Head up a flight of stairs to Bar Gina which welcomes guests with a psychedelic neon lamp in the shape of a woman. Located in trendy Senopati, this bar embraces an empowered-feminist-concept and is ideal for individuals who want to express themselves through speech – and their drinks.

Bar Gina is nestled on the floor above Aromanis Restaurant on Jalan Suryo. An electronic disco song, Beam Me Up from from Midnight Magic is the true definition for this liberating establishment soon after it opens its doors at 6 p.m.

A lit up mural, a reimagined version of Da Vinci’s “Last Supper”, features female icons including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Yayoi Kusama and Queen Elizabeth. The subtle synthesis from Gina’s logo – martini inside a peach – seen from the stage is emblematic of women’s liberation. Bar Gina is inspired by female-only bars overseas in response to harassment and misogynistic behaviour at such location. The bar is not only for female guests though; everybody is welcome without judgement and societal expectations. Simply put, this is a bar for the unique and playful individual.

Here, one can indulge in pure spirits including Jameson Whiskey, Hennessy Cognac, Johnnie Walker and Don Julio. Those looking from classic drink, there are choice for wine, beer and not to forget, dirty martini. Among Gina’s nine signature craft cocktails are: Konichiwa Bitches (sour and refreshing take of gin), Green Goddess (Basil infused with Tequila), and Between Moods (pandan infused with White Rum), just to name a few.

Gina is a place for self-expression where people can sing along to live performances. There is also a karaoke space.
