CRAFT BEER NIGHT 🍻 with Jakarta Friends

Fri, Apr 24 · 7:30 PM WIB

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 JakWri are the oldest, biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta …and we invite you to join us for this Craft Beer Night in two of the finest beer bars in the city!🍻 Discover new beers with the help of the bar staff and share your passion with fellow beer lovers.

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

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 have organised this event plenty of times before! You can see a few past events here:

• Craft Beer Night (Oct 2025)
• Craft Beer Night (Sept 2025)
• Craft Beer Night (May 2025)
• Craft Beer Night (Mar 2025)
• Craft Beer Night (Oct. 2023)
• ...or see all past events of JakFri here!

ABOUT THE VENUES

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.

We won't have a shared bill. Just pay what you order. You do not have to drink beer, of course: you can also join us just for the company and drink whatever else you prefer.
