Best Nightlife in Ubud (2026)

Ubud is not a party town, and its evenings are better suited to a good cocktail, a live band or a dance performance than to clubbing. The liveliest stretch is Jalan Monkey Forest, where The Laughing Buddha has live blues, rock, reggae and soul most nights, No Más mixes strong drinks with bands playing everything from covers to salsa, and CP Lounge stays open into the early hours with live music, DJs and a pool.

For something quieter, Night Rooster on Jalan Goutama Selatan is the cocktail bar of the Locavore NXT team, mixing drinks from Bali's wild botanicals, and Bacari on Jalan Goutama pours 20 wines by the glass alongside tapas. Pinstripe, the speakeasy-style bar at Viceroy Bali in Petulu, is the choice for a polished drink before dinner. Many visitors begin the evening with a traditional dance performance at Ubud Palace and move on to a bar afterwards. Most central bars are within walking distance of each other, which helps, as getting a car late at night can take some planning.
