Drop in during the day or for dinner just to check out the steam-punk decor. The party crowd kicks in around 10pm, and by 11pm it can turn into a seething mass of holidaymakers letting their hair down. If you want to bump and grind, this is the place. Drinks can be hard to get when things get busy, so go for the music and dancing.

Sightseeing
Tegenungan Waterfall is one of the few not located in the highlands, and being only 34kms from Seminyak and 12 km's south-east of Ubud it's one of the closest to the main tourist areas. It's about a 5-minute hike down to the base of the waterfall, but it's definitely worth the effort for the opportunity to swim in the pool below the falls. Make sure to wear sensible shoes, as the part of the walk is quite rocky and can be slippery.

Located 10kms from Ubud and 40kms from Seminyak, the Tegalalang Rice Terraces are a must-see attraction in Bali. Lining the main road in the small village of Tegalalang are numerous hillside cafes where you can relax and take photos. If you're feeling physically fit and adventurous you can descend the steep incline and walk up through the valley to the other side, taking several well-trodden paths around the terraces. The effort is rewarded by incredible views back across the valley to the village, as well as an up-close look at the rice fields themselves. Check out The Bali Experience Company for tour details.
