The 21 Best Nightclubs In Bali
FINNS Beach Club: Regular International DJs At The World’s Best Beach Club
FINNS Beach Club, if we do say so ourselves, is the pinnacle of the Bali nightlife scene.
Just a stone’s throw from the Indian Ocean, you’ll find local and international DJs playing EDM day and night. Take advantage of our events, where we host the world’s top DJs like Diplo, Skrillex, Deadmau5 and more.
It’s considered to be one of the best nightclubs in Bali by every single person that’s been, and sipping on our signature cocktails while grooving to music is guaranteed to be a fun night.
We’ve been to a lot of beach clubs over the years, but FINNS is simply the world’s best.
Spend the day here first enjoying the infinity pool and then join in the parties in the evenings.
If you come to Bali and don’t come to FINNS? You’ve missed one of the definitive experiences the island has to offer.

Mirror Bali Lounge & Club
The hottest tunes are spun on the deck behind the stained glass windows of the oddest-looking club in Bali.
Mirror Balie Lounge is modelled on a medieval dining room, and it certainly gives the crowd, and the resident DJs a unique environment to play in.
They regularly have international DJs play here, and this vibrant nightlight option in Bali is what you might call a “multi-sensory experience”.
It has to be seen to be believed.

Friends
OK, Friends isn’t quite a nightclub, but it is a very big bar, and they have events with live DJs and parties that go on all night long. So, think of it as a mini club, but with great music and some of the best food around.
We can thoroughly recommend their happy hour with some great deals on cocktails and Heineken draft.
It’s one of the best nightlife spots in Canggu, and it’s somewhere that you can spend the whole day if you want to.

Boshe VVIP Club
This is hands down one of the best clubs around if karaoke is your jam in the nightlife scene.
They’ve really poured resources into tech at this top-notch nightclub in Bali, and you’ll notice their Funktion-One sound system is one of the loudest and most impressive on the island.
The laser lighting display is pretty spectacular too, with massive plasma screens wrapping around the dance floor!
Want a break from the hustle and bustle? You can always rent one of their private karaoke rooms, sip on signature cocktails, and sing your heart out!

Red Ruby Club
Red Ruby isn’t just one of the best nightclubs in Bali; it’s also surprisingly good value for Seminyak, where a night out can usually break the bank.
With an old-school New York vibe, the focus here is on electronica, electronic music, and live DJs spinning some wicked tracks.
You can also kick back at alfresco tables and enjoy refreshing drinks from their sister restaurant, “The Terrace.”
The dress code here is pretty laid-back, as it is at most hotspots in Bali. But if you’re on the hunt for someone special, it might be worth putting in a little extra effort!

Sky Garden Bali
After the sun sets, many of the biggest partygoers head to this famous member of the clubs in Bali.
It’s a rooftop club and one of the best clubs for enjoying the Balinese weather as you drink.
Of course, it’s more than a rooftop club, and there’s a whole nest of different rooms available to party in once the sun has gone down, but for most people, the rooftop is the initial attraction.
We like that the door fee includes your first drink (though only from a set menu, it’s not going to cover that 25-year-old single malt that you’ve always wanted to try, sadly).
There are also some very good food options nearby, so once you’re finished clubbing for the night, you can get your tucker on easily.

La Favela
Honestly, we’re still scratching our heads over who came up with the idea for La Favela, but in hindsight, it sure turned out to be a brilliant concept.
Drinks do come with a hefty price tag at La Favela, but if you’re okay with that, you’ll be greeted by artificial waterfalls and lush indoor gardens that really amp up your clubbing experience.
Table service is the norm until they start clearing tables to make way for more eager partygoers! Just a heads-up, though: La Favela closes early on weekends.

Motel Mexicola
Continuing with the Americas theme, we find Motel Mexicola spreading Mexican vibes in Seminyak and doing a great job of things.
As you might expect, there’s a lot of mezcal in the cocktails here, and it’s a solid place to have a really good time.
One thing you should be aware of, though, is that this nightclub seems to attract motorcycle snatchers outside, so keep a careful hold on your belongings when you leave, or they might spoil your good time.

