One evening, I got a surprise call from my friend, Yohan, we haven’t seen each other in a while, I don’t know where he’s been. He asked me if I were in Surabaya or Jakarta, and when I said I was in Surabaya, he said, “Ok. I’ll pick you up now, go and get dressed!” I was like, “Whaaatt?!” But I agreed anyway, lol.
This is definitely not the first time someone didn’t ask my consent if I wanted to go out with them, my friends never take a ‘no’ from me either, haha. But, I haven’t seen Yohan in a while, so I felt the need to catch up and demand an update on what has been going on with his life.
And lastly, when I asked him where we were going, he said, “OURBAR!” Oh, heck yeah. I have never been there before! Now I’m more excited to go to Ourbar than to actually see Yohan, hahaha.. Jk Han! I missed you still!
OurBar


This is the living room or the waiting room I guess. If the space is fully booked, this is the place where you’ll gonna wait until it’s your turn to get in.
Everything looks very much vintage and old. People are allowed to smoke inside the indoor area, if you are a drinker & a smoker, you’ll gonna love this place.
But if you’re not a fan of a smoke like me, there’s an outdoor section where it’s less smoky than the inside
I think it will be more convenient for me to have my table in the outdoor since I always prefer to be in a nonsmoking area, & the atmosphere is much better there even though sometimes you will feel a little bit humid *but anyway, our table was inside, haha* We sat right next to the stage where the home band performs. I love the mic they were using! So cool!
Maybe someday when the place is not so crowded *which is impossible* I will try to sing on stage just for the sake of trying that cool mic! Haha..
Here are some pictures on that night~
Baby Back Ribs & Potato Wedges
Because the area is close-by from a lot of consulates, you can definitely find many foreigners hanging out in here. It was definitely a fun vibes, feels like I’m in Bali or something, hahah..
I’m rating this place with ★★★★☆ Definitely will be back again, and again and again, hehe..
