Ubud is emphatically not party town: there are a few places for a quiet drink, but the strictly enforced local regulation that all live performances and loud music must end by 10:30PM puts a bit of a clamp on the local nightlife. More often than not, visitors have a quiet drink with their evening meal, and call it a night.
Ary's Warung, Jl Raya Ubud 35 (opposite Puri Saraswati), ☎ +62 361 975959, . 10:30AM-10PM daily. Don't be fooled by the name, this is a stylish watering hole with a large bar downstairs, complete with sofas and cow-leather bar stools, and a rather less busy restaurant upstairs. Drinks are expensive but generously sized. �
Flava Lounge, Jl Pengosekan, ☎ +62 361 972953, . 11AM-midnight daily. A slightly curious cafe/bar, which has regular open mike nights, occasional karaoke bashes, and even hip-hop and R&B DJs. Sometimes it goes off a bit (at least by Ubud standards), and at others is deserted. Also throws occasional events supporting various causes. �
Jazz Cafe, Jl Sukma No 2, Tebesaya, ☎ +62 361 976594, . Tu-Su 5PM-midnight. Jazz bar with live bands nightly, which are sometimes local cover bands, not jazz. A limited food menu and a good selection of drinks.Cover charge Rp 25,000, drinks Rp 50,000 and up, Rp 85,000+ for a cocktail. �

Rendezvousdoux, Jl Raya Ubud 14, ☎ +62 361 7470163. 10AM-11PM daily. On Thursday evenings there is often a jam session with local expat musos trying their hand at various forms of ethnic music. Otherwise it is a generally quiet cafe. �
