Some of the Recommended Bar in Poppies Lane II Kuta
Categories :
Closer to the hotels and eateries and having a more laid back sort of
atmosphere, Poppies Lane II is where many of the younger crowd go to
start their night off before hitting the dancefloors at the clubs on
Jalan Legian. Gets busy from 9pm until midnight. There are also some
bars with sport theme, or bar in a sport center. The most popular
amongst them are:
Alleycats
Located at KPoppies II (80 meters west from Jalan Legian, behind twice bar). Opened from 10am until midnight. Alleycats considered as the busiest pre-club bar. Go here for their "Double Doubles".
Bagus Pub
Located Poppies II (20 meters west from Jalan Legian). Opened from 9am until midnight. Favourite drinking den of the dedicated Aussie all day drinker. Great place to watch the world go by.
The Steps
Located at Poppies II (50 meters west from Jalan Legian). Busy from 10pm to 1am. Not a bar as such, it's some steps in front of a mini market with a boom box for entertainment. A kuta institution favoured by the surf crowd that's often busier than a lot of the real bars.
Twice Bar
Located at Poppies II (80 meters west from Jalan Legian). Opened from 9am until late. A dark setting perfectly suited to the heavy metal bands that play here several times a week, popular with many of the local Kuta scene.
Piggys Bar
Located at Poppies II (80 meters west from Jalan Legian). This is a smaller version of Bagus Pub but with live bands and open 24 hours a day.
All Stars Surf Cafe
Located at Jalan Kartika Plaza 8X. If non-stop surf videos, huge jugs of icy beer, sumo wrestling and limbo dancing are your thing, then look no further.
Stadium Sports Cafe
Located at the complex Kuta Side Walk, Jalan Kartika Plaza. Open daily from 10am to 1am. Long established sports bar with two huge projection screens. Shows lots of EPL plus Australian and American sports.

Some of the recommended Bar in Kuta
Categories :
Night life in Bali starts late, which means around midnight. Many
visitors wonder where crowds of expats suddenly come from around 1am in
the morning – even when all of Kuta has been very quiet during the whole
evening, the places often become crowded after midnight.
Kuta is the low end party centre of Bali. It has recovered well from the bomb blasts in 2002 & 2005 and tourists still flock to the bars where alcohol is served freely and excessively. Many of the bars here have a house cocktail with a local Arak (rice spirit) base.
Jalan Legian between Poppies Gang I & II is the main party area and things tend to get going around midnight and go until 3 or 4am. There are also some slightly more sophisticated bar and lounge options along the waterfront on Jalan Pantai Kuta. Most are lounges that offer food and entertainment afterwards. Definitely an option to explore and not so overrun by the Australian party groups. The biggest venues are:
The Bounty
Located at Jalan Legian (100 meters south from Mbargo). Looks from the inside like a torn ship with several different areas including pool tables. The party starts everyday from 10pm but really gets going at midnight. Go here to get 'Blasters'. Rough and ready and it gets very messy.
Eikon
Located at Jalan Legian 178. Lounge bar which frequently has a decent cover band playing R&B fare.
The Engine Room
Located at Jalan Legian (opposite the Bounty). It is a small lounge bar and dance club. A little more sophisticated than some of the options on this street.
Mbargo
Jalan Legian (adjacent to the bomb memorial). Large air-conditioned bar on two floors. Models are on tap to serve you drinks. Hosts regular fashion shows. A favourite with teenage Australian party kids of both sexes. Security is especially tight here.
Vi Ai Pi
Located at Jalan Legian (opposite corner of Poppies II). Lounge style bar and restaurant with nice breezy open upper level.
Kama Sutra
Located at Jalan Pantai Kuta. This is a cavernous bar and club on the beachfront which is very popular with young Indonesians.

