Monkey Shoulder Turned a Coffee Shop Into the Hottest Party in Town
You know that feeling when a regular night suddenly flips into something unforgettable? That’s exactly what happened on Friday, August 1st, when Monkey Shoulder took over The Newsroom in Kemang—and turned a cozy coffee spot into a full-blown party.

It was loud, messy in the best way, and completely unfiltered—just like Monkey Shoulder likes it. People showed up curious, left with their shirts custom printed, their hands full of merch, and their night made.

The second Make It Monkey event wasn’t just a party; it was a vibe. One minute you’re sipping a coffee, the next you’re dancing to a secret DJ set by Radio Rumah Oma, spinning the wheel for ridiculous challenges, and sipping bold Coffee-Whisky cocktails made by the dream team—Brendon Khoo, Niko Saputra, and Wawan Kurniawan.

“When it comes to having a great time, Jakarta never fails to disappoint, and today it’s only been made better with Monkey Shoulder, bringing nothing but delicious mixes and good vibes, no matter where in the city you may be. After all, who said you couldn’t throw a party in a cafe at night?,” says Brendon Khoo, Southeast Asia Brand Ambassador for Monkey Shoulder.

From tunnels in Blok M to cafés in Kemang, Monkey Shoulder is here for the unexpected. Because let’s be honest—rules are boring, and great whisky (and great nights) are meant to be mixed up.
