Best Bars in Ubud

If you're looking for a spot to enjoy your evening with expertly crafted drinks and classic cocktails, Nautilus Restaurant & Bar is the perfect place to be. Offering an ocean-inspired ambience with expertly crafted cocktails and an extensive wine list, Nautilus  is considered to be one of the best bars in Ubud. Known for its fresh and locally sourced ingredients, the bar serves signature cocktails that range from light and refreshing to bold and complex, catering to all tastes.

The wine selection is equally extensive, featuring crisp, light wines and rich, full-bodied, ensuring the perfect fit for any occasion. With a cutting-edge ambience and top-notch mixology, Nautilus is the place to be for those looking for the ultimate bar experience in Ubud.

Donna has established itself as one of the best restaurants in Ubud. If you're looking for a rooftop bar in Ubud, the second floor at Donna is the place to be. If the first floor is where all the delicious Mediterranean and Latin American food is served, the Rooftop Bar is where all the fun begins, and mixologists will show their skills.

The taste of Barrel Aged Negroni and the presentation of Smoked Clover Club are two drinks at Donna that will blow your mind, not to mention the extensive wine selection. Although there are many bars in Ubud, the Latin Night every Friday at Donna and the casual weekday atmosphere will make your visit memorable.

If you're wondering where to drink in Ubud while exploring Jalan Raya Sanggingan on your trip, Dumbo creates the perfect mix of versatile bar and Italian dishes for you to relax in the evening. Opening only for dinner during weekdays, Dumbo is one of Ubud's finest bars as it translates the Italian spirit into every sip and every bite.

Out of their menu list, The Long Hot Summer wood-fired pizza is the one we highly recommended, while the naming of the signature cocktails at Dumbo is going to satisfy any music lovers. From Stop Making Sense with lychee gimlet and a tropical version of the classic, inspired by Talking Head's live album, to Outlandos D'Amour, The Police's debut album with apple lemongrass margarita, the unique names are certainly one of Dumbo's most interesting elements.

Having dinner at Bacari is unlike any dinner in Ubud that you've experienced, and you can trust us on this. As a prominent Ubud wine bar with tapas, the dishes at Bacari are carefully designed to fit with their wine menus. Bacari is also the first bar in Bali to curate a 20 Wines by the Glass program, featuring international wines from the Old World & New!

All the cocktails at Bacari use premium spirits and, whether you opt for a Bacari Martini, Milano Torino, or Gin Basil Smash, Bacari stays true to its spirit as a place that brings friends together. But it's their wine selection and the use of Coravin, a device to serve wine without opening the bottle, that makes Bacari a modern and sophisticated bar to visit.

No Más Bar has gained a reputation among locals and foreigners as one of the best clubs in Ubud for late-night hangouts and cocktails. The beauty of Ubud's nightlife is represented well by No Más Bar, where you can have a deep talk with your closest and loved ones or simply watch a nightly live performance.

The House Cocktails at No Más Bar provide the warm welcome you need once you step inside. Whether you go for Sayan Sunrise, The OG, or Kretek Negroni, the team at No Más will kindly serve you with a smile. Plus, if you're hungry and want a small snack, the Tempeh Falafel and Buenos Nachos are ready to accompany you while you enjoy rock, salsa, or hip-hop tunes.

Having dinner at Room4Dessert is a one-of-a-kind experience that we strongly recommend for you to try. More than just a bar in Ubud, Room4Dessert aims to please and elevate your dining through stylish yet sustainable ingredients, emphasising medicinal herbs within a delectable menu created by Chef Will Goldfarb.

There is no extensive menu to choose from at Room4Dessert, but be assured that the five savoury dishes, five desserts, and five petit fours will allow everyone to appreciate the exclusive menu prepared by the kitchen team. If you manage to secure a table at Room4Dessert, there are three dining spaces: L'hort, where Tuesday's jazz night takes place; The Dining Room, with its dim and rustic ambience; and The Terrace, perfect for a romantic dinner with your partner.

