Exquisite Taste

TASTEFUL EVENINGS IN The City

A happening nightlife hangout with cool live music and great drinks

- – By Amanda O’Connor

RTL, or Regional Tasting Lounge, is an elegantly moody destinatio­n with an upscale vibe in the heart of the city, perfectly located for today's young profession­als and the nightlife crowd. With walls lined with bottle racks and a bustling bar manned by busy mixologist­s, RTL is a cool place for serious drinkers and those looking to hang out with friends and while away the evening over fun drinks, bar snacks, light meals and live music. The concept is simple; every day except Sunday, RTL is open from 6pm for the on-the-way-home after-work crowd, while epic live bands and happening DJs provide great toe-tapping music later in the evening that tempts the dancelovin­g to the dance floor. Under the dim lighting, a multitude of sofa booths, chairs and low tables provide cosy areas for friends to gather and imbibe the extensive range of whiskies, single malts and wines, as well as serious cocktails, from classics to in-house creations. The exclusive private room that seats up to 20 is so popular with regulars that it is often pre-booked for weeks ahead.

RTL holds plenty of special promotiona­l evenings, like its recent The Shining Halloween Night featuring Girlsquad, when funds were raised to support the people of Palu. Girl's and Gentlemen's Night Out offers live music and free flow on certain spirits from 7pm to 10pm, while Saturday's are SOBER, or Saturdays Of Being Entirely Ready, with live music to sing and dance to.

The food is South American, supplied by the popular Lalla, which is just next door. Ranging from the ever-popular Chipotle Chicken Bitterball­s to scrumptiou­s tacos, smoked mahi-mahi with pomegranat­e and hand-cut fries with chipotle salt, pulled pork ribs and queso asado, there is sure to be something to keep you going through the lively evening.

Also available for focused, exclusive corporate gatherings, product launches, fashion shows, music events and parties, RTL Jakarta can host between 150 and 200 guests.
