I am old enough to remember the fabulous Bugils bar in what was then Taman Ria Senayan. It was a staple with the European expat crowd and the current Cazbar in Mega Kuningan is very much an offspring of Bugils. We spend an enjoyable couple of hours here, having a couple of beers and some food from their updated menu. I am glad to see that they have brought back some of the Dutch favorites, including a proper frikandel speciaal (with onion, mayo and curryketchup, as it is supposed to be) and bitterballen that are way better than in most other places in town. Now all we still need is a Van Dobben kroket and a kapsalon. That would really make the menu complete. The menu contains an otherwise decent selection of bar snacks, pastas, pizzas, and local and international favorites. Cazbar, like Bugils back then, is a great place to hang out with friends and it is always nice to go back there and enjoy the cozy living-room style interior with dark wood panels of a typical Dutch pub. It’s really an evening in Europe at more affordable prices. I don’t really care for the occasional live music: Cazbar is a charming place just by itself.

Came at monday night. Cazbar has a cozy Irish bar vibe, perfect for hanging out and unwinding. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, great for casual conversations and spending time with friends. The place feels comfortable without being too crowded or noisy. Definitely a nice spot to chill and enjoy the evening. The service was so so.

MOSTLY GOOD EXCEPT SERVICE, ESPECIALLY MANAGERS Location - It's inside Menarah Anugrah in Mega Kuningan area Parking - Slightly tight spots, but if you tip the security guard can get bang on nearby. Ambience - Ok. Live music on top floor, but then it's difficult to talk. We once moved down again. On lobby level, music turns up after 9pm, don't know why they need such high decibels when people come here to talk too and not just for music. Can be a bit lower Food Menu and Taste - Good range for a bar. Don't expect to have fancy dinner menu. Pizza, fries, Wings , etc The food taste is good although Pizza is like always 30 mins Service - Now, this is where it's absolutely pathetic. I hv been here 6 times in past 3 months and this doesn't inprove. Last time I was here on Friday 16 and the manager in black dress who gave us the bill is full of ego. Rudely handing over bill, no smile, no thank you. ... Wow!! Racist i guess Got Pizza but no plates for 3 ppl , no sauces , pepper, tobasco. They keep tables reserved but people don't turn up 1. Time reserved till 10pm, no one turned up then I insisted to give us that table 2. 1 person booked table of 4. He went out for an hour and table was empty. Whole time just sitting alone. This keeps happening every time. Price - Typical Jakarta bar. Expect to spend 300K pp WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE GOING AND RECOMMENDATION IS NAH!!

Frankly, I love this place because of the chill vibes + the food that never fails. I come here every week because of their hospitality. The service is undeniably good & the waitresses/waiters always remember my request without my having to ask. If you’re not into live music you have the option to sit downstairs. Personally I enjoy the casual pub atmosphere compared to more “hype” bars where you have to RSVP. If you’re new to Jakarta you should really stop by👍

Great ambiance, coming here weekday night and got a poor staff service (from the a female staff downstairs — was too casual and referring group of my friends quite rudely)
