When you’re in Ubud — the yoga capital of Bali, you can expect a refreshing approach to wellness. Doing a night yoga session is one of these elements.

A night yoga session can relax you physically and mentally deeper amidst the town’s tranquil ambience. Combining a serene environment under the starlit sky helps release tension and induces calmness. It’s quite a contrast from the brightness and rush of daytime!

The cool night breeze and soft rustling of leaves create a peaceful atmosphere. These elements help you feel more connected to nature and yourself. Doing yoga at night quietens your mind. You can unwind easily for a restful sleep.

  1. Climb Mount Batur To See the Magical Sunrise

Experience the beauty of a Balinese sunrise from the summit of Mount Batur, an active volcano.

Your hike begins in the night. You navigate rugged trails under a star-studded sky with the help of local guides. The cool mountain breeze, the occasional rustling of leaves, and the peacefulness of the night create a serene atmosphere.

As you reach the peak at dawn, you gradually witness the sky turn orange and pink. The sun rises behind Mount Agung and casts its warm light across Lake Batur below.
This hike is an experience — perhaps one of the best sunrises you might ever see.

Definitely one of the best bars I’ve visited in Bali. We ordered the refreshing The Primitivist, the spicy The Novelist, and the fruity The Dancer. None of them dissappointing, so delicious and unique. The foods are also delicious and light-bites. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing experience here. From the food to all the cocktails served, it was extremely good! The staff here are friendly and very attentive and accommodating. Kudos to Panji for making me feel super comfortable especially being there on my Birthday and first ever solo trip. I would definitely go back here the next I’m in Bali!

Do yourself a favour and go to Pinstripe Bar when in Ubud!!! We had an exceptional evening … the bar is beautifully setup with its 1930’s vibe (including some props scattered around like the old pistol I had such fun playing with), the cocktails are amazing and full of sensory experiences whether it’s dry ice, smoked wormwood, peacock feathers and much more, food is great coming out of the adjoining restaurant kitchen.We’re not smokers but we had such fun heading into the cigar room and choosing a cigar and sitting on the balcony puffing on a cigar and drinking a whisky sour.But the best part of the evening is easily the staff!!! Each of the mixologists were absolutely amazing, not just with drinks, but being so fun, engaging and entertaining in all the ways you want. A massive thank you Changgu, Eric and the team - you made our night special.Oh and read the menu and learn a bit about 1930’s Ubud. So interesting!!

We were gifted with a beautiful night out and treated to one of Balis finest evenings. Exquisite food, impeccable ambiance and without a doubt in my mind, one of the best cocktail mixologist there is. Words do not do this place justice. Definitely an experience we will never forget. PS The deserts are truly incredible as was the Lobster tortellini.

Some say it’s hard to pin down what takes a cocktail bar from good to great. But I disagree as you only have to step inside Pinstripe Bar to see outstanding in action.It’s apparent in the warm welcome, the professional and assured service. It is on display in the curated cocktail list which are made with the world’s top spirit brands and each with a story behind them.Not only that but the sense of place is at Pinstripe Bar is incredible as it seamlessly combines Balinese hospitality together with a 1930’s speakeasy vibe.All guest need to do is settle in, peruse the menu and let this magical experience begin. Cocktails offer incredible flavour combinations including native Balinese ingredients, they magically transform colour in the glass and appear topped with smoke filled bubbles for impact.This theatre adds another level to the experience of enjoying creative cocktails with the team at Pinstripe Bar. Combined with stunning architecture, outstanding food and the sheer scale of the venue makes Pinstripe Bar a must-visit on visit to Bali.

I went to Pinstripe while me and some friends had a staycation in Tegalalang for the weekend. After had dinner we decided to go check the bar at Pinstripe to get maybe one or two glass of margarita. Once I saw their cocktails menu, I had difficulties to choose between their well-crafted menu. Then Panji, the head mixologist served us a welcome drinks, I never expect the taste to be sooo delicious. From there I totally forgot the margarita and just let Panji surprise me with the magical taste of the cocktails that are so delicious I cannot stop sipping them. I tried to guess the ingredients Panji use in my cocktails, which of course mostly failed. The cocktails ingredients are source locally which really interesting because many of them usually use as cooking ingredients.Definitely will come back to try all the menu.

This is one of my favourite cocktail bars in Ubud! Pinstripe is a must visit bar that is great to visit solo or with a group of friends. They have a huge range of premium spirits, if you are into tequila, gin or whiskeys, this place has the biggest range in Ubud.The cocktails are really inventive and aesthetic. Personally I love the Mezcal one with the peacock feather, it is delicious and the flavours are balanced perfectly.The atmosphere is cosy yet it’s a large space with an indoor and outside terrace with jungle views. Perfect place to sit of an afternoon with cocktails or wine and then move inside for the lively atmosphere at night time.This bar is really unique and I recommend to all my friends visiting Bali to make sure they don’t miss out on visiting!

We started our degustation at the bar with our complimentary cocktail served with 3 different amuse bouche.The atmosphere is lovely. We felt taken back to the 1930sMake sure to get early to your restaurant reservation so you can enjoy an aperitif here.

This is simply as good as a bar gets. It is somewhat hidden and more a speak easy than a bar. Staff is impeccably talented. The atmosphere is perfect right down to the smallest detail. I only wish we went here earlier. It may just be the best bar experience in Bali, and that is truly quite that statement.

Exquisite drinks. Didn’t eat this time. Will be back 100%.Come here if you value:- exceptionally drinks with presentation- fluent English speaking, attentive waitstaff- a low-key vibe, fancy atmosphere, tastefully decorative and clean facilities that sets a 1950s moodWent here an hour before closing for nightcaps. And no they didn’t kick us out even after it was closed. Managed to have 4 cocktails between two people plus complimentary welcome AND send off drinks. The send off drink is that light purple potion, which I forget the name of, and it’s unforgettably delicious.Smoking allowed on the deck area. Think cigars are available for purchase.Look forward to returning for more poisons.
