It’s no secret that I love cocktails. And lucky for me, Bali has no shortage of award-winning bars where mixology is both an artform and science.

So, after countless nights bar-hopping across the island, I’ve shortlisted the very best cocktails in Bali. From classic Negroni perfected, to one-of-a-kind signature drinks featuring Bali’s local spices, herbs and ferments… Bottoms up, Honeys!

Tropical mixology meets island innovation with rum-forward, Bali-inspired flavours.
When it comes to finding the best cocktail on the menu, where do you even start at this cocktail and beach club mecca? Well, we usually begin with Potato Head’s most popular numbers, like the bright and herbaceous Kookaburra with its passionfruit foam, and the super beautiful Bina Colada that just screams paradise island.
Our latest go-to? It has to be the tropical Limo Jungle at Potato Head’s newest restaurant, Dome. Limo Jungle features Indonesia’s own Nusa Caña rum, and Bali-born Limo Aperitivo.
Price: IDR 165,000++
Where: Dome Restaurant at Desa Potato Head.

3. Botanical Garden at Mama San – Seminyak
Elegant, floral cocktail artistry in one of Bali’s most iconic dining destinations.
One of our absolute fave bars to prop up in Bali (not to mention the restaurant, which has always been our go-to for dinner) Mama San has become a household name here in Bali – one of the first island icons to introduce epic Asian food and top-notch cocktails to our feasting rituals. We regularly sip on Mama San‘s famous Negronis, as well as their Thyme To Spritz that uses pear and sparkling wine.
But if there’s one reason why we’re obsessed with this gourmet name, it’s the beautiful and elegant Botanical Garden. It blends fruity sweetness and floral sophistication in one glass. You’ve just got to try it.
Price: IDR 160,000++
Where: Mama San.

4. The Lossie Haze at The Howff – Nusa Lembongan
Speakeasy vibes meet smoky Scotch whisky perfection.
As if we need more reason to hop over to Nusa Lembongan, The Howff is a secret whiskey & gin bar with views to die for, tucked away under The Deck and overlooking turquoise ocean and the majestic Mount Agung. It also happens to serve some of our very fave tipples.
We can’t get enough of The Lossie Haze, made with Glen Moray Speyside whiskey to add smoothness to this hazy, smokey and wood-infused cocktail. A homemade orange peel syrup and Angostura bitters add a zesty twist to this liquid ode to Scotland.
Price: IDR 185,000++

Address: Jungut Batu, Nusa Lembongan.

5. The Composer at Pinstripe Bar – Ubud
A sophisticated, sensory cocktail experience inspired by Bali’s cultural pioneers.
For an extra special tipple, head to the opulent and Colonial-style Pinstripe Bar at Viceroy Bali. Here at this fine dining showpiece, you can prop up the mahogany bar and sip on upmarket cocktails inspired by the 1930s. Each one has been specially created to honour the wave of historical travellers to Bali who instantly fell in love with the magical island.
The Composer for example, is inspired by Colin McPhee, the first Western composer to make an ethnomusicological study of Bali. The cocktail itself is a harmonious multi-sensory experience, made from caramelised pandan whisky, Mezcal Joven and Fernet Branca, smoked with recycled coffee incense for extra mystical vibes…
Price: IDR 230,000++
Where: Viceroy Bali.
Address: Br. Nagi, Jl Lanyahan, Petulu, Ubud.
Opening hours: Daily, 4pm – 11.30pm.
6. London Calling at The Plantation Grill – Seminyak
Classic elegance in a 1920s-inspired bar serving timeless gin perfection.
The Plantation Grill‘s list of rock n’ roll cocktails are as punchy and potent as the rockstars they personify, but you can’t go wrong with their list of modern classics too. But, there’s one signature that’s always been on The Plantation Grill’s cocktail list: London Calling. It’s always been a favourite, for good reasons: maybe it’s the London Dry Gin smoothened by elder flower syrup, or maybe the unique chamomile ice cube that makes it a wonderful pre-dinner aperitivo.
All of this is then topped off with the restaurant’s Sling Bar’s elegant 1920’s ambiance. Top tip: pair your cocktails with The Plantation Grill’s fabulous fine dining steak.
Price: IDR 180,000++

Located high up at the top of The Apurva Kempinski Bali, the world-renowned graffiti artist Cyril Kongo invites you to his exclusive art studio where he combines his love of street art, cigars, high-end spirits and music, all in one lounge.
L’Atelier by Cyril Kongo’s outdoor terrace is the perfect space to treat yourself to Cuban cigars and ultra-unique cocktails. We love the tropical Balinese Treasure, made from gin and papaya-infused vermouth bianco topped with strawberry water and a citrus squeeze. And for the second round, you’ll definitely want to try the delish Apurva Old Fashioned with jasmine rice- and pandan-infused bourbon, too!

