The Complete Party and Clubbing Guide to Canggu
A quick guide on where to go on any particular night in the Canggu area
First, every sunset most of the Canggu community heads to the beach to chill out for the last hour of the day. There are a whole bunch of choices, which you can find on this link, but what we are talking about on this page is the after-dark nightlife of Canggu. Read on friends.
After Covid things in Canggu have changed a lot in some ways, but haven’t changed much at all in others. Old Man’s was gone for a while, but is now back with a new look, just opening again in August, and a lot more has come and gone too.
When it comes to parties, you are still going to find something going on every night of the week. Disguised as a large pizza joint (the pizza is incredible btw), Luigi’s Hot Pizza kicks off the start of the week with the PNNY crew every monday night from 8 – 12pm playing eclectic house beats to jackin’ techno. If you are up for a late-night boogie, head down to the beach end of Batu Bolong any night of the week, where Sandbar is crowded pumping the hip hop commercial sounds from around midnight. Desk x Designer used to be down that way but are now in the Echo Beach area and open till very late (now Thurs to Sunday). And new bars on the block, Miss Fish is pretty much busy every night with DJs and the fashionable Canggu crowd in attendance.
Tuesdays are quite laid-back with the main action happening at Shady Pig with their Disco Biscuit night from about 10pm, or down the road at Miss Fish.
Wednesdays are one of the biggest nights of the week. With mounds of people all over the streets. Wednesday is the biggest night at Old Man’s, get down there for the beer pong comp. Loads of fun, loads of people. backyards can also pull a crowd, across the road from the Tugu Hotel. Mason Backroom, is where the more sophisticated crowd head for groovy house tunes from 9pm – 3am. Later at night you can end up at Sandbar where commercial music goes on until about 4 – 5am or Designer desk till late for underground sounds.
By the time your hangover from Wednesday is over, it’ll be Thursday night and the gnarliest spot on a Thursday is pretty Poisons. Think backyard skate bowl meets European dungeon nightclub. Tattoos, skate bowl action and live DJs playing everything from rock & roll, hip hop to techno. Walk over to Black Cat Mini Market next door and check out their fridge in the corner for a cheeky surprise. Designer desk till late.
If you’re looking for a dope Friday night party, there are several options! Black Sands is always busy on Friday evenings with special price brews. The Lawn Friday nights go from 9pm till 1am with half price on selected drinks and a range of disco, house, RnB and hip-hop tunes. God lights up the night with live stand-up comedy every Friday evening. Morabito Art Villa in Berawa has a regular Friday evening party with big name, mainly underground, DJs. vault is a safe bet on a Friday later, always supplying great house/techno music. The crowd can also be found at The Shady Pig, Miss Fish or Mason Backroom sipping cocktails and moving to the beat’s from 10pm till late. Real Techno can be heard and absorbed at Designer desk until 5am. And as usual, Sandbar picks up the late-night party people to end another wild night on the beach in Canggu.
Saturdays nights usually depend on whether there are any headliners at the clubs. One of the biggest parties on the island are La Brisa‘s Basement Love x PNNY or Escape events, bringing some of the most renown house & techno acts to the beach club on a bi-weekly schedule (sometimes longer), and other visiting performers. The Shady Pig, Miss Fish and Mason Backroom are all good bets and usually pull crowds on a Saturday from 10pm till late. Regular events include Vault’s hip hop nights with the PNNY crew, and Designer desk with their hard techno.
Sunday’s are actually a lot of fun. God are the pioneers of Sunday nights in Canggu. They boast beer on tap, a large crowd of expats, tourists and locals with live music action. Deus also hosts Tuesday nights with free tattoos and tacos. Something different is the drag queens Bingo Sunday night at Fat Mermaids. Or Mason Backroom opens from 7pm. Later you can head to the beach at Sandbar till you drop.
That wraps up our tour through Canggu, remember to stay safe, wear a helmet and don’t drive if you’re drunk. Have fun out there!
Uluwatu Turns on the Nightlife
Uluwatu has become one of the major areas of Bali to holiday and live over the past few years. It has come alive with people from all parts of the planet, mainly surfers first, but now also people from all walks of life. There are contributing factors for this migration to the south, including beautiful white sand beaches, not so much rainfall, less traffic issues getting around, and nowadays, a plethora of new dining and entertainment options busy most days and nights of the week. Young people are turning their backs on places like Canggu or Seminyak and moving to the Bukit, and really, I can see why, the place has a lot going for it.
We asked rising star DJ Papū, who happens to be playing and living most weekends nowadays in the Uluwatu area, what he thought the best run-down would be to get among the good times on the weekend in that south west corner of Bali.
“Thursdays are all about cashew tree. They normally have great live music and the place is pumping.
Fridays. You can’t beat Tabu restaurant and bar, they have DJs (me included) and it’s busy. Ulu Cliffhouse always has a crowd and weekly house DJ nights till late. Half price selected drinks too. Recently opened Baracca has a bar/club vibe on Friday nights as well till late. Savaya day club on the south coast has hip hop or special events on Fridays.
Saturdays. Savaya is normally rammed with big international guest DJs (hip hop & electronic music). Get there about 5pm. Tabu has DJs and classy electronic music most Saturdays. There is a special event on the deck at Ulu Cliff most Saturdays, or if there is a big international act the main stage will be set up next to the pool.
