DIGITAL DETOX IN THE SKY 📵🚀🍜 with Jakarta Friends – Pool, Food, Drinks & View

Fri, Apr 10 · 6:30 PM WIB

Rocket Café Fatmawati, Gedung DKM Lantai Rooftop, Jl. RS. Fatmawati Raya No.01, Jakarta, ID

Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... are you a member of Jakarta Writers yet? Want to see pictures of past events? Take a look here! And feel free to upload a few pictures you will take at the event 😊

JakFri and JakCre is the biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us to join us for this DIGITAL DETOX evening in THE SKY! No phones will be allowed during this event! Let's log off and talk to each other in real life!

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Join this very special event and take a look at luxury cars (Ferrari, Porsches, and more) before heading up to a cozy rooftoop café & resto with a stunning view of the elevated MRT train and the JakSel skyline, have a bite and drink with fellow Jakarta Friends and play a few rounds of free pool (billiard) in this fabulous terrace overlooking the city!

An informal and intimate evening where we favour authentic connections and conversations instead of big, loud group where you don't manage to go past the superficial "where are you from" and "what do you do" questions.

When checking in, everyone will be reminded not to use their phone. This is an event were we disconnect and enjoy each other presence! No phones are allowed for the duration of the event! Will you manage? 😉

This is a unique event with very limited places as the café is small. There's a table reserved for us inside (airco & non-smoking). First-timers are particularly encouraged to join! Reserve your spot today and make sure you update your RSVP if you cannot come. No show = kicked from the group.

Our events are introvert friendly and we favour authenticity! Everyone is always welcome to join our events. For this event, we have chosen a small café with an astonishing view and a delicious and diverse food menu. The location is excellent and the view of the MRT train passing a few meters away is absolutely epic.

At the entrance of the building there is a shop for luxury cars and you are invitated to take a stroll and feel free to buy one 😉 Be prepared to identify yourself with ID at the entrance for security reasons. Then you can head up with the elevator to the rooftop terrace (having both an inside area with airco and outside/smoking area with pool table). A table is reserved for us under the name "MeetUp".

The event starts at 6.30 PM and I strongly recommend to arrive on time. The kitchen closes at 8 PM for the last order. Don't be late and don't miss this opportunity to have an authentic evening with locals and international new friends. We will ask for a split bill and everyone will be paying what they consume. Pool is free!

We have organised this event before!

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Let's play tourists for a day. On March 14th this year, BENDERA PUSAKA PARK was officially opened by the Governor of DKI Jakarta along with Megawati Soekarnoputri, the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia.

This Park in South Jakarta combines three iconic parks—Ayodya Park, Langsat Park, and Leuser Park—into a single, integrated 5.6-hectare green open space (RTH). They have a beautiful Skybridge, free sports facilities + playgrounds, and are open 24 hours.
We'll start from Gate D (in front of Tuang Coffee), and then take a break at Ayodya Park watching the sunset before heading to the restaurant for dinner.

Here is the meeting point:

If you want to join only for dinner at the venue (see below 👇🏽), it's possible, but it's your responsibility to find the group and wait to have a free seat at the restaurant, etc. (the group cannot wait for you!)

We have organised this event before! Take a look here:

• Let's be tourists for one day! Vol. II 🚌 SATURDAY CITY TOUR with JakFri

ABOUT THE VENUE

After exploring the Bendera Pusaka Park, we'll stroll over to an Indonesian cuisine called AROEM (a roughly 5-minute walk). We can choose to order food to share or select individual dishes; we’ll make that decision together when we get there.

FRIDAY NIGHT PIZZA 🍕 with Jakarta Friends

Fri, Apr 17 · 7:30 PM WIB

Pizzeria Zapoli MENTENG, Jl. H. Agus Salim No.60, RT.8/RW.4, Jakarta, ID

Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... are you a member of Jakarta Writers yet? Want to see pictures of past events? Take a look here! And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊

JakFri and JakCre is the biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us for PIZZA NIGHT 🍕 at Zapoli Pizzeria in Menteng!

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT
It's Firday night! Let's have the most delicious Neapoletan pizza in Jakarta at Pizzeria Zapoli in MENTENG. This is a new outlet from Zapoli and around the corner of MRT Bundaran HI.

Neapoletan pizza means soft dough and simple ingredients. The pizza is cooked in a typical wood-fire oven for just a few minutes, and the ingredients remain very fresh.

ABOUT THE VENUE

Here's their IG: https://instagram.com/zapoli

The menu isn't big; the quality is. Pizza starts at around 70k up to around 140k. Pizzeria Zapoli have artisanal soda which is refreshing with the salty, spicy pizza.

The place is 100% Halal. On their Instagram I read "no reservation" and "BYOB" (and your own glass with it). We might need to wait a bit to get a seat.

The restaurant closes at 10 PM and after dinner we can go together to have a drink in a place nearby (location to be decided together).

The place is small, and attendance to this event is limited to 6 persons. If you cannot join, please update your RSVP at least 24h before the event as respect to the organiser and people in the waitlist. No-shows will be kicked out of the group.

Be on time as we want to eat together. Do not be early as we want to eat together. Just come and enjoy the company of new and old Jakarta Friends. Everyone is welcome to join.

As no reservation is possible, we might need to wait a bit until a table big enough for us will be free. From experience, this should not take long.

To register, just click “Attend”! There are a few simple rules

• We kindly ask attendees who cannot manage to join to update RSVP at least 24 h before the event as a courtesy to other attendees and event organisers.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Do names like Madja, KulturAle, Island of Imagination, Kura Kura, Tall Tales, Beer Belly, or Coffeebeerian ring a bell?

If they don't, then this event is exactly for you... to discover something new! This is the DREAM EVENT for all beer lovers in Jakarta. Come to this discovery tour and meet locals and expats who share the passion for beer.

We will visit two unique beer bars in Jakarta, Coffeebeerian and Beer Belly, and try different beers. The event starts at 7.30 pm, but feel free to join later.

We'll gather at 7:30 pm at Coffeebeerian / Cobe Jakarta (https://www.instagram.com/cobejkt), to kick off our evening. Coffeebeerian is the oldest craft beer bar in Jakarta. They offer an excellent variety of tap beers and delicious food. So we can also have dinner there.

After Coffeebeerian, we will head to Beer Belly (https://www.instagram.com/beerbelly.id), which is just a 5-minute walking distance, and end our evening there.
Beer Belly is a new bar with very affordable beer on the bottle, can, and tap, both local and imported. They have regular promos, too. They also have refreshing, homemade coconut water on the menu.