Several Ways to Go Into Kuta
Categories :
Kuta is the best known tourist resort area on the island of Bali in
Indonesia. So, it is easy to get into Kuta since there are many way to
go to this iconic tourism area of Bali.
By plane
Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known as Denpasar International Airport, is in fact directly south of Kuta, about 15 minutes away by taxi. The prepaid fare from the airport to Kuta is IDR 50,000. If you don't have too much luggage, you can save some money by walking 200 metres out of the airport area, and take a metred taxi from a company that does not pay service fees to the airport authority and is therefore not allowed to enter the airport to pick up customers. For example, a metered taxi from Bali Taksi (+62 361 701111) will run to about IDR 20,000 for the same trip. Before putting yourself through all that though you might wish to ask yourself whether it is worth it to save just $3. You can also catch a bemo from outside the airport to Kuta for IDR 5,000 to 10,000.
By car
Kuta is reached by the main Jalan Ngurah Rai bypass from points north (Denpasar, Sanur and Ubud), and south (Jimbaran, Nusa Dua and Uluwatu). If you are coming in from Seminyak be sure to take the Jalan Sunset bypass and not the congested beach route along Jalan Raya Seminyak and Jalan Legian.
By bus
Kuta is connected by bus routes from all areas of Bali. There are various scheduled shuttle services including Perama. Perama shuttle buses to Kuta leave from Sanur, Ubud, Candidasa, Padang Bai and Lovina.
By bemo
As elsewhere in Bali, bemos are rarer and far less important in Kuta than they used to be. This reflects both the increased number of Balinese who are wealthy enough to afford their own transport, and the huge upscaling of the very nature of tourism in Bali in the past 10 years. Bemo Corner, in the heart of Kuta at the junction of Jalan Legian and Jalan Raya Kuta, used to be an institution on the backpacker circuit. These days it is almost irrelevant, but the little blue buses are still there albeit in greatly reduced numbers, and they will still try to charge you five times the real rate. Kuta is served with some regularity from Denpasar's Tegal bemo terminal.
By boat
Benoa Harbor (not to be confused with Tanjung Benoa) is around 20 min northeast of Kuta, and speedboats and cruises from the Gili Islands, Lombok and Nusa Lembongan arrive here. Most companies operating from Benoa offer free pick-up and drop-off in and around Kuta.

Hard Rock Hotel

Yoga and Meditation Place In Kuta
Categories :
In the midst of our modern world characterized by daily stress,
fatigue, and pollution, more and more people are seeking that elusive
sense of relaxation and inward awareness. Yoga has provided people with a
refuge away from the everyday confusion and entropy, and has
transported an increasing number of people to a peaceful oasis within.
You may find the best place to do some exercise of yoga and meditation
in Kuta such as:
Anand Krishna Center
It is the center for holistic health and meditation in Kuta. Anand Krishna Center offers several courses in yoga and meditation like Stress Management class and Neo Kundalini Yoga class. Equipped with spacious meditation hall, full air conditioning and experience facilitators. Anand Krishna Center is located on Jalan Pura Mertasari 27, Sunset Road area, Kuta.
Secret Garden of The Divine Mother
Perhaps the smallest public garden in the world. Dedicated to the Mothers of the Universe, the ‘Secret Garden’ has a considerably heavy mission, in example: to Heal Mother Earth and Her Children. The Secret Garden is expected to help us access our Secret Selves, the Sacred within each of us. Humankind and the Universe are interconnected and in essence they are all one. The Secret Garden firmly believed that global warming caused by climate change and other threats presently faced by humanity must only be responded compassionately. A visit to this Garden is not a casual visit. It is a cleansing and beautifying experience for the Soul. The Garden open all day, but prior appointment is recommended. The spiritual Garden is the implementation of meditation in daily life. For meditation and spirituality are not mere sitting down in silence, reading the Scriptures and doing rituals. On the contrary, meditation and spirituality should be put into effect by actions, among others via the NIM (on the issues of nationality) and the Global Cooperative (issues of prosperity), for a better world and an enlightened society. Secret Garden of The Divine Mother is located on Jalan Pura Mertasari 45, Sunset Road area, Kuta, Bali.