Break out the superlatives for this hidden paradise nestled at the bottom of Uluwatu’s dramatic sea cliffs. A boutique beach club with the whitest sand, bluest water and tropical-est of vibes (yeah we just made that word up), Karma Beach is simply stunning. It’s home to two oceanfront venues: Le Club 22 and the Tiki Bar, adding to Karma Kandara’s never-ending list of outstanding drinking dens.
The bar is all about high-end cocktails (a classic negroni or martini), alongside creative faves like Ariel’s Dream, and our top pick: the Vanilla Passion, made with vanilla-infused vodka, passionfruit puree, apple juice, and more vanilla, because there’s no such thing as too much vanilla!

The Best Cocktails In Bali: Classics With A Twist
9. The Bloody Mary at The St. Regis Bali Resort – Nusa Dua
Iconic brunch cocktails reimagined with bold Southeast Asian spice and style.
Did you know that in 1934, bartender Fernand Petiot arrived at The St. Regis New York with a recipe for a unique vodka and tomato juice cocktail that he perfected at the King Cole Bar? Now a staple tipple, the Bloody Mary remains the signature cocktail of The St. Regis brand today. And The St. Regis Bali Resort proudly presents three renditions of this legendary classic.
While you can’t go wrong with the New York OG, you’d want to spice it up with Chilli Padi Mary inspired by the brand’s Singapore address. This iconic cocktail uses flavours of Southeast Asia, like lemongrass, ginger and chilli. It packs a punch to kickstart your day alongside The St. Regis’ famous Sunday brunches.
Price: IDR 265,000++
Where: The St. Regis Bali Resort.
Address: Kawasan Pariwisata, Lot S6, Nusa Dua.
Opening hours: Daily, from 3pm.
10. Kelapa Negroni at Sundara Beach Club – Jimbaran
A coconut-infused twist on a classic Negroni, best enjoyed at sunset.
Jimbaran’s beachfront, infinity-pooled stunner is without doubt one of Bali’s best sunset bars, and with such a serious rep must come serious cocktails. At Sundara Beach Club, their house-infused Arak cocktails are all sure-fire winners, but our forever-fave has to be the signature Kelapa Negroni – a tropical take on the classic cocktail made with coconut fat washed gin, house bitter, sweet vermouth and Wilson. The perfect accompaniment to a shimmering sunset.
Price: IDR 240,000++
Where: Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay.
Address: Jl Bukit Permai, Jimbaran.
Opening hours: Daily, from 11am.
11. Lacalaca Margarita at Lacalita – Canggu & Seminyak
Spicy jalapeño margaritas meet Mexican fiesta vibes and taco Tuesdays.
With Mexican joints popping up all over the island, the humble Margarita has been reinvented on countless occasions. But forget novel ingredients like lavender and salted caramel. All we need is a bit of Jalepeño-infused spice added to the classic margarita to send us into fits of tequila-induced hysteria.
You can find the best spicy margarita in Bali at Lacalita Bar y Cocina in Canggu and Seminyak – namely Lacalaca. Top tip: swing by on a Tuesday for the weekly 25k tacos to pair your margis with.
Price: IDR 150,000++
Where: Lacalita Bar y Cocina.
Address: Jl Batu Bolong No. 68, Canggu & Jl Drupadi No. 1, Seminyak.
Opening hours: Daily, from 12pm in Canggu & 11am in Seminyak.
12. Gin Martini at Jati Bar – Ubud
Earthy, terracotta-aged martinis crafted amid Ubud’s lush riverside jungle.
Served up in the lush jungles of Ubud, Jati Bar at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan slings the classics using locally-sourced coconut, bamboo and teak wood to barrel-age their cocktails for 30 days or longer, while local artisan terracotta casks produce smooth, cohesive and complex flavours.
We love the Gin Martini – the first terracotta-aged Martini in Bali that undergoes a 42-day ageing process to give it an earthy twist. Or the Hanky Panky that revives a now-forgotten tradition of glass-ageing in Bali, made with gin, Fernet Branca and sweet vermouth. It’s a full-flavoured cocktail with a sweet edge, counterbalanced by a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Price: IDR 230,000++
Where: Four Seasons Resort Bali At Sayan.
Address: Jl Raya Sayan, Sayan, Ubud.
Opening hours: Daily, from 12pm.
13. Revolver Espresso Martini at Revolver – Canggu & Seminyak
Coffee meets cocktail culture with Bali’s most iconic espresso martini.
What happens when you take the island’s favourite Revolver cold-drip coffee, throw in a kick of alcohol (vodka and coffee liqueur), and shake it up with a dash of caramel behind the bar of the coolest espresso shop in town? An espresso martini like no other, that’s what!
The Revolver Espresso Martini is as legendary as its coffee, best enjoyed at one of ‘Revs’ night parties in Canggu, or with a table full of grazing plates like burrata, calamari, burgers and a chicken Caesar – yes, they serve epic food too!
Price: IDR 90,000++
Where: Revolver.
Address: Jl Kayu Aya Gang 51, Seminyak & Jl Nelayan No. 5, Canggu.
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 11pm.
Revolver Seminyak Menu Revolver Canggu Menu
14. Sexiest Colada at The Shady Pig – Canggu
Speakeasy glamour and avant-garde mixology redefine the classic colada.
An experimental sipping lounge inspired by the 1920s, one step inside The Shady Pig and you’re transported back in time, complete with speakeasy-style vibes and some serious contraband on the cocktail menu. These guys have thrown out the rule-book and replaced it with a creative, ‘anything goes’ experimental approach to cocktail-making. And they’re obsessed with making their own ingredients too. From house-crafted spirits, tinctures and syrups, to distillation, infusions, barrel-ageing and fermentation, the result is pretty spectacular.
Our all-time fave is their take on the Piña Colada – a multi-layered version that deconstructs all the typical flavours and ingredients of the classic. Fancy a sip? Just make sure you know the password to get in…
Price: IDR 160,000++
Where: The Shady Pig.
Address: Jl Pantai Berawa No. 168, Berawa, Canggu.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, from 7pm.
15. Sea Circus Bloody Mary at Sea Circus – Seminyak
Vibrant brunch cocktails crafted with spice, flair and early-morning indulgence.
Double Absolut vodka, tomato juice, homemade horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, coriander and pepper served with a celery juice ice cube and a celery salt rim – now THAT is how you make a Bloody Mary.
Sea Circus is one of the only venues in Bali where it feels completely acceptable – even a little classy – to down an alcoholic beverage before 10am. And for that, we are eternally indebted to them. FYI, their selection of frozen margaritas is another winner.
Price: IDR 130,000++
Where: Sea Circus.
Address: Jl Kayu Aya No. 22A, Seminyak.
Opening hours: Daily, 7.30am – 10pm.
16. Twisted Martinis at Naughty Nuri’s – Sanur & Seminyak
Legendary martinis, BBQ ribs and Bali’s most spirited “Shake Shake” dance.
Whether you’re a long-time Bali local or just holidaying, every foodie knows Naughty Nuri’s. Not only legendary for its sticky ribs, this carnivorous haven is home to jumbo-sized margaritas and twisted martinis, served with the famous “Shake Shake” dance with every order. These bigger-than-your-head cocktails can be shared, but we dare you to drink them by yourself – after all, you’ll get your name carved on the Nuri’s Wall of Fame if you sink four in one sitting.
And FYI – celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain claimed that Naughty Nuri’s martinis were the best he’d tried outside of New York. It’s even written in the guest book if you don’t believe us!
Price: IDR 115,000++
Where: Naughty Nuri’s.
Address: Jl Mertanadi No. 62, Kerobokan, Seminyak & Jl Bypass Ngurah Rai No. 77, Sanur.

