Vagabond cultivates an elegant, serene evening, inviting guests to enjoy craft cocktails within a meticulously curated atmosphere—from the lighting and music to the personal touch of the service.

Noesaka, Pacific Place Mall
Noesaka, an Indonesian eating concept created by Artisan Kuliner Group, has recently opened its latest outlet in Pacific Place Mall, Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD). The name Noesaka comes from the Sanskrit terms “nusa,” which means island, and “saka,” which denotes structural basis. Combining the two words draws attention to Indonesia’s unity in diversity and to gathering speciality foods from many Indonesian cities in one location. Noesaka’s tasty and genuine Indonesian food has won over many hearts. On top of that, Noesaka’s warm lighting, cosy atmosphere, and private rooms make it the ideal place for professionals and families to have lunch or dinner.
