Blok M is where Jakarta remembers and reinvents itself. Once a commercial heart, it now lives as a cultural enclave where nostalgia and modern rhythm move side by side. Framed by narrow streets and warm lantern light, the area echoes the spirit of Little Tokyo — home to Japanese eateries, izakayas, and bars that hold tightly to authenticity while embracing the pulse of the present.
Born in the heart of Blok M, SEBA embodies the essence of an authentic izakaya experience: intimate, welcoming, and full of life. The space is designed to feel alive yet personal — warm, fluid, and easy. Every corner supports the experience, allowing guests to gather comfortably, move freely, and stay as long as the night invites. It is a room that understands rhythm — sometimes quiet and reflective, sometimes buzzing with conversation — always in motion.
Like a current guiding people to meet, unwind, and connect, the name “Seba” suggests movement and presence. The energy shifts with each guest; every evening takes on a rhythm of its own. Calm yet dynamic, Seba becomes a quiet harbor within the city’s steady current — refined, sincere, and ever evolving. It carries the warmth of an old soul with the confidence of the present, where every moment feels both familiar and new.
Bite, Booze, Beats
At its core, SEBA brings together three interconnected elements: food, drinks, and music. Each stands strong on its own, yet truly comes alive when experienced together.
Rooted in the spirit of izakaya culture, the kitchen celebrates variety and balance. From sushi, sashimi, and chirashi to yakitori, robatayaki, and teishoku-style dishes, every plate is designed to be shared, savored, and enjoyed in good company. The flavors are familiar yet carefully crafted — honest, comforting, and thoughtfully presented to complement the flow of the night.
Behind the bar, exploration takes center stage. A curated selection of sake, signature cocktails, and Japanese teas offers something for every pace — whether it’s a slow contemplative sip or a lively toast among friends. Each drink is crafted to pair seamlessly with the food, enhancing flavors without overpowering them. The rhythm between bite and sip feels natural, intuitive, and intentional.
At SEBA, music is not background noise; it is part of the experience. Vinyl playlists and DJ sessions shape the atmosphere, setting a warm analog tone that evolves throughout the evening. The sound is immersive yet unhurried, moving in sync with the energy of the room, the food on the table, and the drinks being poured.
In Blok M — where Jakarta holds onto memory while embracing reinvention — SEBA flows between heritage and modernity. It is a place to gather, to linger, to listen. A space where bite, booze, and beats move together, and where the night unfolds at its own quiet, confident pace.
