5 popular night spots in Bali for Australians

February 20th, 2012

Australian Guide: Bali After Dark

Bali remains one of the most gorgeous Indonesian attractions for tourists. It is an island located on the west end of the Lesser Suna Islands, with a current population of four million people. Bali tours are becoming more and more popular for Australians. One reason could be because of Bali’s remarkable night life, which seems to be consistent, despite weather, or other obstacles.

Ku De Ta is one of Bali’s most popular night-dining restaurants. Located in the area of Seminyak, Ku De Ta is an upscale dining experience on the beach, with a unique layout, including a bar, main dining area, and beachfront lawn, where all nighttime events occur. This beachside haven is undeniably a gratifying experience to any Australian and has quickly become a favourite. Asian-inspired creations from Thailand and Japan are crafted by an outstanding culinary team.

Even though the Bali Theatre only hosts shows a couple times a week, they are still a must-see for any Bali tour. The Bali Theatre is a large, air-conditioned, clean and modern building, with sensational shows and an exceptional staff. Australians will absolutely love the lively costumes, live animals, professional lighting and effects (smoke, water, etc.), and immense, colourful stage props. The convenience of buying a ticket at the theatre ten minutes before any show is also a plus. Dances usually last about an hour each evening.

Evening shows are perfectly fine, since nightlife in Bali doesn’t start until around the early morning hours. After a fun show, or simple dinner, Bali bars (M-Bar-Go, Paddy’s) and pubs (Borneo Pub, Trophy Pub) are the most populated areas on the island after dark. Paddy’s nightclub tends to be attractive to the younger crowds, while the M-Bar welcomes a more mature age of party-goers. They offer Australians to come enjoy some drinks and hit the disco floor!

A famous gameroom in Ubud (a central Bali location), The Melting Pot Gameroom, is a recent addition to the Jalan Hanoman strip. It is Bali’s upcoming social outlet, equipped with food, darts, great food, drinks and fun. Pool tables and cheap games are certainly no stranger to several mid-nighters in Bali. A collector’s item for this game spot is a bundle of flag’s from various countries, hanging on their walls for all tourists to see. The best thing about the Melting Pot? Several nightlife restaurants and clubs across the road! (Even though it’s doubted anyone would decide to ditch the place for something more fun.)

No Australian can have a phenomenal time on his or her Bali tour without visiting the Ubad Water Palace, Puri Dalem Ubad or the Agung Rai Muesum of Art. All of these epic venues are located within the cultural capital of Bali. Balinese dancing is a grand tradition that is heavily-displayed at all of the showcases. Australians can view performances that are staged at every full moon, every night. One popular dance held is the shadow puppet (wayang kulit).The Ubud Tourist Information Bureau sells tickets for these incredibly-crafted performances, as does each venue, 15 minutes before each dance.
