One of the best things about living in Jakarta is that you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to enjoying the city’s nightlife. With so many different cultures, nationalities, and personal preferences, it’s no wonder that there are countless amounts of nightclubs, discotheques, and bars across the city offering different experiences for different amounts of money. Latin Music Bars, in particular, have become an icon in itself in Jakarta. Elements of music originating from Spain, Portugal, and South America have made their way into Jakarta’s pubs—ready for the citizens to explore them. So today, we’re listing five best Latin music bars in Jakarta to enjoy what they have to offer.
Albero Music Bar and Lounge
Albero Music Bar and Lounge offers visitors the enjoyment of being in an authentic Latin bar—presented carefully in the form of this nightspot with a stage for live band performances. The first thing you’ll think of when you first visit this place is that it resembles most Latin pubs heavily. It’s pretty cozy, but you’ll have to reach the second floor of the Forest Cafe and Resto to get to this place.
Music
Once the clock hits ten, live music starts to play in this lounge. Sometimes they play soul or upbeat Latin music to satisfy customers.
Food and Drinks
Oh, and why not accompany the easygoing vibe with their wide selection of food and beverages? From martinis, wines, to spirits, Albero serves the customers with heartfelt hospitality. We highly recommend trying one of their masterpieces, the Green Leaf. For food, however, we also recommend their Philly Steak Sandwich.

Tiga Puluh Music Bar and Lounge
Our first impression; we think that this place is really comfortable—with carpeting, chillout vibe, and an overall nice atmosphere. The area is well-lit with modern design. The place is separated into two; one is the bar area where you can enjoy yourself with your friends accompanied by a glass of a cocktail of your choice. The bar area also offers a widescreen for viewing sports broadcasts, as well as pool tables, should.
Music
The other one is the main stage where all the live music is performed. International or local artists have been jamming in the bar. All types of music are being played. In this area, there’s also the sofa area for reserved VIPs—designed to observe the live music more closely, offering an unmatched experience.
Food and Drink
For food, we recommend their Buffalo Mozzarella if you’re into that cheesy-savory goodness. Paired with a glass of the Caracas signature cocktail, we can almost be certain that nothing can ruin your evening!

Amigos Bar & Cantina
A bar with rustic, Mexican decor serving Tex-Mex food? Yes please! Amigos Bar & Cantina sports the conventional Latin decor and color palette on every inch of their place. The feel of tradition and old-styled atmosphere really takes on this place. They also hold various Mexican events! If you’re looking to have a nice grub, nice drinking (but not too much), and an overall chillout rustic vibe, Amigos is the place to go! It’s a great place to have fun on a Friday night after a long day of work.
Music
Visitors can enjoy live music every night in Amigos, sometimes they also have open-mic sessions. Live musics that are played are random, but during the day, they play Mexican beat and Latin music.
Food and Drink
They serve beers in small bottles, medium ones, or in pitchers. Handcrafted Mocktails like the popular Virgin Mojito or the Virgin Margarita are also available. But, if you’re looking forward to being a little tipsy for the night, then we recommend Anejo Margarita, or top it all off with the Jose Cuervo-induced 1800 Bloody Maria.
