Ambar Ubud Bar

Ambar is Sanskrit for sky, and the bar sits raised beside the Wantilan lobby at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, with an outdoor deck that looks over the resort's forest.

Head mixologist Adi San bases his signature series on the Taru Pramana, the Balinese manuscript of medicinal plants. Some cocktails are coconut-aged and finished at the table, and the vermouth is made in-house. Live jazz starts at 6:30 PM every night, and a Japanese-fusion menu matches the drinks.