FAQs On Drinking Cocktails In Bali
Is it safe to drink cocktails in Bali?
Generally yes, drinking cocktails in Bali is safe when done at reputable bars, beach clubs, and resorts. However, caution is advised because of counterfeit or illegally-distilled spirits (such as unregulated Indonesian moonshine called arak) which have posed health risks.
Key tips: Stick to established venues, ask about ingredients, avoid street-stalls serving unbelievably cheap cocktails, and monitor how you feel after drinking.
What is the legal drinking age for cocktails in Bali?
The legal minimum age to buy or consume alcohol - including cocktails - in Bali and the rest of Indonesia is 21 years old, applying to both locals and tourists.
Are cocktail bars in Bali reliable in terms of hygiene and drink quality?
Yes, many bars and clubs in Bali pride themselves on quality and safety, but you should still evaluate each venue. Factors like visible cleanliness, known brand spirits, and busy venues indicate better reliability.
What local spirits or mixes should I be cautious about when drinking cocktails in Bali?
One local spirit to approach with caution is arak, a traditional Balinese distilled liquor. That being said, it can be authentic and safe, provided that you drink arak-based cocktails at well-known bars. Ask for branded bottles, and avoid “free flow” cheap deals that might hide unsafe ingredients.
How much are cocktails in Bali?
Standard cocktails in reputable bars range between IDR 120,000 to IDR 250,000 depending on venue, location, and ingredients.
