$ $ $ $   |   Jakarta, Indonesia

In the heart of the Sudirman district lies one of its best-kept secrets. Hidden behind an unassuming sliding door, Koda reveals itself as an elegant speakeasy tucked among the city's soaring skyscrapers.

 

Helmed by Japanese bartender Yutaka Nakashima, Koda embodies a blend of minimalist luxury and masterful mixology. Warm wooden walls, red velvet stools, supple leather sofas, and low, moody lighting evoke the quiet sophistication of a Ginza bar.

Koda's signature lies in its Dealer's Choice program, where guests are invited to tailor their drink by selecting preferred elements—flavor profile (sweet, sour, bitter, herbal, etc.), style, and alcohol strength. From there, Nakashima crafts a bespoke cocktail, offering a truly personal and memorable experience. Widely considered a standout on Jakarta's cocktail scene, Koda elevates the evening with its intimate design and a mixology philosophy rooted in precision, creativity, and guest connection—delivering an unforgettable night, one tailored sip at a time.
