Markette’s After-Hours Drink Menu Is All About Easy Nights Out

Inside Markette, a casual dining spot by ISMAYA Group, the night is just getting started as the venue introduces a new cocktail program.

Branching out from its famous comfort food lineup of loaded sandwiches and sizzling plates, the brand offers a relaxed alternative to Jakarta's stiff bar scene. There are no dress codes, complicated gimmicks, or high price tags. Instead, this affordable menu of beers, wines, and classic cocktails is designed to turn a regular post-work hangout into a proper night out.

To keep things easy for groups, most of the cocktails come by the pitcher, making it simple to settle in for a long catch-up without constantly reordering. The drinks themselves stick to familiar recipes that everyone knows. For instance, the menu features a clean Mojito with rum and mint, alongside a fruity Sangria that blends tequila, shiraz, and soda. For classic flavours, guests can grab a lime-forward Margarita, a tart Cosmopolitan, or a sweet, tropical Piña Colada. The bar also serves a Long Island that stays remarkably easy to drink despite mixing five different spirits. The only exceptions to the pitcher rule are the Negroni and the Old Fashioned, which are served strictly by the glass for anyone wanting a bolder choice.

"Many people come to Markette for the food, but we also want to create an experience that feels more relaxed beyond regular dining hours," says Cendyarani, President Director of ISMAYA Group. "Sometimes people simply want to stay longer, talk without rushing, or enjoy the weekend with something familiar yet still special."

A great night out doesn't need a special occasion because some good food, a round of drinks, and a relaxed table are all it takes to get everyone talking. After all, the best evenings are always those unplanned ones where the conversation just flows and you totally lose track of time.