As a craft cocktail bar in Ubud, Night Roosters prides itself on using local Balinese ingredients in its drink menus, resulting in a place where you can try unique cocktails in Ubud while relaxing within a serene atmosphere. If the Locavore NXT is one of the signature fine dining restaurants in Ubud (we recommend you eat there if you can secure a reservation), then Night Roosters is the equivalent, but it only specialises in drinks.

Going to Night Roosters requires expecting the unexpected, as the supernatural and folk tales of Indonesia are at the centre of this menu creation and the overall mood. Blending classic ingredients like scotch whisky, dark rum, brandy, and gin with Indonesian essentials like fermented Java plum, aromatic ginger, turmeric, and mungbean, the cocktails at Night Roosters might prove to be the best drinks you've ever had.

There isn't much information on Kawi and finding it is even more challenging, but Kawi Ubud is not a myth; on the contrary, it's possibly one of the best hidden bars in Ubud ‒ if you can find it! Kawi is the antithesis of all the beaches, pools, and jungle bars that you can find anywhere in Bali, because this kind of bar is rare.

Mysterious is the image that Kawi Ubud is trying to evoke, which certainly works when considering their decor and the tricky entrance! The view of the rice paddies is an anomaly for a bar, but wait until you try the Teh, a combination of Tejakula arak, Laphroaig 10, whey, and Balinese black tea; or Sereh, which consists of East Indies gin, white tea, lemongrass, and homemade tonic, then you'll know why this place feels exclusive and hidden.

During the day, Pasir Ubud is an interesting environment with a cream-coloured space that makes for a pretty background and intriguing Instagram feeds, but once the night settles it becomes an intimate place that is magnificent for a date night. You no longer have to search for where to drink in Ubud because all you need to do is come to Pasir Ubud. Moreover, this bar is located in the heart of Ubud in Jalan Monkey Forest, which you should never miss.

Aside from Prawn Bisque Tagliatelle or Snapper Crudo for the main course, you should pay attention to the drinks. Mai Thai, Palma Passion, and The Basil Smash from the Classic Twisted will undoubtedly spice up your night, while the White Flower, You're Pretty, and Chamelia from the Signature drinks menu elevate the grace even further.

Aperitif has successfully proven itself to be one of the best fine dining restaurants in Ubud, but we also want to highlight the bar. Sharing the same colonial-style building and aesthetics as the restaurant, the bar is a throwback to the era of the 1930s when foreigners started travelling to Bali and artists started making their homes in Ubud.

Panji Wisrawan, the head mixologist at Aperitif Bar, has created a Cocktail Anthology inspired by Bali's traditions and some of the famous artists in Ubud, like Walter Spies. It relies on plantation OFTD and nasi uduk blend spices to create something tantalising for your taste buds. They also have a cocktail flavour map to help you decide whether you're craving a creamy, fruity, bold, or spirit-forward.

Syrco BASÈ has become one of the restaurants in Ubud where tradition, innovation, sustainability, and transparency are cooked in the same pot, thanks to the vision and mission of Chef Syrco Bakkers. The bar serves as a wonderful entrance to the world of Syrco BASÈ through the Indonesian-inspired drinks and fine-dining bites. This is hands down one of the best bars in Ubud.

The standout options at Syrco BASÈ Bar result from an interpretation of Indonesian favourites into the drink, like Kecombrang Mule and Gado-Gado. Even if you can't secure a table, the drinking experience is enough to give a taste of what to expect. Even the bar bites are served like they're part of the dining set menu.

If you're the type to look for sophisticated bars in Ubud then Copper is one of the triple treats of kitchen, bar, and rooftop in town that you should check out. Opening early and closing late, Copper Ubud is the type of bar you want to dive into when the dark settles and you're yearning for a place where you can enjoy a drink peacefully.

With the option to sit outdoors to enjoy Ubud's breeze or else stay inside, the casual and relaxed vibe here is unmistakable. Copper Blossom, Coffee Old Fashioned, and Pejeng Sour are among Copper's signature cocktails that blend exotic ingredients with refined techniques from the past, creating a drink that stays true to the authentic spirit of Copper.
