Open the book and meet old Batavia’s smugglers, merchants, sailors, questionable deals and late-night characters.

The De Tiger menu was written as more than a list of drinks. Many of its cocktails begin with stories inspired by life around the old Sunda Kelapa harbour, back when coffee, spices, money and gossip moved through the port in equally large quantities.

The drinking comes afterwards.

150 years before today’s coffee culture, Kawisari was already growing coffee in the mountains of East Java.

Established in 1870, Tugu Kawisari Plantation sits on fertile volcanic land around 1,000 metres above sea level, where Arabica and Robusta are still carefully cultivated and hand-sorted. Our Medium Dark Robusta went on to receive international recognition at AVPA Paris in 2019.

But Kawisari’s story has always been about more than awards. It is about generations of people who have grown, picked and worked with coffee here, carrying a tradition that continues in every cup we serve today.

This International Coffee Day, we raise ours to them.

Happy International Coffee Day from Kawisari and Tugu.

The Portuguese left traces in Jakarta that survived long after their political power disappeared, particularly around Kampung Tugu in North Jakarta, where a Portuguese-descended community developed its own distinctive culture.

Kampung Portugis Corn Fritters borrow their name from that chapter of the city, turning it into something considerably easier to enjoy with a cocktail.

Come for one drink. Stay because someone ordered another.

That is generally how evenings at De Tiger get away from you.

Even the name sounds like something is being negotiated under the table.

Saudagar Kongkalikong takes its name from the merchants, deals and rather complicated exchanges that once animated Batavia’s trading port. Now the intrigue comes shaken, poured and served at the bar.

Kiki Moka behind the bar. De Tiger after dark.

For one night, the drinks changed hands as one of Jakarta’s familiar faces from the bar scene took over our counter. The evidence, fortunately, survived the night.

Old Batavia was fed by far more than Dutch kitchens. Arab, Chinese, Indian, Malay and Indonesian communities all brought their own flavours to the port.

Our Arab Market Hummus & Crispy Cacino gives one of those influences a place on the De Tiger table. Made for tearing, dipping and ordering another round alongside.

Somewhere inside House of Tugu, things get considerably darker.

De Tiger takes its cues from the illicit drinking dens known as Blind Tigers, places where a discreet entrance once led to drinks, conversation and whatever happened after dark. Ours finds its home among the layered history of Old Jakarta.

Not every Negroni comes with a history lesson.

Kempetai Cho’s Negroni is part of De Tiger’s cocktail collection inspired by characters, encounters and stories from the old port city of Batavia. A familiar bitter classic, retold through De Tiger’s rather less conventional lens.
