Libros Jakarta
A new concept that celebrates tipples with literature arrives in Jakarta, high above the bustle. CasaLeña’s third floor glows with its own rhythm, inviting guests to a space designed for lingering conversations and crafted cocktails. At Libros, shelves of books line the walls, and the atmosphere borrows the vintage cocktail culture from Latin American lounges.
Within this backdrop, gatherings take on their own shape. The bar’s 60‑guest capacity allows for birthdays, brand launches, or private celebrations, with sofa corners and bar seating arranged to suit the mood. Flexibility is built into the design, ensuring each occasion feels tailored without losing Libros’ character.
As the rhythm continues through the week, Libros sets the soundtrack. Thursdays pulse with Tech House and Progressive, Fridays glide on R&B grooves, and Saturdays spark with karaoke and chart‑topping favourites. Each evening carries its own energy, balanced by a warm and intentional atmosphere. Guests can even shape the night themselves—bringing their own DJ or choosing from Libros’ selected playlists. The guiding ethos is clear: Your night. Your rules. Our bar.
Behind the bar, Ozy Ahmad tells stories in liquid form. His cocktail program respects the classics but adds inventive twists with signature creations such as Spicy Mathilda and Coco and the Coconut. Premium spirits and curated bites complete the experience, ensuring every glass feels considered.
With its literary‑inspired design and curated cocktails, Libros establishes itself as a destination for those who want their nights in Jakarta to unfold with stories worth retelling.
