Kuta Nightlife : Sky Garden 61 Legian Bali

Roxuai : Kuta Nightlife : Sky Garden 61 Legian Bali

Legian Sky garden is the most crowded and most popular club in Bali but it inly occupies the top floor of Legian 61, so this tip will be on the Legian 61 Complex, I will have a separate tip on the Legian Sky Garden. 61 Legian is the tallest building in the JL Legian area and you would not miss it as it lies just beside the Vi Ai Pi and a stone's throw away from the Bali Bomb Memorial. this buidling complex houses 6 floors and 10 different entertainment complexes like ESC Urban Food Station, Blarney Stone, Club Cyclone, Brandy's Club, Heineken Beer Garden, VIP Gold Pass Lounge, The VIP Sky High Club, George's Sports and the most popular of them all, the Legian Sky Garden at the Roof Top. these complexes have different opening and closing times but the main entrance is located at the ground floor of which foreigners are charged an entrance fee of 50,000 rupiah for entrance for all venues

Sky Garden started as a simple, forward-thinking, dining and entertainment venue on Jalan Legian, right in the centre of downtown Kuta in 2005. From those humble beginnings they have now become one of the largest and most frequented venues on the island. Sky has always had a trend setting, contemporary edge right from the beginning, utilizing dynamic ideas, design and promotional visuals and activities to attract a variety of customers over the years including expats, locals, and obviously a large bunch of tourists. With the final stages being completed now, and with a firm date of completion locked in for this December 26th, we thought it was time the beat caught up with Marketing Chief, Sean Mac for a chat about Bali’s busiest venue.

Another good thing about Sky Garden is that the entrance is free, so if you are not sure whether you will like it or not, you can always check inside first. If you order drinks though, it will be more expensive than the average for Kuta (Rp50k for a beer if I remember correctly). The different complexes are interconnected by several stairways and different dance lounges and you would hardly know where the specific area you are unless you read the signs signifying you are in this particular place.  most of the venues are open from 6:00 pm to 3:00 am everyday

Dress Code: 

casual, they accept shorts and flip flops but no beach attire please.

Made's Warung Kuta Bali

Roxuai : Made's Warung Kuta Bali

Made's Warung is located along Kuta Beach Road (Jalan Pantai Kuta).Made's Warung is a large venue with enough space to cater for large groups. I sat at a table next to the inner patio and had a carrot juice and some prawns crackers while waiting for my Nasi Campur special.  A Nasi Campur is not a specific dish. It simply means a meal of plain rice with different "sides". My Nasi Campur special included curried aubergines, green chicken curry, deep-fried tempeh, chili prawns, anchovies, cucumber salad, spinach, fried tofu, chili, curried fish, a sort of ratatouille and sambal. I may have forgotten some of the sides, but I remember how tasty and filling the whole dish was

This restaurant is famous along the area, and many fellows blogger had a comments about it!   Comprehensive menu of both loccal and western dishes. Nice ambience with that laid back Balinese feel as the ceiling fans rotate slowly and you see the different crowd in the restaurant. A favourite place to meet , have a meal and catch-up for the locals, expats and tourist.  

The Nasi Campur was serve in a big portion of beef, chicken, vegetables and other local special. The aroma of the rice was good! I like Curry chicken which was cook in a different method, I believe the local spices made the curry taste so Delicious!  Most of us cannot finish all, because all serve in big portion! 

Favorite Dish: 

Lumpia, Vegetable roll in a thin batter and deep fried. Nasi Goreng a one plate complete meal taste good at Made's too. They also serve yummy Pisang Goreng drizled with chocolate sauce and honey or you can request for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Dinner at Rumours Seminyak

Roxuai : Dinner at Rumours Seminyak


If you're looking for nice places to eat in Bali that are similar to those in Kemang, head down to Laksmana Oberoi. Here, the streets are lined with nice (and even posh) restaurants, but there's a particular stretch that's concentrated with Italian eateries, to name a few: Rumours, Trattoria & Ultimo. A friend of mine recommended me to check out Ultimo and Rumours (thanks Jürgen!), but we decided to settle for the latter because it looked lively from outside. This place is actually a hybrid of bar / restaurant, with bar stools and a pool table. I'd say it's quite a nice place for romantic dinner, except for the loud music.


