Weekly social events in Jakarta

Dinners

Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30 pm.

The one that started it all. A dinner with strangers at a restaurant we pick, with four to six people matched to you. Expect good food and conversation that runs longer than you planned.

Drinks

Thursdays at 7:30 pm.

Skip dinner and head straight to the bar, where a few new faces are waiting. Low-key and easy on the wallet, it's a good way to wind down after work.

Next one: Thursday 15 October, 7:30 pm

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Jakarta?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Subscription prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
Can I go on my own?

What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
