There are so many types of alcohol drinks, from rum, wine, tequila, beer, to whiskey. For you whisky lovers, here are 5 best whiskey bars in Jakarta you should drink at to satisfy your individual palate.
1. Bauhaus 1933
This nightclub’s location is pretty covert, its nondescript wrought iron entrance is the only thing that gives it away. The stairs lead you down into an underground lair, where a vintage and European-feeling speakeasy bar awaits to while away your evening hours.
If you looking for great whiskey, try their single malts from Scotland’s high and lowlands. Japanese single malts, Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hakashi are also on the menu.

3. Prohibition Chophouse & Speakeasy Bar
If you are around Senayan area and want to drink whiskey, then Prohibition is a place for you to go.
Prohibition is divided into two separated areas, the chophouse which is Prohibition’s main dining area, and a hidden speakeasy bar which is concealed and restricted for members only. By looking at the interior, menu, and elaborate list of alcoholic drinks, you can see that Prohibition is duly committed to the underground spirit in the 1920s.
You can find many variants of whiskies here, from USA, Japan, Ireland, Australia to Canada. But, Johnnil Walker XR is definitely a must-try. With a regular live music, Prohibition would become the most talked-about clandestine bar in town.
