A sensory journey where contrasting flavors meet, transforming every sip into an unforgettable experience

Jakarta now has a new destination for cocktail lovers with the opening of Dualism, the latest bar from SwillFam Group, located at Sol Collective Space, SCBD. Open Monday to Thursday from 5 PM to 1 AM and Friday to Saturday from 5 PM to 2 AM, Dualism offers a cocktail experience like no other, built around the concept of “two sides of the same pour.”

The philosophy behind Dualism is simple yet revolutionary. A single set of ingredients is crafted into two distinct expressions. One version is bold and spirit-forward, while the other is lighter and more delicate. Sometimes one feels clean and balanced, while its counterpart is rich and expressive. The goal is to let guests explore how contrast can transform both flavor and story, revealing new dimensions of the same idea.

A standout example is the cocktail pairing Marie Antoinette, composed of “Fact” and “Fiction.” “Fact” brings a warm sensation with herbal and nutty undertones, while “Fiction” offers silky-smooth layers of roasted nut and gentle tea. Made from the same ingredients, the two drinks create distinct yet complementary experiences that highlight the bar’s unique approach.

Dualism also presents other creative pairings, such as Theater, which interprets life’s duality: “Tragedy” is deep and intense, while “Comedy” is bright and playful. Local ingredients like Dayak onion and Palembang cuko add an Indonesian touch, grounding the menu in cultural roots while embracing global artistry.

The concept draws inspiration from the founders’ personalities. One founder focuses on music, design, and sensory exploration, while the other is a cocktail expert with precision and technique at the forefront. The debut menu, Chapter I: The Founders, reflects this duality, offering a thematic cocktail collection rich in emotion and creativity.

Beyond the main menu, Dualism features seasonal editions, guest mixologists from other cities, and collaborative events that continue the theme of contrast. The bar is more than a place to drink; it is a space to explore flavors and perspectives. Each pairing encourages guests to experience both sides—not as a competition, but as a harmonious complement.

With the tagline “Two Sides of the Same Pour,” Dualism blends creativity and innovation. For cocktail enthusiasts and anyone seeking a fresh experience, Dualism promises a destination where flavor and storytelling meet in a single pour.
