Kuta Beach Nightlife - What to do at night

Nightlife

The nightlife scene in Kuta usually starts late – around 23:00 to midnight with bars and pubs offering different atmospheres and types of entertainment. Some clubs and bars showcase live bands, DJs, sexy dancers and ‘fashion shows’. Price wise, compared to the nightlife places in Seminyak, partying the night away in Kuta is way cheaper.

Every two months Hard Rock invites a well-known Indonesian singer or band to play live. Hard Rock Café serves up burgers, fries and colas in large portions.
