The 20 Best Nightlife Spots in Canggu

So, if you want to party in Bali, even if you’re not into sunbathing, you’ll want to head down to FINNS just before sunset, grab a seat and order up a few beers or cocktails.
You can enjoy the incredible entertainment and then hit the dance floor in Monsoon party restaurant to finish your evening.

The food and nearly all the drinks are no more expensive than in the regular beach club at FINNS and it’s so nice to get the extra pampering that VIP offers.

Simple Beach Bar Times: 707 Beachberm
A great place to meet new friends on a night out in Canggu is 707 Beachberm which must be one of the most relaxed beach bars that we’ve ever encountered.
The best time to go is before sunset, get yourself a comfy bean bag on the sand, order up some icy cold drinks and then settle in to watch the sunset.
The food at this spot is not bad, either. If you like “surfer-style grub” then you’re going to find that this spot satisfies your hunger without breaking the bank.
Oh, and we should mention that the drinks are pretty cheap drinks for Bali and the happy hour makes things cheaper still.

A Fun Night Of Mexican Vibes: Lacalita Bar y Cocina
We recommend getting to Lacalita at happy hour (5PM to 7PM) and diving headfirst into the buy-one get-one free cocktails, it’s a great way to see in the transition from afternoon to evening.
They have drinks promos running all night long at this spot, so if you’re trying to maximize your drinking budget, you may find that you don’t need to go very far.
Watch out for the Sangria Saturday promo, it’s one of our favourites. You’ll find that as the evening progresses that this spot can get pretty wild.

A Wild Night And Japanese Food: Miss Fish
Yes, it’s a Japanese restaurant but that doesn’t mean that Miss Fish isn’t a party spot too, in fact, you’ll find that they have weekly events with live DJs on most nights.
It attracts a young and achingly fashionable crowd that loves to party into the small hours and you’ll find that they know a lot about the local music scene too.
Just don’t bother going on Mondays, they don’t open on Mondays.

Sand Bar Canggu: Where You Go When the Other Bars Are Closed
When all the pool tables in Canggu have been covered up, all the beach clubs are emptying out and the pubs are shuttered, people head to Sand Bar.
It’s a place where those who don’t want to stop drinking can enjoy a nightcap or five on the beach. There are live DJs playing all night long and everyone’s having a good time.
Just be prepared to wait for a ride-share at the end of the night, when everyone is going home and there aren’t that many drivers on the roads in Canggu at that time of the dawn.

X-Bar: The Converted Mini-Mart for a Party Vibe in the Open-Air
This peculiar spot used to be a mini-mart where people did their warm-up drinking for long closed spots like Pretty Poison. Then some bright spark realised that if people came here to drink, maybe it should be a bar?
Now, it is an open-air bar and it still has a reputation for cheap drinks and fun times. It’s a great place to meet up with your mates before heading out on the town and partying all night long.

Penny Lane: Hanging with the Fashionable Crowd
If you want something hip and upmarket for your night out, then Penny Lane might be the place you want to go.
This is a resto-bar and it looks amazing in your Instagram photos. The tapas selection they serve is very good and the cocktails are excellent.
It’s not the cheapest spot for a night out, but it’s often worth it.

The Barn: Make New Friends British-Style
The Great British pub ought to be a global institution and Bali’s contribution to making that happen is the very pleasant “The Barn”.

There’s no pool table at this spot, but they have plenty of unusual options for pub games to keep you entertained all night long.

Friends Bar: A Party Every Night of the Week
Friends is a great spot to either start your night in Canggu or to finish it off. They’re famous for being willing to stay open as late as their customers want them to stay open.
We love the comfortable chic vibes of this place and they have regular events that add something extra to a night out.
It’s one of the few places in the neighbourhood where you will find the expat crowd hanging out and having fun in the evenings too, so they must be doing something right.

Deus Ex Machina: Party Hard with the Biker Set
This is one of the oddest venues in Canggu it’s a cafe with a motorbike theme. But it’s also a motorbike workshop, fashion boutique (with, yes, you guessed it a certain “bikeness” about it) and more.
If your serious about your bikes, or about your cocktails, this is a great place to hang out and enjoy chill times among new friends.

Gimme Shelter: Live Music All-Night Long
There isn’t a huge live music scene in Canggu and Gimme Shelter is a bit further from town than it once was but if you love rubbing shoulders with a crowd energized by amazing tunes, it’s worth the trip.
You’ll find that the steep ride-share price of getting there is offset by the cheap drink deals inside Gimme Shelter too.

Luigi’s Hot Pizza: Monday Night Madness
Luigi’s is famous for its Monday Night deals which emphasize pizza, partying and excellent drink deals. It’s definitely not your standard Italian restaurant.

Canggu Nightlife Scene – A Quick Guide to All You Need to Know
Where to Party in Canggu?
As you might expect in a beach town like Canggu, the best Canggu nightlife is located very near the beaches. So, it’s often best to stay near the beaches and then everything is within walking distance at the end of the night.
It’s also a great way to get access to the beach clubs and beach bars in the area at any time of day. But don’t worry, if you’re staying a bit further away – you don’t have to miss out on a Saturday night out or ladies’ night, you can easily get a Grab or Gojek to bring you to the action.
So, look out for the best places to party in Canggu when you plan your holiday. They are Berawa Beach, Batu Bolong Beach and Echo Beach.
You won’t have any problem finding a dance floor and the music you love from hip-hop to house music to techno music, it’s all here in Canggu.
How to Stay Safe in Canggu at Night
Before you head out on the town of Canggu, it’s helpful to know the following:
- You ought to be 21 – the legal drinking age in Indonesia is 21. You may be asked for ID when you order drinks or sign up to play beer pong in a bar. So, make sure to carry some (we’d go with a passport copy on your phone rather than carrying the real thing).
- You shouldn’t drink and drive – drinking and driving is an even worse idea in Bali than it is at home. You will be held criminally liable for any damage you cause while drunk and the terrible roads and low driving standards on the island, make an accident much more likely than at home.
- You should use Grab or Gojek – the ride-sharing apps will be happy to take you from a pizza restaurant to a party in Bali and they will do it for less money than a taxi will. It’s safer to take a car than it is to use a scooter.
- You should wear a helmet on a scooter – not only will this keep your brain inside your head where it belongs, but it will stop you from being stopped and fined by the police too.
- You should keep your possessions physically close – there’s not much crime in Bali, but there is some petty crime and bag snatching is a crime of opportunity. Keep your bag close up against your body and on the side of your body away from the street. Then, there’s no opportunity.
What’s it Going to Cost to Party in Canggu?
It’s fair to say that you’re going to find reasonably priced drinks in Canggu but not the cheapest alcohol in the world.
If you’re going bar hopping, you may want to warm up with a few beers at the local minimart which will cost about $2 (USD) or $3 (AUD) each. Whereas if you’re in a club with the cream of local and international DJs playing, you may pay $7-$9 for a beer.
Cocktails are a bit more expensive and $10-$12 is about right. However, don’t forget that the secret to enjoying Bali nightlife is to check for happy hours before you go out and time your late-night stops with happy hour to get buy one get one free deals on cocktails.

But there are plenty of other options in the area too and you can do something different every night for several weeks without having to repeat a night out.
