Spark Resto Sports Bar - #1 Sports Bar in Jogja — Restaurant in Yogyakarta

I recently visited Jogja and was looking for a sports bar to watch a football match. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be quite disappointing due to the poor service and the way we were treated.

A wonderful group of men, a special night and great...

Still whilst staff is friendly and polite, they can be overwhelmed if there are too many customers. Still overall a nice place to come to, mix with locals and tourists and enjoy the...
