JAKARTA - The Mayor of Bogor, Bima Arya Sugiarto, checked the layout of the Holywings cafe before it opened on Jalan Pajajaran, Baranangsiang Village, East Bogor District, a premium area for culinary tourism, so that its use adapts to the religious and family-friendly character of the area.

"I saw the same as other areas, I studied looking at the pictures, saw the videos, yes there is a place to store alcohol, there is a stage for performances," he said after walking around the building, in Bogor, West Java, quoted from Antara, Sunday 9 January.

He went there with his staff accompanied by the Head of the Operations Section of the Bogor Police, Police Commissioner Prasetyo Purbo, to see one by one the rooms of the Holywings cafe building which has two floors.

He visited the construction site for the Holywings cafe because he responded to information circulating that the cafe building was being built and would be operational.

He emphasized that the concept of Holywings in other cities that served liquor above five percent, and performances like nightclubs that were not just a stage for singing or live music, would not be allowed in Bogor.

Observations at the location, the building has stood upright in the progress of interior refinement and there have been several sofas covered with cloth. The building also features wood on several sides.

It's just that the floor area in the building and yard is still rough. The work on the building is also still covered with zinc, because it is not fenced. After walking around the building, he said that the concept of the Holywings building was the same as in other areas.

According to information on the Holiwings official website, the type of business in the food and beverage sector was founded by PT Aneka Bintang Gading in 2014. The cafe business has branches in big cities, namely Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya, Bandung, Semarang to Makassar. Holywings has three outlets namely Holywings Club, Holywings Bar, and Holywings Restaurant.

"I see the same as Holywings in other places even though I've never been there," he said.

He emphasized that Bogor's vision is to be a family city so that allowed business activities include sports and nature tourism and culinary arts in general.

"Therefore, if Holywings (which) opens in Bogor and the concept is the same as in other cities, we will not allow Holywings to operate in Bogor, that's clear," he said.
