The classic bar to go with friends for neverending late night chats. The vibes are casual, usually loud with live band music. It’s the perfect place to shout out loud and let the fun win over the stress. No màs means no more, funny because what we hear in a bar is usually one more!

The cozy sofas at the Night Rooster in Ubud, Bali.

The Night Rooster is the cocktail bar of the exquisite restaurant Locavore, also located in Ubud and voted the best Indonesian restaurant in 2017. Here, Raka Ambarawan, an award-winning Balinese barman, makes his magic. The results of his alchemy are 10 rotating cocktails, based on the seasonal and locally sourced herbs, fruits and spices. For example, their “Nangke Ditebe – a.k.a. jackfruit from our backyard” is a mix of home-distilled local liqueur and fresh jackfruit. For a classic revisited try their “Nee-groni – “S**t! We forgot the Campari!”

7. Laramona Ubud

Hidden in the buzzing Jalan Dewisita, Laramona is Ubud’s little secret. The space is enclosed, with no windows, and permeated with underground vibes. It’s what it feels like to be in a bar in East London or the hipster part of Melbourne. Definitely the place to hang and listen to some good deep house tunes, with a DJ deck set up on empty petrol barrels. Their bruschetta is on point as well as the french fries topped with truffle oil. The drinks are refreshing and the ambiance is the coolest to be found in Ubud. A must.

10. La Casita

Margaritas & tacos sound like an excellent recipe for a fun night in Ubud.
