Jakarta
At a glance
Paulaner Bräuhaus is a Bavarian restaurant and microbrewery on the second floor of the East Mall at Grand Indonesia, Jl. M.H. Thamrin No. 1, Menteng, Jakarta. The venue combines traditional Bavarian cooking with freshly brewed German beer in a casual dining setting suited to relaxed meals, social gatherings and evenings centred on food and drinks.
The menu focuses on authentic Bavarian flavours and uses premium imported ingredients. Its German beer is brewed fresh at the venue, giving the restaurant a clear focus on beer-led dining as well as regional cuisine. The setting is designed for a substantial outing rather than a quick mall stop, with a 200-seat dining area that can accommodate groups and larger social occasions.
Atmosphere plays an important part in the experience. Live music forms part of the evening programme, while big-screen sports broadcasts make the restaurant suitable for match-day gatherings and casual drinks with friends. A lounge area provides city views, offering a different setting from the main dining room for drinks or a more relaxed part of the evening.
The restaurant follows a casual style, with dress expectations ranging from casual and business casual to smart casual and semi-formal depending on the occasion. Lunch is suited to a straightforward daytime meal, while the later atmosphere becomes more energetic with music, beer and sports on screen. The broad dining room also makes the venue practical for celebrations and group meet-ups that benefit from a lively indoor setting.
Seasonal events add to the restaurant’s German character. Oktoberfest Jakarta is an annual occasion built around Bavarian food, German beer and live entertainment, bringing a festival-style programme to the venue. Outside that period, the restaurant remains focused on all-day Bavarian dining, fresh beer and evening entertainment in Grand Indonesia’s East Mall.
Paulaner Bräuhaus suits diners looking for a German-style restaurant with a strong Bavarian identity, beer drinkers interested in freshly brewed beer, sports fans seeking a broadcast-friendly venue and groups wanting a spacious social setting. Table reservations are available through the restaurant, making advance planning possible for group meals and special occasions.
