Camden Bar

Jakarta


Behind the bland wall facing a side street, this bar is a fine place to retreat for an evening. You can chill in the woodsy air-con lounge or take in the air outside on the terrace. Beer prices are good and there's a wide range of cocktails, Scotch, bourbon and single malt whiskies, plus a range of bar food.
