A late night spot for the Jaggers at heart, Gimme Shelter is where Canggu’s rock’n’rollers gather for a night of music and booze. Expect a rotating list of talented bands hitting the stage daily, and if you fancy yourself as the next biggest rockstar, then get down for Monday’s open mic nights. Our top tip: pre-game with spicy bites from the Cajun Kitchen, and hit the skate park before you rock out all night.

11. Old Man’s
An oldie but a goodie, Old Man’s is a surfie-cool bar with beer-garden vibes that continues to buzz every day of the week.

The best dance clubs and late-night bars in Kuta & Legian
16. Sky Garden
One of the largest night clubs in Bali with not one but five entertainment areas, Sky Garden has been taking the island’s nightlife scene to sky-high levels for almost two decades! We say, start the night with the all-you-can-eat buffet in the Rooftop Garden Lounge before pre-gaming at the bar in the Sky Lounge. Or for something more chilled, head to the cosy Bang Bang Lounge. Then, make a stop at the fully refurbished Bliss Club, before going wild at the Sky Dome, where top EDM DJs (and we mean top, with the likes of Steve Aoki and Afrojack!) spin high energy party tunes all night.
Sky Garden, Jl Legian No. 60, Kuta, p. +62 811 3810 9081; Open daily from 9pm.

Standing proud amidst the OG dance clubs of Kuta, LXXY has got it all from day to night. This vibrant destination is complete with a pool club, an art-ainment zone, and of course, a night club on the second floor. Think modern designs, a line-up of international and local DJs, cutting-edge sound systems, as well as a spacious dance floor, giving you an immersive nightlife experience. We say, reserve a VIP table for up to 10 frieneds, or upgrade to the VIP mezzanine that offers a 360° view of the club.
