01Sol Rooftop Bali
Sol Rooftop Bali is a rooftop bar looking out to sea from above Pererenan Beach, with its own ocean-view pool and daybeds to book. Sunset is the draw: golden-hour DJ sets and resident house sets play as the light fades, and the bar team mixes a sharp signature list. Order the Smoked Negroni (gin, sweet vermouth and Campari under applewood smoke), the Señorita (jalapeño-infused tequila, agave, triple sec and lemon) or the Sundown (corn-infused bourbon, jasmine, bianco vermouth and orange bitters).
Breakfast is served every day, too. Couples and friends come for a sunset drink with an ocean view; groups should book ahead for the best seats.

02Bar Vera
Bar Vera is a European bistro and wine bar inside Further Hotel, a diffused boutique hotel in Pererenan. The 65-seat room takes its cue from Europe's new wave of wine bars and bistros, and the cocktails are mixed in full view at the bar. The drinks run from aperitivo to digestivo: try the Tulsi (gin, Tio Pepe sherry, Tie Guan Yin tea, basil, lime and egg white), the Rome in Red (vermouth, Campari, rhubarb cordial, lime and sparkling wine) or the New Dirty Martini with wagyu fat-washed gin, sherry and smoked bamboo.
The wine list is mostly European, with a skin-contact pour by the glass. Walk-ins are welcome, and a long dinner here easily turns into drinks.

08Fuglen Bali
Fuglen Bali is the Bali branch of Fuglen, the Oslo coffee bar that dates to 1963 and now pairs coffee with cocktails. It opened in Pererenan in March 2026 as the brand's second Indonesian address after Jakarta. It is about ten minutes from the beach, with rice fields nearby. It serves light-roast coffee in the mornings and switches to classic and signature cocktails in the evening.
