(6,214 reviews)
SCBD, Jakarta

Skye sits on the 56th floor of Menara BCA, roughly 230 metres above Jakarta's Sudirman corridor. The outdoor terrace wraps the building and delivers unobstructed city views in every direction. The food menu focuses on Western contemporary grill with premium imported cuts. Cocktails range from a solid classics list to house signatures. The bar reopened late 2025 after a period of renovation, with a refreshed concept and updated wine list.

Full Review

The elevator ride to the 56th floor of Menara BCA sets expectations. When the doors open onto Skye's outdoor terrace, the view delivers. Jakarta stretches in every direction, with the Sudirman corridor's office towers lit up at eye level and the city's sprawl extending to the horizon. The terrace wraps the building, offering 360-degree access to the panorama. Indoor seating behind floor-to-ceiling glass provides the same view with air conditioning.

The food menu focuses on Western contemporary grill with premium imported cuts. Cocktails range from a solid classics list to house signatures that incorporate Southeast Asian flavors. The wine list was updated during the 2025 renovation. Service is polished and professional. The crowd is a mix of business diners, date-night couples, and visitors experiencing Jakarta's skyline for the first time.

Skye competes with Cloud Lounge for Jakarta's best high-rise bar title. Cloud has a better late-night party scene. Skye has better food and a more refined atmosphere. For a sunset cocktail or dinner with a view, Skye wins. For a night that extends past midnight, Cloud takes over. The minimum spend of IDR 300,000 per person is easily reached with a cocktail and a starter.

Book for sunset; the terrace fills between 6 and 7:30 PM. Ask for the Skye Ombre cocktail during golden hour, as it's not on the printed menu. Smart casual dress code is enforced. The indoor section works as a rain backup without sacrificing the view.

The Neighborhood
