ENTERTAINMENT IN UBUD
Ubud is not renowned as a hot place for the wilder kind of nightlife. Try Kuta or Seminyak for that.
The community treasures its traditional atmos-phere, and a civilized and safe atmosphere on the streets. Consequently, there are no discos or full-fledged night clubs. There's plenty of acoustic music, though.
Dynamic conversation is the number one form of entertainment, so don't be shy. Join in. Try one of the following spots, or cruise them all to see where you find a crown that suits your mood. Bebek Bengil Jalan Hanoman, Padang Tegal.

This long-time favourite restaurant in Jalan Hanoman, Padang Tegal (South Ubud), is open pretty late, and there's regular crowd of locals and their friends who "hold court" here. Some even sleep there and get their mail there. It's a key centre for the latest news and gossip, especially late at night in the back. The food is very good, drink prices are fair, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.
The ownership and management team consists of Agung Raka, Mande and Ngurah, three extremely personable Balinese gentlemen who speak excellent English. You'll find them and their friends (local and foreign) excellent sources of information on the going-on in Ubud.
The restaurant has its own football team made up of assorted friends and regulars. "Bebek United" plays locally, just for fun, and after the game the atmosphere at the restaurant (win or lose), is particularly lively. Solo and duet bamboo gamelan music in the afternoon and evenings, featuring Dewa, a well-known local gamelan teacher, who will give you private lessons at Bebek if you ask him. Café Tutmak Jalan Dewi Sita. A hip café, created by Ketut and his wife, who hails from Berkeley , California . The best coffee in the known universe. A key hangout for creative expats and locals.
Live acoustic music several nights a month (frequently unannounced), often featuring Ketut Yuliars, the owner of Ganesha Bookshop, who plays mandolin and sitar, joined by talented locals on flute, guitar, drums and other instruments.
Distinguished musicians visiting Ubud are encouraged to collaborate with "Yuli" and his friends. We have seen extraordinary violinists from Europe and Japan , Flamenco guitarists, harpists and even didgeridoo players here.
If there's no live music, the conversation, coffee, backgammon, scrabble, drinks and desserts are more than enough to keep you happy here for hours. The evening chef, Guskok, is a charming fellow. With just a little coaxing he will share with you his extensive knowledge of cultural traditions and the pace of change in the Ubud area. Open until about 11 or 11:30 . Ary's Warung Jalan Raya. A Chic, but relaxed restaurant and bar with excellent recorded music and highly aesthetic surroundings. Late dining until about midnight .
Drinking until 1. An excellent place for an intimate little dinner, or a group party upstairs. You will see the most glamourous Ubudians here in full regalia, but the atmosphere is not snobbish, and you needn't get dressed up to feel comfortable. Beggard's Bush Campuhan.
