Cocktail Bars in Ubud
Ubud's craft-cocktail scene — jungle views and late-night lounges
Ubud doesn't do nightclubs — but it has quietly become one of Bali's best places for a proper cocktail. From colonial-glamour lounges to jungle-view rooftops, the town's craft-cocktail bars pour inventive drinks built on local spices, arak and tropical fruit well into the evening. It's a scene made for conversation rather than clubbing, with most bars winding down around midnight.
