Warung Wayan’s: Magic Mushrooms

by balisunshine

In a country where,narcotics carry a hefty penalty,Magic Mushrooms are legal.Hmmm….???I guess they can’t stop the cows from pooing and the rain from falling,and well, Mother Nature doing her stuff, like creating Magic Mushrooms.In Bali, there is a location where you will find its knowledgeable owner,selling these psychedelic shroomspacked in small bags ready to consume.One bag provides a mild dose for one person.Take two if you are a pro at the stuff.But don’t over do it,or you may never come back!Also, if you do have a bad trip,try consuming warm milk with sugar.It’s important that you do this journey amongst friends that you are comfortable with.A natural setting where you can lay back and relax is best.There are different ways to prepare them such as,in an egg omelet, mixed with juice,or in a tea form, or just eat them raw.Prices per bag go according to season,since they grow only...

Up in the Sky Garden

by balisunshine

Kuta, after a few years of silence,is getting it’s swing back,to not only it’s past reputation of Kuta Cowboys,teenage party animals, cheap accommodations, etc.but it’s also breeding newer places such asSky Bar which is also known as ESC.This bar has a bird’s eyes view of all the action happening below on the main road,and also offers some of the best house music in town.Because of their 24 hour deli operation downstairsthey also offer food service up to the wee hours of the night.Don’t like the smoke from bar smokers?This isn’t a problem here,since the bar itself is under the open sky,and can become a covered venue with the touch of the button of their retractable roof top.Once the music kicks in,people wonder off to what is their dance floor.This venue has become not only become popular amongst the Kuta visitors,but also amongst the ex-pat community in Bali.Plenty of cute surfer boys,...

Wine and Dine at Sentosa

by balisunshine

A brand new location that has opened in the Kerobokan area isBlossom Restaurant & Lounge Bar at Sentosa.This complex has villas and a very slick bar and restaurant.When you walk in,there is a Bali and non-Bali feel to it.With plush sofas,a swimming pool,gym, an amazing upstairs deckand plenty of food to eat.This is becoming a popular venue for events,and a place to eat and/or have a drink.It’s an older crowd with a twist of youth.

Paddies bar: So many choices

by austarman

This photo was taken of me and a friend in the old Paddies bar that was blown up by a bomber in October 2002.However they have rebuilt it just down the road next to another popular club called the Bounty.Both places usually get busy but not until midnight usually,mostly they are filled with Aussies and are quite loud.For more of an laid back and upmarket type of club with more of a mix of different types of people you may want to get out to the Seminyak strip.Maybe try the Sante fe club for a good band or 66 club for a good dance club. Very very casual because it's just to hot.

Sri Ratu hotel: Balinese dancing

by austarman

One of the staff from our Legian hotel (the Sri Ratu) has a family of three girls that are very good at the Balinese dancing.In fact the oldest one has won awards in Ubud and the other younger two are very good also.So one night after reading about them in a brochure we decided to hire them to come and entertain us in our hotel while we had dinner.They were excellent too and I would not hesitate to get them in again.They brought some friends too so there were seven of them dancing for us that night and thier dancing instructor was there too with Wayan the Mother watching on.A fantastic night. For us the guests it was very casual, but the dancers all went to a lot of trouble to look very beautiful.

All Over Bali: Thirsty for a Beer? Bali Has Its Own!

by Ubudian

Yes! A micro brewery in Bali! We have our own, and the beers are awesome, as are most micro brewed beers. It is called Storm Beer, and anyone who is serious about their beer will truly love this fantastic brew. Currently there are four regularly available beers, but on occasion, and of limited availability, special brews are concocted for the beer connoisseur’s pleasure. Storm beers are not available all over Bali as is Bintang, but it is surely worth the extra effort to find it. More information can be found at these two web sites:http://www.balidiscovery.com/messages/printmessage.asp?Id=2624http://www.stormbrewing.net/

Fuel Nightclub: Refuel At Fuel!!!

by hayley_69

FUEL FOR LIFE! Long overdue in the heart of the Kuta, Fuel will sustain you until the early hours of tomorrow. It's an oasis. Refuel at Fuel. Order cocktails from the downstairs or upstairs bar, chill in our comfy sofas and on the patio, or groove to the DJ sounds on the dance floor. Every night of the week, you'll feel your body beginning to sway and groove with the beat as midnight approaches.Our finely honed sound system carries the crisp sounds of DJ's lining up to put FUEL on their itineraries. Special party events are posted in Bali's publications.

Sanur Nightlife: Nightlife begin after dark

by hayley_69

Some quite popular places in Sanur are the BORNEO PUB on Jalan Danau Tamblingan and the TROPHY PUB in front of the Sanur Beach Hotel. Both, however, close around 1:00 a.m.The JAZZ GRILLE, located at the Komplek Pertokoan Sanur Raya No. 15/16 at the By-Pass opposite the Radisson hotel attracts tourists and locals alike with live bands (from 9:30 to 12:00 p.m.), a smallish menu, and a billiard table upstairs. KAFE WAYANG in the same building has life music with a good local band and jam sessions with foreign guests every Friday – no wonder it's very popular with many residents. JANGER is currently the only disco in Sanur. Most tourists and even the expats living in Sanur prefer to go to "Kuta" if they look for some fun. Mostly all nightclubs here in Sanur have not specific dress code just as long as its comfortable clothing.
