Nautilus

South Jakarta


Nautilus is a bold, classic European-versus-Asian-bling drinking lounge at the Four Seasons hotel. Upon entering, you're drawn to the striking mural of the historic Sunda Kelapa port behind the bar. There's live music (ranging from singers to jazz musicians, soul musicians and pianists) between 6pm and 9pm Tuesday to Saturday.

The bartenders are experts at crafting bespoke cocktails to quench your thirst. Try the signature 'gombal' cocktail – with clove-infused vodka, rambutan cordial, orange curaçao liqueur and topped off with fresh lemon.