Rumours Cafe is located along Jalan Laksmana (Oberoi), not far from Ku De Ta. After a drink at the very chic Ku De Ta, this is a nice place to stop by for a bite. The menu offers a nice mix of mainly Western dishes, and many bloggers have high praise for their steaks and pasta. Prices here are definitely more sensible then Ku De Ta or the other high-end establishments in Bali.

Simple but cozy interior.


We order a Grilled Seafood Platter, an Aglio Olio, and a Beef Stroganoff. The Seafood Platter was certainly impressive. It came with generous portions of fresh scallops, mussels, prawns, squid and a whole crab. All of it was good except for the crab which was totally inedible as there wasn’t any meat inside the shells. The sauce which came with the dish was very good - intense flavours of sun-dried tomatoes and garlic.We order a Grilled Seafood Platter, an Aglio Olio, and a Beef Stroganoff.

The Aglio Olio was a bit different from what we are used to. It was a bit too oily, and bland. Not enough herbs or chili flakes.

The Beef Stroganoff was actually quite good. Tender, flavourful pieces of beef cooked with mushrooms. We were a bit too full to finish the mashed potatoes served with it.

Dinner at Rumours Seminyak

We would definitely recommend Rumours for a nice and affordable. Service was also very efficient and attentive. A real find in Seminyak.

Bali Nightlife : Vi Ai Pi Club and Lounge Legian

Roxuai : Bali Nightlife : Vi Ai Pi Club and Lounge Legian 

It’s no secret that the main thoroughfare in Kuta, the infamous Jalan Legian is home to a string of establishments that are known chiefly for their throbbing nightlife and club-hopping with a troupe of mates, but it’s also a hot-spot where loads of great food options are available too. Vi Ai Pi club, located right smack bang in the centre of town, is one of them, with a top notch menu of lip-smacking local and Western style fare, super friendly service and live music, all housed in their breezy upstairs venue.

A short hop up the entrance steps reveals an open-sided dining room with the large central bar in the centre and main stage directly above the staircase. The chic black décor and industrial touches give off a classy air that makes for an extremely pleasant place to sit and watch the throng of people pass by below.

The Vi Ai Pi is one of the landmarks in the JL Legian area and sits just a few steps away from the Bali Bomb Memorial and lies across the exit of Poppies Lane 2 to JL Legian. It is one of the more vibrant bars cum lounge in JL Legian and offers open air comfort in a two storey building and they have nightly live bands performing assorted music like RNB, Pop, Hip Hop, Rock and more and with no cover charge. they also have periodic bikini contests in the second floor. this huge area comprises a night club on the ground floor, restaurant and live band at the second floor and an underground bar in the basement for different kinds of party people. located just beside the huge Sky Garden Legian 61 club, many people go here to have a drink and then party to the nearby Sky Garden Legian 61 club or to the Engine Room or to M Club or Bounty Discotheque. the crowd here is mixed, unlike in sky garden where most are caucasians.

Vi Ai Pi is a bar, club and restaurant located next to Sky Garden in Kuta, Bali. When it opened it brought a little modernity into Kuta's nightlife, then dominated by Paddy's, Bounty and MBargo. The design is stylish, especially on the first floor, and the sound system great. Unfortunately, it is probably not as popular as expected; if no special events are on, the first floor will probably remain empty, while the second one, with dance floor music (all the famous hits), has only a few wandering guests. To spice things up a little, they may have sexy bikini dancers on once in a while (usually Javanese girl, something foreign). For those used to party in Jakarta. it is very mild and harmless.

