1914 Surabaya (Complete Review)

Prepare yourself… Because this post about 1914 Surabaya is going to be one hell of a post! (with a lot of pictures)

1914 Surabaya

1914 Surabaya history :

This building was built by architect Fritz Joseph Pinedo Pinedo (assisted by JJ van Dongen) in 1913. In 1967, this place was named CCCL, it is the representative office of the French Consulate General in Surabaya. After that, CCCL Surabaya moved in 2012, then the building was renovated in 2013 and is used by 1914 Surabaya until now.(www.1914surabaya.com)

First of all, I want to tell you guys that 1914 is a huge place, it has restaurants and bars, 
and I will show all of them one by one to you ^^

HABANA Whiskey & Cigar Bar

A gentleman’s indulgence, serving Surabaya’s finest selection of cigars and tobacco products, along with a whisky bar, serving fine whiskeys, aged rums, and cognacs. (www.1914surabaya.com)

You can go to the Habana Whiskey Bar straight from the lobby, it is located right next to the main entrance. But unfortunately, when I came, it was still noon, the whiskey bar haven’t opened yet, so I took this one photo from their website

Habana also has a Cigar Bar. If you come inside from the main entrance, you will see the hallway, and on the right side after the giant paintings, you will find the Cigar Bar

This is the inside of Habana Cigar Bar

CONSULAT Lounge & Martini Bar

Consulat Lounge & Martini Bar offers the latest international snacking foods on small sharing plates. Guaranteed to offer Surabaya’s most complete wine selection, the wine cellar boasts a long wine tasting table for up to 12 packs. (www.1914surabaya.com)

If we go back to the hallway, Consulat Lounge & Martini Bar is placed right in front of the Habana Cigar Bar

If they really offer the most complete wine selection, then this is the perfect place for wine lovers out there.

If we go back again to the hallway, the first room on the right side of the hallway is Chicago VIP Dining Room

And at the end of the hallway, you will see the Main Dining Room

On the left side of the dining hall, there are two doors, the first one is a door to Chicago VIP Julep Bar

On the second door, there is another Chicago VIP Dining Room which at that moment was being decorated by my fellow friend, Mona..
