Hause is a small bar and restaurant located on the rooftop of MD Place in Setiabudi. You have a long selection of cocktails, Western and Indonesian food, live music on selected nights, and a hipster vibe. 90% of the crowd is made of twenty-something Indonesians, among which a lot of pretty girls.
The building is only 6 floors high so you don't expect a fantastic view. There are plants and flowers everywhere and it's what I liked the most about Hause. It truly feels like an oasis in the city (especially in that area of Jakarta where you don't have any green spaces). A similar venue is Lucy in the Skye in SCBD.
Apart from the plants, there is really nothing special about the design. It's cute and homey but nothing you've never seen before elsewhere.
My problem with Hause is that the prices are way too high compared to what the place has to offer in terms of food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Rp150,000 for a cocktail? Rp65,000 for bruschetta? Rp85,000 for nasi goreng? That's more expensive than Skye or Loewy.
Overall:
I really think they should either improve the quality of their food or decrease their prices. If not, I don't think I would visit again.