Black Sand Brewery
OK, this definitely isn’t your standard club, but on the weekends, things get pretty wild at Black Sand, and the beer garden sees live DJs pumping out tunes and dancing and partying like you wouldn’t believe.
In fact, it’s a nightclub for people who don’t want to spend time in nightclubs. It’s the best nightlife option for the curmudgeonly folks who are fooling themselves that they’re “past all that” when they aren’t.
Where Is It? Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia

Deus
Deus Ex Machina is one of the quirkiest places in Bali, and we’re not entirely convinced everyone would classify it as a nightclub. It’s more like a biker bar, restaurant, biker shop, custom motorbike garage, and a whole lot more rolled into one.
That said, they do keep the party going late most nights, and if you’re after that distinct biker vibe while clubbing, this is the spot to be in all of Bali.
Oh, and the food? Surprisingly impressive! We can’t get enough of their delicious Japanese noodle soups!

Pretty Poison
Pretty Poison lives and breathes skating. There’s no shortage of skateboarders here, and you’ll often spot some of the world’s top skaters passing through.
They host a skate jam once a week, featuring live DJs and bands keeping the energy up all night long.
Expect a vibrant, youthful crowd, and best of all, the drinks are pretty reasonably priced.

Old Man’s Bar
There’s a good argument that this is more of a disco than a nightclub, and we agree.
However, you do get DJs here as the sun starts to sink below the horizon, and it’s a good place to have a warm-up session before moving on elsewhere to somewhere a bit more dynamic.

Bounty Discotheque
The locals lovingly refer to this place as the “Bounty Ship,” thanks to its ship-inspired design.
There’s no dress code whatsoever in this club, so if you want to rock up in your thongs and a singlet, you’re more than welcome to do just that.
Despite its laid-back vibe, it still draws in a crowd of eager partygoers, and they feature some of the most impressive professional dancers on the island.
Inside, you’ll find three bars, each serving up a fantastic variety of cocktails and beers to guarantee you have a rip-roaring good time!

Engine Room
If you’re after hip-hop, trap, and dub, then the Engine Room is your ultimate destination. This place is essentially three clubs in one, complete with four different bars to cater to your every whim.
The parties here are generally good-natured, but don’t worry—if things start to get a bit rowdy, their vigilant security team will be on it in no time, making sure your night isn’t spoiled by any misbehavior.
Nightclubs in Bali don’t get much better than the Engine Room, and the DJ Decks will have you hitting the dance floor the moment you step inside.
Oh, and if you’re wondering where OPIVM went, it’s simply transformed itself into the Engine Room!

Single Malt Whiskey Bar
Single malt is only an occasional nightclub, and most of the time, they’re focused on selling some of the best whiskey on the island.
But they do have DJs playing soulful classics some evenings, and if you check their website, you should have a good idea of what to expect on the night you choose to visit.
The design of this place is inspired by the book The Great Gatsby, and while it might not be first on the best clubs in Bali’s list, it definitely earns its place on it.

Hatch Bar Uluwatu
If you want a bar and nightclub combination that’s easy on your wallet and offers more than just a dance floor, you might be looking for Hatch Bar.
They have arcade machines, beer bong, foosball, and much more besides. Most of all, they have very, very cheap pitchers of cocktails, which make it easy to party as a big group without worrying about the bill.
They even have semi-indoor gardens to enjoy! If you want a late-night dance, it’s great for that too.

Shishi
This three-floor night spot in Bali is very popular for its unusual Asian fusion food and its very stylish crowd and decor.
The floor is always packed, and we know many people think that Shishi is one of the most underrated nightclubs in town.
They offer deep house music and an unforgettable night out if you’re up for some fun in this part of Bali’s vibrant nightlife.
We like that the entry fee includes your first drink and find that the late-night Wednesday crowd is one of the friendlies in Bali.

