Fitzroy (Senopati)

Fitzroy is a bar located in Senopati, just right after Le Quartier restaurant, on Jalan Gunawarman. It is a chilling place with a young crowd (22-25 years old), mostly Indonesians following the hipster/bohemian trend. I went there for a drink on a weekday and it was full.

Fitzroy opened at the end of 2013 and it is starting to be popular in the area. The manager told me the 4 Indonesian owners used to live in Melbourne and they wanted to create the kind of venue they could hangout inside for hours, here in Jakarta. Well the place is indeed cozy with some laid-back sitting areas and a homey decoration. The cocktails are good and not too pricey (around 95 000 Rp for a Mojito). I also tried the food, which is a bit better than the food you would usually find in a bar...

Overall: I recommend Fitzroy for enjoying cocktails and also for the food. The bar is located on the 1st floor of the building and you can take the elevator to get in (the outside sign is quite small actually).
