So, let's get started. Skye Lounge is one of the most famous Bars/Lounges you can find in Jakarta because it offers you this rooftop experience where you can gaze upon the bustling city of Jakarta from high above and since it's located right in the heart of the city, the place is literally jam-packed with young and virile people. I've been to the place like three times and every time I looked over to the UOB tower, it kinda reminds me of Ku De Ta or Ce La Vi looking over the UOE building, this is the kind of stuff that you're going to get when you enter Skye but there's a couple or more things that I think Skye needs to edit or revamp.
First of all, I always imagine if it's a rainy day, what would the guys at Skye do? Just close the Lounge or what, because what I think that they need is a retractable roof, I know it would cost more but you can imagine it right, you're lounging with your friends when suddenly a rain storm come charging to ruin your night, wouldn't that be a bitch. I'm not gonna talk about the drinks because all I had last night were just a shot of Jaegermeister, two glasses of Glenlivet and that was it, I don't want to drink that much, well, 'cos I just did the cleanse like the day before, I'm not gonna ruin the cleanse just the day after. Maybe I'll try the cocktails next time or the Absinthe, I always wanted to try Absinthe all my life but I think I'm too scared to see the green fairy.
Anyway, on the to the second point, the lighting. I know that the ambiance of the place is somewhat mellow and intimate but how can you be intimate with someone when you can't even see their faces properly, Skye need to brighten up the place just a little bit not like throw some flood lights or anything but crank the lighting just a smidge, that would be nice.
Lastly, the music. I'm not a fan of Skye's music, I know some might disagree with me but most people agree with me that the music is so boring that a couple of my friends last night literally dying out of boredom or almost went to sleep. Let me tell you why, some of us don't like to bar hop or do club hopping, we like to just stay in one place and hangout for hours much like we did last night but how can we enjoy Skye to the fullest when the music is designed to put us to sleep, it's like a lullaby, I was fairly sleepy listening to the hours and hours of pointless beats of the house music, throw some EDM or some Trap Music, Skrillex or something to liven the place up, I'm pretty sure that if Skye would change the music, It will bring the house down and attract more people to stay at Skye instead of just get some drinks and then leave the place for a more lively club.
I don't mind with Skye's interior design, I think the style is pretty awesome and I love their dress code, I think you should be properly dressed to enter this sort of joint, like last night I saw this couple got shut down by the security because they wore sandals, shorts and tank tops, that's really cool for Skye to be strict with their rules.
Overall score: 8 out of 10, it could be a 9 but the music turned me off.
