Many people consider, with good reason, that Ali’s Bar and Restaurant is just for Africans. Certainly, the majority of the patrons here are from the Dark Continent, but the there are also a spattering of Indonesians and Europeans.

As Simon Pitchforth points out, "Africans elsewhere in Jakarta tend to be, for various reasons, slightly suspicious of their Jaksa-frequenting brethren, but at least Ali’s plays infectious African pop music and has a party atmosphere."

The atmosphere in Ali’s Bar and Restaurant is quite different to the others in Jalan Jaksa; the music, patrons, décor ....

Ali’s Bar and Restaurant opens from 10am to 12am every day, with reasonable prices for soft drinks and food.
