Kawi Ubud

Three friends, Christian, Kong and Elaine, run Kawi, a 15-seat cocktail bar on the western side of Ubud. The room is minimal, and jars of spirits infusing with local produce line the back bar.

The drinks borrow familiar Indonesian flavours such as teh botol and daluman, the grass jelly. Kawi opens from Wednesday to Sunday at 7 PM, and every seat is walk-in, so arriving early is the only way to be sure of a place.
