Full moon festivals, Kecak dance performances, nightclubs and karaoke cafes, hookah bars decorated in a Middle Eastern style, and impromptu concerts by local guitarists and vocalists right on a city street or on the beach. Bali never falls asleep and never calms down. But against the background of this diversity, there are several places with a special atmosphere.
Siam Sally Restaurant is located next to the famous Balinese Yoga Barn retreat and is famous for its excellent Thai cuisine. The restaurant has its own organic farm in the mountains north of Ubud. Another highlight of Siam Sally is the jazz concerts every Saturday night.
Fly Café prides itself on "the best Balinese BBQ", "the best Balinese burgers" and the "best lime pie on the island". This establishment was honored with a visit to Hollywood stars - Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Julia Roberts - during the filming of the film "Eat Pray Love" in Bali, which made it even more attractive to tourists from all over the world.
Bunut Restaurant & Bar offers romantic retreat in the heart of bustling Ubud. Tables are placed on balconies, good service and an impressive wine list. The motto of the establishment is "After tasting our signature dish Nasi panggang, you will taste the true Balinese delight!" Live music: on Thursdays - reggae, on Fridays - acoustics, blues - on Saturdays.
Jazz Cafe is a popular club, restaurant and bar in Ubud with locals and tourists alike, a mecca for fans of good music and inspiring atmosphere. Every evening except Monday, guest groups perform jazz, blues, funk, soul and ethnic music. A superb bistro and legendary cocktails complete the picture. Jazz Cafe often becomes a venue for weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.
Younger brother Jazz Cafe - the Smiling Buddha Bar is a relatively new place in the city, cozy and bright. Here you can share a plate of tapas and a jug of sangria with friends, enjoy Balinese and Asian cuisine, lychee dessert and lemon martini. And on Mondays, the Balinese Blues Brothers give concerts at the Smiling Buddha Bar.
In Jimbaran, it is worth visiting the Rock Bar at the Ayana Hotel. A panoramic elevator, an excellent cocktail menu, live music all night, the sound of waves crashing against the rocks below, and an unforgettable view of the ocean are some more pleasant moments in the treasury of impressions about Bali.
