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

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 Creatives 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 oldest, biggest, 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!

You can browse all future events and all past events of Jakarta Friends take a look at pictures of previous events to get a sense of the vibe of our group!

FRIDAY NIGHT PIZZA 🍕 with Jakarta Friends

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 Creatives 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, 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.

HOW TO REGISTER TO THE EVENT?

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.

Let's go to BALI (Bali Coffee, Ayam Bali)! ☕🍗 with BOOK SWAP! 📚

Bali Coffee Club Jakarta, Jl. Lebak Bulus I No.2, Kota Jakarta Selatan, ID

🚨 This is a special joint event of Jakarta Creatives & Jakarta Friends! You don't need to register to both events to attend. We will have a book swap, too! First-timers can go home with a book for free! 🚨

Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... are you a member of Jakarta Creatives 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 😊

JakCre and JakFri is THE oldest, biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us for this BALI DAY IN JAKARTA! We will have Bali Coffee and Balinese Chicken while having an (optional) book swap!

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

We won't actually go to Bali, sadly, but we will visit two wonderful Bali-style places in Jakarta! The setting is very simple: We will hang out for coffee in the morning while having an (optional) book swap and then head for lunch together.

Newcomers are particularly welcomed! We are a very friendly and inclusive community.

We first gather at 10 AM at Bali Coffee Club in Lebak Bulus, a lovely Bali-style caffee (@balicoffeeclub). We will chit chat and get to know each other, have some great Balinese coffee. There's a lovely open terrace on top, spacious and quiet, with many tables. There's also plenty of air-co rooms where we can sit down and chill.

While we are chilling with coffee, we will have a book swap! How does a book swap work? See below! This is optional and firsttimers can go away with a book for free!

There's no strict arrival time (macet macet) and people are welcome to arrive anytime until around 12.00 PM...

..at which time we will see how many people want to go to dinner, and call for a reservation at our dinner venue... an authentic Bali-style resetaurant! It's a delicious, new place nearby called Warung Bali Pak Gede (@warungbalipakgede). There's a lovely non-smoking terrace, too. If you come by car, both places have abundant parking.

At around 12.00 PM we will move to the Balinese resto. It's only 10-minute distance by walk, so let's go by walk! Or go by car or Goride... Your choice!

🚨 If you arrive after 12.00 PM without letting us know that you want to join for lunch, too, you might not be able to get a spot at the table. 🚨

There's no split bill at Bali Warung so bring cash or be ready to do a transfer to the person who takes over the bill. I'd recommend you to bring mosquito repellent with you.

How does a book swap work?

It's simple! Come with a book, leave with a book. As a firstimer, you can go away with a (extra) book for free! You don't need to take part in the book swap, if you don't want to.

There are two simple rules:

1. You need to come with a book
2. You leave with a book (it's not a lend, it's a swap!)
3. You can come with more than one book of course: You come with X books & you leave with X books!

Perhaps you need some inspiration on your next book. Or maybe you just want to mingle with fellow book lovers and talk about literature?

Bring your favourite book, a book you hated, that book you never read, a book you have twice, a book you could not go past 20 pages, a book you read too many times, or a book which is just meh. It doesn't matter which one. We will sit down and exchange books! Come with a book, leave with a book!

I recommend to bring a book in English, but if you don't have any, a book in any language will do.

For any question not answered in the event descirption feel free to DM the organiser.

We have done these events before! Take a look here:
