Our Favourite Bars

The Sky Garden - Definitely the hottest spot in town right now. Located in the rapidly changing downtown Kuta area, this rooftop bar has developed a big following with the cool crowd. Big sofa beds, sweet beats, beautiful table service and expansive cocktail list are a winning formula. Get in early to get a good position and live large.

The Anantara Roof Bar - On the roof of the new Anantara Hotel in Seminyak this bar is a step up into a new era in the local bar scene. With a view stretching from the Bukit Peninsula to Gilimanuk, you can kick back, cocktail in hand on the giant day beds and take in the best sunset view on the island. The Lychee Martini is amazing as are the Berry Mojitos. Bring your sunnies, bust out a cute dress, and be prepared for some all time cocktail lounging.

Ku De Ta - Up until recently this was beyond doubt the coolest sunset location in Bali. The opening of the Anantara has shaded it on the view but KDT still outperforms on the cool factor. This is where anyone who is anything wants to be seen. late afternoon will see all types mixing it up to the famed sunset soundtrack and cocktail list. Girls in bikinis, mafioso looking guys smoking cigars, mandatory sunglasses and designer threads make this world renowned bar a must visit for anyone to Bali. Be warned that cocktails are expensive but not so much that you cant afford one or two whilst you take in the decadence around you.

Great list but you cant leave out Sticky Fingers. The scene down at Canggu is super cool these days. Sitting there at sunset with an icy cold bintang watching the boys rip it up on the sand bar has gotta be one of the all time ways to see a day out.
