Entertainment in Bali, Indonesia

Bali has a diverse choice of nightspots, including many bars and clubs. The island is also home to various well-known tipples. These include Bintang (Indonesia’s most popular beer), Bali Hai (the local beer), Hatten (wines produced locally), and traditional spirits like ‘arak’ and ‘brem’.

The island’s party hotspot is Kuta, where you’ll find lots of clubs. Many of these venues have tight security policies. Seminyak is becoming increasingly popular with revellers, due to an influx of top class bars and clubs. Quieter than the popular southern locations, Lovina still offers a host of impressive night time options.

As well as being home to a vibrant bar and club scene, Bali also boasts a rich culture of traditional dance. While there, try to check out a ‘barong’ (lion dance), depicting the fight between good and evil, or a ‘kecak’ (monkey dance), which can involve up to 250 dancers.

Various freesheets are available with lots of great information about Bali’s nightlife. Have a look at Groove, What’s Up Bali, Bali Plus or The Beat to see what’s happening during your stay.
