Bali Boozy Kitchen and Bar

Roadside hangout between Seminyak and Canggu

Right on Jl. Batu Belig No.81 in Kerobokan Kelod, Bali Boozy Kitchen and Bar sits on the roadside, pulling in a mix of young Indonesian locals and holidaymakers. Several visitors mention wandering in from nearby Kashantee Village or while walking between Seminyak and Canggu and ending up staying far longer than planned.

By day, it feels like a chilled café; by night, it turns into a full-on local bar with DJ sets, live music and bottles of Arak on the tables.

Breakfast, brunch and all‑day bites

Mornings get a lot of love here. Reviews praise the coffee and iced cappuccino, eggs Benedict, smashed avocado on toast, pancakes, smoothie bowls and fruit smoothies, often described as “amazing” and “fast served”. Prices are often called reasonable or very cheap for what you get.

Across the rest of the day, people call out burgers (beef, southern chicken, bacon burger), steaks with potatoes and veg, fish tacos, nachos, carbonara, ayam bakar, crispy mushrooms, grilled chicken with mushroom sauce, Mie Goreng and pork belly bao buns. A few guests found certain dishes average or a plain sautéed vegetable side, but most feedback leans strongly positive.

Arak, cocktails and local drinks culture

Bali Boozy is known for its Arak – a traditional Balinese liquor – served in bottles or shots, with flavors like apple and watermelon and prices around 70k for 1 bottle according to one reviewer. Visitors mention signature cocktails like the pandan colada and “manusia pulau”, plus icy Bintang, seltzers and iced tea.

Staff sometimes explain the differences between cocktails made with local Balinese alcohol and even offer tastings before you decide. Most guests describe the bar team as warm, thorough and attentive, though there are a few reports of slow cocktails and one mention of a favorite drink that didn’t quite land.

Music, crowds and atmosphere shifts

Atmosphere depends heavily on the hour. Lunchtime is often described as relaxed and laidback, with cool music at a comfortable level and a cosy feel even without a/c indoors. At night it can be packed and loud, with DJs from about 9:30 pm, live local music, and a dancey pre‑club vibe right on the street.

Some guests love the high‑energy crowd, street‑cred mix of locals and travelers, and the chance to people‑watch traffic from street‑facing seats. Others mention that music can be too loud, repetitive, or switch into koplo that feels “unsuitable” for them, and that shouting crowds on recent visits have made the space less relaxing.

Service highs and lows

Service stories are mixed but vivid. Many visitors rave about super‑friendly staff who remember regulars, explain menus, and even go out to buy mosquito cream for a guest. People commend the speed of breakfast service and appreciate having both indoor (no a/c) and outdoor seating.

Negative experiences do crop up: a few guests complain of slow acknowledgment on arrival, inattentive staff chatting and using phones, or confusion over wait times when the venue is full. One detailed review recounts a serious incident involving another customer, table management and offensive remarks, leaving that guest feeling let down despite good food.

Comfort, smoking and practical details

This is an open, smoking‑friendly venue; several diners say smoke drifts through all areas and non‑smokers may struggle to find a clear corner. Seating divides opinion too: one regular finds the chairs and benches uncomfortable enough to feel pushed to leave, while others call it cosy and comfortable after sunset, even if a bit dark.

Parking isn’t on‑site, but reviewers note valet help if you come by car. There are indoor and outdoor tables, and the place stays open later than many nearby spots, making it a go‑to for late drinks and people‑watching.

Who will like Bali Boozy

Bali Boozy Kitchen and Bar suits travellers and locals who enjoy lively, smoky, music‑driven bars with affordable Arak, solid comfort food and a mostly young crowd; if you’re sensitive to noise, smoke or inconsistent service, this stretch of Batu Belig might be better as a quick breakfast stop than a late‑night base.