Lxxy (Temporarily closed for remodeling)
This colossal club in Legian can accommodate over 1,000 party enthusiasts at any given time, making it a massive hotspot.
If you decide to check it out, consider opting for one of their VIP experiences, giving you and your fellow ravers a bit more space to enjoy the night.
With a constantly rotating lineup of entertainment, they’re open until the early hours every single night. We’ve had some unforgettable hip-hop nights here over the years!
Since Bali has waved goodbye to day clubs, this is definitely the place to be if you’re keen on some late-night revelry!
Plus, the sound and lighting rig is state-of-the-art, really amplifying the party atmosphere.
Where is it? Jln Legian No.71, Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali 80361

Vault
With weekly guest DJs wandering all over the musical map, you never know what to expect at Vault, except for a good time.
The parties never end here, and the dance floor is always packed with people having a wonderful time of things.
If you love neon lights, a little glitz and glamour with your dance floors, then a trip to Vault is going to ensure that you really have a good time.
We like the cocktail bar here, The Bunker, too, which is always happy to create the kind of drink we want to be seen drinking in Bali.
If you want something a little more sophisticated than the norm, The Vault is it.

Paddy’s Pub
With free entry and cheap prices, you can’t really beat Paddy’s for the most inexpensive member of the EDM scene in Bali.
However, it could be more popular during the week and really only gets raging on weekends. This may or may not be a big deal to you.
If you want classic tunes, a laidback environment, and to go easy on your wallet, Paddy’s is a good choice. It’s the best nightlife option for those who value a good time and their cash.

1959 Cocktail Bar & Dance Club
The most sophisticated and small-scale club on our list is the 1959 Cocktail Bar & Dance Club.
They make some of the best cocktails on the island here, and there’s no doubt that the live music is very well done and appeals to a broader audience than the music in some of the other clubs.
It’s a very classy place to be, and table service is standard and of first-rate quality. Dress to impress, and you’ll be sure to have a great time at the 1959.

FAQs
Is Bali Good For Clubbing?
Yes! In fact, the best clubs in Bali rival the best clubs anywhere else in the world. People come from all over to have a good time on the island, and there’s a party option for everyone.
FINNS Beach Club is the premier destination, but as you can see from our best clubs in Bali list, you have plenty of options for nighttime fun.
Where Do Aussies Party In Bali?
Everywhere! Given how close Indonesia is to Bali, the primary group of holidaymakers here are Australians.
Wherever there is live music, live bands, underground bars, Sunday sessions, artificial waterfalls, private daybeds, and a good time to be had, you will find Australians in Bali.
Can You Meet Girls In Bali?
We’re not a dating agency, and we should note that the local culture is quite conservative. You can’t just make a pass at anyone you meet, but yes, of course, you can meet girls here.
Many tourists are looking for a good time at the clubs in Bali, but please don’t be creepy about things. If someone says they’re not interested, move on.
How Much Is Clubbing In Bali?
It depends on where you go. The more exclusive clubs in Bali and upmarket areas will charge more than more mainstream clubs.
However, you can get into a club without even paying admission. It’s not expensive to have a good time in Bali.
Is There Partying In Bali?
Yes, but be aware this isn’t Australia. The nightlife tends to get moving here much earlier than it does at home, and often, clubs must close at midnight.
Midnight is when things really can die down, and it’s not uncommon for people to move on to the few venues that are open till late.
At FINNS Beach Club, some folks will even grab breakfast before heading home!
Which Part of Bali Is Best For Nightlife?
It depends on what you’re really looking for from your clubs, but Kuta, Legian, Canggu and Seminyak have the most varied nightlife and plenty of nightclubs for you to enjoy.
FINNS Beach Club is Canggu, which is often considered to be the trendiest sport. Seminyak is quite upscale and expensive.
Kuta and Legian are the mass tourism hotspots and can be very cheap but also a bit downmarket compared to Canggu and Seminyak.
Final Thoughts On Nightlife In Bali
Whatever you do for fun in Bali, you need to visit FINNS for a night if you want to have the best time.
But there are plenty of other nightlife choices, too, and you can have a really varied and enjoyable time all over the island.
