In Tuban
GRACY KELLY’S
Bali’s only real Irish pub has all the atmosphere and action that you would expect. The pub food is solid with Irish Stews and other Irish inspired nibbles. Live music every night comes from the Rice Padis playing Irish folk and just about everything else. Bali Dynasty Resort,Jl. Kartika Plaza, T: 752 403
STADIUM CAFÉ
A magnet for sports fans offering large screens and al the action. Good basic pub food, cold beer and sports paraphernalia, busy location and a favourite stop-off point for those on their way into Legian for more bar action. Opposite Kuta Paradiso. Jl. Kartika Plaza, T: 763 100.
Bars in Kuta and Legian Area
THE BOUNTY
Behind Paddy’s Reloaded, Notorious den of day-glo iniquity spread over three floors plays host to legions of very drunk holidaying teenagers every night of the week. Shamelessly commercial top 40 hits all night long but a fun, if not unbearably cheesy night out. 10pm until late. Jl. Legian, T: 754 040.
CENTRESTAGE
The Hard Rock Hotel’s bar and club are plays host to traveling international acts and Top chart hits. Pricely bar but worth a visit if only to grab a drink by the impressively designed swimming pool.
Jl.Pantai Kita, T: 761 869.<
KORI RESTAURANT AND BAR
There’s a comfortable bar at the front of the restaurant for those who prefer things a little quieter. Unplugged sessions on Wednesdays and Sundays with excellent drinks and an adjoining pool and cigar room provide a great place to spend the evening. Jl. Poppies Lane 2, Kuta, T: 758 605.
MACCARONI CLUB
Another Legian institution, expensive but widely varied cocktail menu. Never seems to really get going until the weekend but a good spot to plot up on the comfy sofas and people watch the Kuta crowds bar-hopping.
Jl. Legian 52, T: 754 662.
M BAR GO
A short march up from Paddy’s and The Bounty but a world apart in terms of décor with its huge downstairs dancefloor playing R&B and Hip Hop to flocking Kuta poseurs. Upstairs on the veranda at 3am is a much better crowd with awesome funky House sets sometimes going down and a very up-for-it crowd getting groovy. Regularly hosts fashion parties and promo nights for the surf labels around town with some of the best looking door staff on the island. Jl. Legian, T: 756 280.
PADDY’S RELOADED
A solid, no-frills pub set-up combines with reasonably priced cocktails and drinks to give the average punter exactly what he or she wants. Much the same crowd as you’ll find staggering around The Bounty later in the evening, lots of ‘dancing partners’ for house inclined. Jl. Legian, Kuta, T: 758 555.
SKY GARDEN
A relatively new addition to the Kuta skyline, the Sky Garden casts a formidable gaze over the rooftops of Legian with a slightly more refined feel to the interior and the crowds it attracts. Less emphasis on the commercial 40 playlists of neighboring Paddy’s and The Bounty make this a little oasis in a tropical pit of hedonism. Jl. Legian, Kuta, T: 756 362.
THE WAVE
Trendy new Kuta seafront club tight on the beach with live music from Cool Water band playing Hip Hop and top forty covers starting at ten pm, Dj’s on rotation play R&B, House and Techno with sexy dancers Friday and Saturday cutting shapes on the dancefloor into the early hours. T: 760 068.
Bars in Seminyak area
BACIO
Spacious two-floored restaurant, bar and warm up spot for further clubbing adventures in the locale. Funky House music policy keeps the well-heeled party crew on their toes to the break of down. Blue Ocean, T: 742 4466.
BAHIANA
Latino booty shaking rhythms to get the libido fully changed before a trip to the bigger clubs. A fun diversion to four-to-the-floor House music, always fun to kick back and ogle the beautiful people gyrating round the dancefloor. Jl. Dhyana Pura, T: 738 662.
DÉJÀ VU
Recently revamped and enlarged to pump louder and longer. Expect Funky House beats galore in a stylish surround. Watch out though, the relaxed door policy of yesteryear is out and now you’ve got to dress up to get down. Great spot to find a dancing partner and close enough for a stumble in the direction of Double Six for some late night shenanigans. Blue Ocean Beach, Legian, T: 759 636.
DOUBLE SIX
The mackdaddy of the Bali club scene and still the busiest club on the island. Thousands of people pack in nightly to hear the latest techno dance music and look cool at the various air-conditioned bars. Veers toward the Eurobeat genre and needs to book some more ‘edgy’ Dj’s but you won’t hear too many complains from the punters at three am. Watch out who you head home with on your arm. Jl. Double Six, T: 731 266.
F LOUNGE
Stylish bar/club that really gets going after midnight with a tiny dance floor area playing home to a pulsating speaker system and a cool mix of progressive House tunes from the resident Dj’s on rotation. Open 8pm to 4am depending on the crowd. Jl. Legian, T: 730 562.
HU’U BAR
Seminyak beautiful bar for beautiful people, their friends and their beautiful clothes. With regular parties in the outside garden, an expansive bar inside and out and top drawer cocktail menu Hu’u is fast establishing itself as one of Seminyak’s permier party sports. Jl. Petitenget, T: 736 443.
KUDOS
A Dhyana Pura alternative with plenty of boys flying around the upstairs terrace and an ‘anything goes’ attitude to their partying. Drag shows and all manner of hijinks are order of the night here. T: 738 696.
KU DE TA
Can anyone knock these guys off their Seminyak throne as the kings of cool? Probably not though we’re inviting newcomers to take them on. Sunset, lounge chairs, almost any drink imaginable, impeccable service and sinfully trendy crowd keep the joint pumping night after night, week after week, month after…
Whether the peak of high season or the more subdued off-season, Ku De Ta is the only Seminyak nightlife choice from dinner to dancing for those who yearn for a difference. Jl. Laksamana, T: 736 969.
THE LEGIAN
This sophisticated bar offers live jazz, a great selection of Cuban and local cigars, including one made especially for the hotel, and fresh sea breezes. A great place to start or end an evening. Legian Suites Hotel, Jl. Laksmana, Pettitengget, T: 730 622.
OBSESION
In the hearth of Dhyana Pura Street, the home of the famous Saharadja Band. The decoration is a touch of mixed Asian and Oriental styles. Crewed with expats and Indonesian people. It’s the place where you can hear the sound of the best live bands in Bali in a cool and friendly atmosphere, with some Brasilian’ Caipihrinas.
Q-BAR
The original bar for the ‘alternative’ crowd. Q is famous for its drag shows, fashion parades and other raunchy events. Leave your inhibitions at the door, enjoy the stage act and dance til three in the am. Upstairs lounge has some pretty interesting artwork and a tactically placed balcony for watching the nightly madness unfold. Jl. Abimanyu No. 11A (former Jl. Dhyana Pura), T: 730 927.
SANTA FE
The original western style bar in this street with a large stage to accommodate live bands and continues to attract hoards of visitors almost every evening. Jl. Dhyana Pura, T: 731 147.
Bars in Ubud area
JAZZ CAFÉ
Cool Jazz at Ubud’s hottest night spot – the first live jazz venue on the island. Live bands play Jazz, Blues, Latin, Funk, and Soul to expatriates and visiting travelers. The Bistro Menu features Mediterranean style cuisine and the doors are open from 5.30pm to 12.00 midnight from Tuesdays to Sundays. Jl. Sukma No.2, Tebesaya, Ubud, T: 976 594.
NAUGHTY NURI’S
Recently described by a leading English language newspaper as a ‘wretched little roadside shack’ but there’s nothing wretched about the bone twisting Martinis served up here – celebrity Chef Anthony Bourdain reckons they’re the best outside New York and other Hollywood types have been spotted giving them and the world famous ribs a test run over the years. Owners Brian is a character as are most of the long-term Nuri’s devotees lurking in the shadows. Love the place. Jl. Raya Ubud, opposite Neka Museum.
No need to book.
OZIGO
Just what Ubud needs, a taste of the Seminyak scene to brighten up those long Bali nights when the trundle down the hill just isn’t on the cards. Outdoor terraces and open late. T: 980 358.
Bars in Sanur area
ARENA
Not just a pretty plate, Arena houses a huge bar, pool table and sports screens for Sanur bar-goers although the place is pretty much reserved for the feeding of Bali’s expatriate masses. Weekly Wednesday night quiz evenings are a big draw. Jl. Ngurah Rai Bypass, T: 287 255.
CAT AND FIDDLE
Live Irish bands every night in this popular expatriates haunt tucked away in deepest, darkest south Sanur. Perhaps it’s the nearby embassies and consulates that provide the punters? Who knows, but the tasty food and lively music make this place a whole heap of fun. T: 282 218.
JAZZ BAR AND GRILL
Live Jazz seven night a week on the stage downstairs and a pool table and American menu for those with the munchies. Open from 9.00am until 2am it’s one of Sanur’s night owl spots. Jl. By-pass, Komplek Sanur Raya, T: 285 892.
KAFE WAYANG
Right next door the Jazz Bar and Grill, Kafe Wayang features an innovative meny and a lively jam session every Friday and Saturday night. Open 9pm until 2am. Jl. By-pass, Komplex Sanur Raya, T: 287 591.
