A place to mingle?

Hi Plaindot ! Welcome back to Indonesia, hope you are making lots of new friends who are into arts or not

Try Molly Malone's in Arcadia building, you can play pool there with random people, they have live music aswell. I can PM you some of the contacts from here who wouldnt mind another hang out buddy. Lol
I organize gatherings for the forum members but only when I'm town, which means once or twice a year. But I'll be glad to share some contacts with you.

Hi

I have just moved to Jakarta and have the same problem. I mostly try to connect with people through my work network. Pizza Ibira in Plaza Indonesia, Melly's at Jalan Jaksa is normally where I have found nice conversations. There is this great english tour at the museum national which was great starter for me and I highly recommend it!. Social House in Grand Indonesia is also pretty nice. A great coffee place in central jakarta is anomali copi at Plaza Indonesia.

I hope that helps!

I can very much relate to your and Sharpshooter's case. Social House sounds nice, is it a bar?

I should go to Melly's next time! And Social house is a restaurant, i think it has bars, but I'm not sure if I can find conversation partner there

Social house is more of a restaurant than a bar. Even though they're close late, but all the tables are separated which makes it difficult to mingle. People come there with their friends.

I suggest bars like Molly Malone, Murphy, EP, Aphrodite, Cazbar or Fez. There you can easily play pool with others, or watch some live music performance :-)

Hello,

There are some nice cafes to have come chit chat in Plaza Senayan; Monolog, Union and Djournal cafe in Grand Indonesia. Good place, nice crowds.

Reading room in Kemang timur is nice place as well for quiet reading times and chatting up with interesting people on politics, social issues, and other general stuff. The boss has a great collection of books and is a film maker/director. Good ambiance.

I went past by reading room many times on my way to Coffee War, I should try that sometime! I love books Thanks Carol!

Hi plaindot,
Actually a lot of good place to eat and hangout in Jakarta. However, to meet new people may be quite difficult, because they usually go and interact with their friends. To meet new people, maybe I can suggest you to go to the country club. Most likely you'll be able to meet with some professionals in there.
Btw, nice to have you back in jakarta

Oh yea, I went there a couple of times. Free internet access, nice and cozy place to relax.

Hooray, i got new places to see
Thanks for info everyone!

Sorry for picking up this thread late

Cazbar is my favourite for meeting people in a social setting, mixed Indonesian/ Expat crowd and good music Tues/Fri/Sat

Otherwise i'd join the pool for non pool players events

Good luck
