Jakpost Nightlife: Must-try beerhouses
Jakarta is home to a vibrant nightlife scene, especially for those who prefer to drink beer and hang out with their friends after work while waiting for traffic jams to end.
Beerhouses featuring local, international and mixed beers can easily be found across the capital, especially in the south and central parts. Below are several of the beerhouses in town worth a visit:
Die Stube
Upon entering Die Stube, which literally means living room, visitors may immediately feel like they are in a bar somewhere in Germany. Founded by Patrick Widjaja, who was born and raised in Germany, it indeed maintains the classic atmosphere of the Deutschland.
The place has two areas: a bar and a dining room -- both decorated using accessories and items brought straight from Germany.
Boyong Kedaton Carnival commemorates relocation of Surakarta palace
The city of Surakarta celebrated its 273rd anniversary, highlighted by the Boyong Kedaton Carnival held on Feb. 18. Thousands of people flocked to Jl. Slamet Riyadi, for a 5-kilometer cultural parade from Sriwedari Stadium to Fort Vastenburg in Gladag.
The carnival involved 3,000 performers from performing art groups, military personnel, creative economy communities from 51 villages in Surakarta, and hundreds of workers from the Surakarta palace.
Boyong Kedaton is a carnival depicting the relocation of Kartasura Palace. The establishment of the Surakarta palace is the foundation of the city of Surakarta.
King Pakubuwono II took the kingdom’s household on a march to the new palace in 1745. The Keraton Kartasura itself was destroyed during an attack led by Raden Mas Garendhi, also known as Sunan Kuning, a distant relative of the king. The attack was called Geger Pecinan, started by Chinese insurgents who revolted in Batavia (now Jakarta) and continued to larger part of Java.
Solok Radjo coffee to be exported to US
Solok Radjo coffee, famous for its high quality, has reportedly attracted the foreign market, especially the United States.
Zirma Yusri of the West Sumatra Cooperative and Small, Medium and Large Businesses Agency told Antara that the arabica coffee would be exported to the US starting this year.
“The market started to exist after the coffee was promoted at several exhibitions abroad,” he said in Padang, West Sumatra, on Tuesday.
