Singapore-based cocktail bar Jigger & Pony, runner-up in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2023, is to open a sister bar called Cosmo Pony in Jakarta Indonesia next year.
Cosmo Pony will be based at the Grand Hyatt hotel in central Jakarta. As Jigger & Pony Group’s first overseas venture, the new bar will roll out in collaboration with Indonesian hospitality company The Union Group.
Jigger & Pony Group is an independent hospitality company which has seven bars and restaurants in Singapore including Live Twice, Sugarhall, and its flagship venue Jigger & Pony, number 2 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars and number 14 in The World’s 50 Best Bars 2023.
“We’re not trying to copy and paste Jigger & Pony, we’re trying to take what works in Singapore, understand what Jakarta needs, and try something new – that’s why The Union Group is the perfect partner,” co-founder of Jigger & Pony Group, Indra Kantono, told Drinks International.
The Union Group currently has nine brands and 22 hospitality outlets in Indonesia, including American brasserie Union, which was named Asia’s 50 Best Bars in 2016 and The Cocktail Club, which is ranked number 19 on the 2023 list.
“The Union Group and Jigger & Pony Group share similar values on hospitality, quality of offerings, and work ethic, and we complement each other in many ways, so working together on Cosmo Pony feels natural for both companies,” said Stefanie Wijono, deputy marketing & PR director of The Union Group.
“We want to show how fun Jakarta can be. Of course the quality of the drinks and hospitality has to be Jigger & Pony standard, but we want it to be fun,” she added.
