Congo Bar, located on the second floor of ESA at SCBD Park, is Jakarta’s newest destination for crafted cocktails and vibrant rhythms. This jungle-themed bar offers a refreshing escape from the urban buzz, blending exotic flavors with immersive beats. Inspired by the wild, Congo Bar’s innovative cocktail menu takes patrons on an adventurous journey, with each drink crafted to reflect a distinct animal.
A Wildly Curated “Animal” Menu
Congo Bar introduces a unique “Animal” menu, divided into four sections: Monkey, Elephant, Leopard, and Python. Each category showcases distinct flavors and ingredients, designed to match the personality of its namesake animal. This creative division offers something for everyone, from fruity and fizzy concoctions to savory, floral notes.
Monkey Section: Bold and Playful
For those seeking playful flavors, the Monkey section delivers bold yet balanced cocktails. One standout is the “Not a Kate Moss,” a cocktail that brings together East Indies pandan gin, pandan gum, citrus, albumin, and a surprising twist of grated cheese. The result? A cocktail that offers a sour, floral, and savory experience that will surprise your palate.
Elephant Section: Smooth and Floral
In the Elephant section, expect smooth, delicate flavors with a touch of elegance. The “Mammoth Fizz” is a prime example. This cocktail combines honey butter bourbon, jasmine tea gum, magic lime, coconut water soda, and melon foam, creating a fruity, fizzy, and slightly floral drink that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Python Section: Savory with a Bite
For a more complex, savory option, the Python section is where you’ll find adventurous flavors. The “Snape Tales” is a unique cocktail made with East Indies sesame-fat washed gin, pandan vermouth, and Campari. It offers a sophisticated profile with savory, floral, and bitter nutty elements—ideal for those who appreciate bold, intricate flavors.
An Immersive Atmosphere with Rhythmic Beats
Congo Bar is not just about the drinks. The bar’s jungle-inspired décor and rhythmic beats create an immersive atmosphere perfect for unwinding and socializing. Whether you’re there to explore the exotic cocktail menu or to enjoy the vibrant vibe, Congo Bar promises a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of SCBD.
For a night filled with adventurous flavors and lively ambiance, Congo Bar at ESA is a must-visit spot in Jakarta.