Vi Ai Pi is established at September 4th 2008 as Tapaz Bar. After 3 years it's concept was changed to Western and Italian Restaurant, with Vi Ai Pi Club and Lounge on the 2nd floor, also adding the Under Ground Bar, Located at the back of Vi Ai Pi. Vi Ai Pi opens every day from 11:00 am until 3:00 am. Located in Jalan Legian next to Bali Memorial, they provide big free parking space right behind their restaurant for all their customers. They serve Italian, Western and Indonesian cuisines, with price between 35K and 200K. The restaurant has capacity of 200 persons (sitting), while the club fits 400 400 persons (standing). Special package for private dining or parties is available.

hours: 11.00 am - 3.00 am everyday

Dress Code: very casual, you can come in beach attire and flip flops!

Kecak Dance of Uluwatu Temple: Bali

Roxuai : Kecak Dance of Uluwatu Temple: Bali

Here they have also added some fun/ comedy in the show by depicting Hanuman as monkey with monkey like behaviour. Here he mixes with the crowd, scratches his hair, body , mixes with the crowd and even attempts to clear the lice from their hair!! But in India, Hanuman is considered as God and worshiped in entire East & North India in Temples. No one makes fun of him as he is a highly revered God himself, who has been given the blessing of immortality ( Amaratwa) by his mother Anjani. He is son of God Pawan and is a bachelor. In among all school of wrestling in India Hanuman is worshiped as he is considered Mahaveera ( The most powerful).

Bangi KopiTiam : Kuta Bali

Roxuai : Bangi KopiTiam: Kuta Bali

Eventhough Indonesia is the world's second largest Coffee Producer of the world and has many native coffee houses, it still accepts international coffee chains and specially here in Bali and moreso at the Prime Tourist Area of Kuta and many international Coffee Brands compete for the slice of the huge coffee chain market of tourists and locals and one of them is the Malaysian Coffee Company called Bangi Kopitiam. Presently, they have several branches in Bali and we tried their branch at the Arrival area of the Ngurah Rai International Airport. Kopitiam started in Malaysia in the 1960's as a coffee place specializing in Coffee and local meals like Kaya Toasts, cendol, nasi lemak, Laksa, sandwiches and more and since the 1980's have branches around indonesia.

Jalan Legian Kuta Bali (Night View)

Roxuai : Jalan Legian Kuta Bali (Night View)

At Night, Jalan Legian Transforms into one large party place, which is concentrated in the vicinity of the Bali Memorial up to after a hundred meters from the entrance to Poppies Lane 2 and the various sounds of hip hop, trance and club music from many bars and clubs are ear splitting to say the least. the road will begin to get busy at 10pm, peaking in traffic around 1 or 2 in the morning before easing down again at 3:00 am as local Bali government imposed a deadline closing time of 3:00 am for all restaurants and bars and lounges and clubs in bali since 2011.

JL Pantai Kuta maybe the Beach Road but JL Legian, lying parallel to it, and is just a few hundred meters away from Kuta Beach, is the main street of Kuta and of the whole of Bali as this long street that starts from seminyak up to the intersection with JL Pantai Kuta, is the hotspot of the Party, Dining and Nightlife Activity of Kuta and Bali. During the day, this main street is busy with shoppers and tourists who will eat at the assorted restaurants and shops and beach shops like sufer girl that lies along the street. it has openings to the famous alleys of Kuta, Poppies Lane 1 and 2 and tons of souvenir shops and notorious "magic mushroom" hallucegenic drugs. haggling is the norm in this shopping area as prices are inflated for the tourists.

Luna Bonita Bar & Restaurant Bali

Roxuai : Luna Bonita Restaurant Bali

We first stopped here for a cold drink and a quick bite to eat for lunch. We enjoyed it so much that we were back again for dinner that same night. In fact we had a few meals here over the course of a week. A few araks were also drunk one night, didn't feel too good the next morning! Actually every night we were there we had to have one!! The boss, Yuda, is a real showman. He knows how to pull the customers in. All the staff are lovely, in particular Lodi. I received wonderful massages after my meal and I was still seated at the table!!
