About this place

About The Lair

The Lair is a cocktail bar under Campuhan Bridge in Ubud. Come for a proper drink after dinner, not a full meal. We've been. You get there by heading down a stone stairway to a dim, plant-filled room and a deck hanging over the Wos River ravine.

Cocktails are the focus. The current list, called Provenance, is a set of signature cocktails by bartender Dimas Mahendra built around regional ingredients: purple yam with aged rum, galangal and turmeric with white rum, snake fruit tequila with chilli. Most are IDR 180,000 to 220,000, plus 15.5% tax and service. Classics are made on request, and there are a few alcohol-free options such as a house rice horchata.

Food is small plates for sharing: patatas bravas, tuna tartare, duck pancakes, foie gras sliders and a taster plate if you can't choose. Don't plan on a main course here.

On Saturdays a DJ plays from 10pm. The catch is access: it's stairs down from the road and stairs back up, so it isn't step-free.

Our personal tips
  • Evenings only. It opens at 6pm. Chope lists closing as midnight, though some guides say 11pm.
  • Book on Chope. The Make a Booking link on The Lair's Linktree goes there; groups and private events go through WhatsApp +62 812 3078 0186.
  • Saturday DJ. Sets start at 10pm, so come earlier if you want to talk.
  • Dinner first. Arcadia, which shares the same booking number, is right by the bridge for a full meal before drinks. More in our Ubud guide.
