Why it matters
Why Angkringan Tugu (Lik Man) is worth your time
The angkringan is part of how Yogyakartans eat and talk at night, and Tugu is among the better-known spots. Trying one gives a different view from the palace and museum circuit.
It is not a place for strict diets or a long family dinner. Treat it as a brief cultural stop, and eat your main meal elsewhere. Go with someone steady on their feet, keep valuables close, and agree a time to leave before the night gets late.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage lists Angkringan Tugu, also called Angkringan Lik Man, on Jl. Wongso Dirjan north of Tugu station, open from 18:00 to 04:00, serving small rice packets and strong kopi joss coffee, with items priced from about Rp1,000 to 6,000 at the time of the page.
An angkringan is a cart-based night stall where you pick small packets of rice and side dishes, and drink hot tea or coffee. Many packets include meat or fish, so vegetarians should ask before eating, and strict vegetarians should skip it.
Go for the atmosphere in the early evening rather than very late, take a taxi back, and keep the budget small. If you want a quieter meal, sit down at a restaurant instead and treat this as a short stop.