Sundays. Single Fin is an institution in front of the Uluwatu surf break and has live music and DJs most nights of the week, but Sunday is when it really grinds. (Commercial house music). Savaya gets tribal with Southern Tribe (Afro house vibe) & international headliners.”
There are also a number of great dining options in the Uluwatu area too. What do you think are the better options Papū? “Ours, Rolling Fork (Italian), Suka (brunch & dinner), Tabu (dinner), newly opened Mason, Ulu Cliff, Lucky Fish (local fish BBQ on Bingin Beach), Yeye’s (best Nasi Campur), El Kabron (Spanish ).”
Hey Papū bro, thank you for your time and the words of local knowledge.
You can catch Papū playing his tunes in Tabu, Ulu Cliffhouse and Savaya, among other hot spots on the Bukit and down town, too.
Get in Uluwatu, folks. You’re sure to have a great time.
Bali New Settlers – What’s Next?
The traffic is next level nowadays.
I reside on the north side of The Great Wall of Canggu. This means every day by 2pm the only way in and out of Canggu, or at least Berawa, are congesting more than a wet market attendant’s nose in Beijing, no way in or out. If you are in a car forget it. Abandon ship ASAP. You’re better off walking except you are likely to be hit by some crazed motorbike rider most probably high on something trying to escape the reality of the new Bali traffic. Some days it’s not so bad—you can fly through the wall without even stopping, but they are few and you have to give thanks for such moments.
During Covid it was different. I used to pop the dogs in the back of the old Kijang and trundle off to Double Six Beach without a care and the wind in my hair. It would take 15 to 20 minutes from Berawa, unless there was a hold up in front of Monsieur Spoon or somewhere with some random uber-large Jakarta plated Alpha trying to park. That could hold you back enough time to go in and buy a croissant. The beach was like some deserted island without a person, umbrella or day bed in sight. Just the sound of the cracking waves as they broke on the pristine white sand.
Fast forward to now. It does make you wonder where all the traffic comes from nowadays. I read that international tourist numbers are running at about 40% of pre-covid numbers. The Chinese aren’t even back. Obviously, there are many local domestic tourists continually arriving (with their cars), but there are no concrete figures on that hand. Possibly there is another answer for this traffic/jam phenomenon and that could be that half the people arriving here aren’t going home again. Are they coming here with one-way tickets and setting up shop? It makes you wonder.
All that time to think about life, or the lack of it, during lockdown in some god-forsaken part of the world looking at pretty pictures of this tropical island on Instagram may have done it. “That’s it, I’m outta here!” is heard as a collective rush or stampede for the gate at airports around the world heralded the beginning of the re-opening of the world – and an opportunity to get away once and for good. The central government has also made it easier for prospective new settlers too with a new 10 year second home visa proposed to open the flood gates even wider come the New Year.
But as another restaurant, bar, store or beach club opens one can only wonder, first, who is going to staff these new fashionable places that are literally opening every week because there aren’t any staff left on the island, and then, who is going to visit them. It’s hard to say. Maybe the new settlers will feed each other’s new venues to keep them alive. But the reality is probably most of them will be gone in the next couple of moons and only the strongest will survive – as usual.
Or maybe not, maybe it all just gets bigger and bigger with more people arriving every day to feed all these new businesses. But then that brings us back to the traffic and lack of new roads to cater to more vehicles and people. #rollyoureyes
These are interesting times on the island and it will be very interesting to see what will happen over the next year. For good or bad, there is no stopping it. Suggestions. Doing your moving around town early in the day, or late at night is a good way forward.

Bali Nightlife in December? No problem.
Bali nightlife never ceases to amaze. Last weekend we had Above and Beyond and Anjunadeep (Savaya), Nina Kraviz (Kudeta. pictured above) and Franky Rizardo (W Bali). This weekend, we have the biggest festival of the year, Burning Beach Festival being held in Nusa Dua, with dozens of DJs including big names Dubfire, Danny Tenaglia, Monkey Safari, Darius Syrossian, Anja Schneider and a load more internationals and locals taking to the decks at Canna Beach Club. There’s a whole bunch of other shows going around the other venues too like Ulu Cliffhouse – The Jungle Giants, W Bali – Andhim and Coiz, Alesso at Savaya, and there’s Hatch in Uluwatu re-opening this week and holding the Odyssey Festival, with a bunch of cool DJs in attendance on Saturday. You would think it was high season in the middle of August.
But hey, isn’t it the middle of December? The time of year when no one is around and the place is gearing up for the Christmas/New Year invasion. And let’s not talk about the weather – the stifling heat during the day particularly. Well, it would appear all that doesn’t matter. It now seems that all the old rules don’t count, we are now on a whole new, post-covid playing field where anything goes.
As they say fortune favors the brave and hats off to them, the organizers. We the punters are the beneficiaries of all these organizational events, could we say, online. Yes, we could say it is rather bold. And to finish off this marvelous weekend we have the World Cup Final at 11pm Sunday night. You couldn’t script it any better.
This is the new Bali, folks, where anything goes at any time.
Enjoy it and make sure you get out there and support these events as much as you can.
You may even have a great time doing it.
