Makan Place presents its first Bar Takeover of the year with celebrated mixologist Arey Barker, showcasing three signature cocktails inspired by Balinese flavours and world-class spirits.
Makan Place kicks off its first Bar Takeover of the year with an exciting, one-night-only collaboration featuring Indonesia’s very own cocktail maestro, Arey Barker, the 2014 Diageo World Class Indonesia Champion. Set to take over the bar on Saturday, 26th of July 2025, Arey will bring his signature flair and magnetic energy to delight the Makan Place crowd.
With over 11 years of experience in the mixology world and an impressive four-year streak competing in the prestigious Diageo World Class — a global stage for the finest in cocktail craftsmanship — Arey has long been a driving force in Indonesia’s cocktail scene. Today, he leads as Group Head Mixologist at 8 Degree Projects, a leading name in hospitality, while also serving as Brand Ambassador for Beam Suntory Indonesia.
For this special appearance at Makan Place, Arey is set to present three of his signature creations, including Meneater, a cocktail that highlights ginger torch, locally known as kecombrang, an ingredient commonly found in Balinese sambal. Each drink on the menu is a reflection of Arey’s personal style, rooted in Balinese heritage and elevated through modern technique and flavour, featuring timeless spirits such as Suntory whisky, Roku gin, and Haku vodka.
Guests can enjoy Arey’s exclusive cocktails from 5 PM to 9 PM at Rp158,000++, the perfect way to ease into the evening. For those seeking a complete experience, food pairing offers for lunch or dinner will also be available, starting from Rp188,000++.
