Upon entering, we are greeted very warmly and nicely by the hostess and the waitress. We are seated and looking at the virtual menu. The waitress then asked a very normal thing, which is "Do you want to start with water?" and we oblige. Assuming water are mostly free at most speakeasy bar, I assume we would get tap or filtered water, but instead we got a chilled Aqua Reflection drink, which also priced quite hefty there. The waitress didn't mentioned about the price or the nature of the paid water itself, which I don't quite mind purchasing, and since we had a long night, we most definitely going to buy water anyway. Just a minor inconvenience for me. Another very minor losses, the cocktail menu. I'm quite an experienced cocktail drinker, and I still had a hard time reading and understanding the menu. The nature of the ingredients of the cocktails are quite clear and I understand most of them, but it didn't help that the don't have any image whatsoever representing such cocktail. So I can't have any visual expectation, only flavor expectation through the ingredients written on the menu. All in all, the minor losses doesn't quite compare to the very nice experience I had at A/A Bar. I hope I can try all of their very wonderful cocktails.

    Ryan the bartender is super friendly. Came as a lone wolf, they greet me with heartwarming hospitality. I ordered one of their signature cocktails called Shiso, its a mix of Shiso gin-Fennel Soda-Absinthe-Lemon kyuri, surprisingly it's refreshing and I love it. I also ordered their cauliflower wings, made from deep fried cauliflower with mayo dip sauce. Good vibes, classy, and not that noisy. Also, they have dress code rules, smart casual and no sandals for men. Definitely will go back here. They have best deals cocktails promo every 5pm-8pm.

    I came to this bar a few years ago when it wasn't hyped yet. Run by Ismaya group, aspiring to be speakeasy. Décor 4/5 but the ambience is sometimes 2/5, sometimes 5/5. It depends what kinda drinkers you are. I personally like to stay in quiet bars where the music isn't too loud. But A/A is really loud, and ridiculously smoking friendly. Literally everyone in the bar smoked besides me. What was really distressing to see was smoking fumes over the bar. I didn't find that's moderate. Nonetheless, this bar isn't bad - more of bartenders' playground tho - to try light sour-style cocktails. And because of their marketing power, they can also bring big names for guest shift. Yesterday, world champion of 2018 Bannie Kang from Singapore (though she's Korean) housed the AA for a night. Amazing cocktails. Price range for the Cocktails Rp 150-200,000++ If you are a serious drinker - not for inebriation but for sipping to taste - not recommended. But just for loud gathering, probably yes.

    I could say this is one of the best bars in J-town. The place isn't big, but it provides enough space for an intimate experience with friends or colleagues. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, the best thing about this place is their cocktails. The A/A cocktails are absolutely amazing – the taste, the appearance, and even the price are all 10 out of 10. Thank you, Mas Aldo (the bartender), for recommending and making me the Rosé; it's the best cocktail I've ever had. I will definitely come back! 🍸

    a suitable place for TGIF... I really recommend this place for those of you who want to spend time with office colleagues. The location is also strategic and all the waiters are very friendly. Another thing that will make you happy when you visit A/A bar is that you must enjoy the sensation of an extraordinary cocktail.

    To all those cocktail enthusiasts out there. Have you ever had “class in a glass” ?? Hmmm no ? Then you have GOT TO TRY A/A. Imagine walking from a regular Jakarta street and then suddenly feel like you have just time travelled into a New York underground bar with a very sophisticated decor and ambience. As for the drinks….. what ever floats your boat….these experts can literally make anything ! See you at A/A soon !

    A hidden gem of Jakarta, behind closed doors this bar has a great ambiance and mood with a herbal based cocktail menu with each drink being a knock-out. Speak with Kipo or Jeremy from the bar and ask for a recommendation! I'm sure they will be able to help you out!

    Yay to one of my favorite bar in Jkt! Great service, friendly bartenders and waiters, and obviously very geeeeewwdd cocktails. All of the drinks we ordered nothing was failed. We ordered Hibiscsus (tangy and sour, refreshing), Rose (sweet like pudding), Chrysanthemum (gin & chrysanthemum tea haha), and the most recommended one Pandan! Also we get complimentary Indomie!!!! How awesome!!!! Would love to be back here again soon❤️

  • 5/5 Hyeseon 1 year ago on Google
    It was quite difficult to find this bar's enterance because there's no signboard, but good wine needs no bush. Indomie goreng was provided as complementary food. I really enjoyed vibes here and staffs are also nice.

    One of the hidden gems of jakarta the staff are so friendly and polite and helpful. The cocktails are really impressive the food are good. And the music are jazz / slow and thr band can sing pretty much anything you request. Overall high class place and not intended for teenagers who likes load and noisy places this place is the opposite.

    Ordered a negroni and white russian and both were watered down. Would not recommend this place if you are looking for a proper cocktail. Hospitality service was ok. Ambience is as expected from any Ismaya joint. Nice cozy place for a date maybe! Has a great playlist!

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting A/A. The cocktails were not just good but also incredibly delicious and uniquely crafted. The ambience offers a level of privacy and luxury that's hard to find elsewhere. It's the perfect spot for a night out, where you can savor exceptional cocktails and engage in meaningful conversations. A must-visit for anyone!

😠 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 🤮
