Sanur has a charm that is hard to find elsewhere in Bali. 

While the southern parts of the island like Seminyak or Canggu are famous for their high-octane beach clubs and pulsing electronic beats, Sanur offers something more soulful, grounded, and timeless. 

It is the kind of place where you can spend your day cycling along the boardwalk and your night lost in the rhythm of a talented local band.

Places to Enjoy Live Music in Sanur, Bali

Before we dive into our list, it is important to note that these venues are not ranked in any particular order. 

Each offers a unique vibe, and the "best" one simply depends on what kind of night you are looking for.

1. Casablanca Sanur

• Address: Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.120, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar, Bali 80223

• Operational Hours: Monday 18.00 - 01.00 | Tuesday - Saturday 17.00 - 01.00

If there is one name synonymous with live music in Sanur, it’s Casablanca. 

Located on the main strip of Jalan Danau Tamblingan, this venue is "unapologetically loud" and proud of it. 

While Sanur usually gets quiet after dinner, Casablanca is just getting started.

The schedule here is relentless, live bands perform six nights a week (Monday to Saturday), usually kicking off at 9:00 PM. 

The genre varies by night, ranging from the indie rock hits of The Love Band on Mondays to the power rock of The Rockin' Dawn on Saturdays. 

It’s a place where the dance floor is always packed, and the vibe is casual; shorts and sandals are the standard uniform here.

2. Linga Longa

• Address: Jl. Cemara, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar, Bali

• Operational Hours: 14.00 - 03.00

For those who prefer an "old-school Bali" feel, Linga Longa is a staple of the local nightlife. 

It’s less polished than some of the newer spots, but that’s exactly why people love it. It’s unpretentious, social, and very rowdy.

Following a renovation in 2023, the energy here has only gone up. 

You can catch bands like Harimo or Flashrock playing classic rock and pop hits every night from 8:30 PM. 

A unique highlight? Their "Late Night Rock" acoustic sessions run from midnight until 2:00 AM for the true night owls. 

If you’re there on a Sunday, don't miss their famous Babi Guling (suckling pig) roast.

3. Arena Pub & Restaurant

• Address: Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai No.115, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar, Bali 80228

• Operational Hours: 12.00 - 23.30

Arena is a Sanur landmark that has been around since 2000. It feels like a mix between an American steakhouse and a European pub. 

This is the place to go if you want a more refined experience—think high-quality steaks paired with sophisticated classic rock, blues, or jazz.

Friday nights are the big draw at Arena, with local bands taking the stage from 10:00 PM onwards. 

On Wednesdays, they host a popular English-language Trivia Night. 

It’s a bit more mature than Casablanca, making it a favorite for expats and tourists who want a great meal with their live music in Sanur.

4. Kaluma Casual Dining & Bar

• Address: Hotel Tamukami, Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.64, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar, Bali 80228

• Operational Hours: 08.00 - 23.00

If you’re looking for a romantic or family-friendly evening, Kaluma is a fantastic choice. 

It offers a much more intimate atmosphere, focusing on acoustic duos and jazz performers. 

The music here is kept at a volume that allows for comfortable conversation, which is a breath of fresh air if you've been spending your nights in the louder pubs.

The outdoor courtyard is aesthetically pleasing and "tropical cozy." 

Throughout December 2025, they are even hosting special "Christmas Jazz" sets. 

It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a Crispy Pork Belly while listening to smooth melodies.

• Address: Jl.Kusuma Sari. 3A, Jl. Setapak No.Br, Semawang, Sanur, Kota Denpasar, Bali 80228

• Operational Hours: 07.00 - 23.00

There is something magical about listening to a band while your toes are in the sand. 

Tapha Sanur, located at the southern end of the beach, offers exactly that. It’s a "dine on the sand" experience with lights hanging from the trees and a cool sea breeze.

They have a dedicated "The Beatles Night" every Tuesday with The Penny Lane band, which is a massive hit with the crowd. 

Fridays are for classic rock, and the weekends feature various live sets starting around 7:00 PM. It’s a laid-back, candlelit setting that captures the true essence of the Sanur spirit.

• Address: Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.89M, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar, Bali 80228

• Operational Hours: 07.00 - 22.00

Located at the entrance of the Maya Sanur Resort, Rue Bali (or RUE) is the trendier, more contemporary cousin of the traditional rock pubs. 

It’s a stylish "street-side hangout" that attracts a style-savvy crowd.

The music here is high-quality and energetic, often leaning towards a modern vibe that fits its global "street food" menu. 

It’s also very family-friendly, featuring a dedicated kids’ corner, so you can enjoy your cocktail and the band while the little ones are entertained.

7. Beach Club Restaurant

• Address: Beach Resort and Spa, Puri Santrian Jl. Cemara No.35, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar, Bali 80228

• Operational Hours: 06.30 - 23.00

For a more upscale, beachfront experience, the Beach Club at Puri Santrian is hard to beat.

Positioned between two swimming pools with views of the Indian Ocean, the music here transitions beautifully from sunset relaxation to evening dining.

You can catch a live saxophonist on Tuesdays or acoustic sets from Thursday to Saturday. On Sundays, the energy picks up with a full live band. 

It’s a sophisticated spot, often featuring Balinese cultural performances alongside the modern music schedule.

8. Piano Lounge - Hyatt Regency Bali

• Address: Hyatt Regency Bali, Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.89, Sanur, Bali, Denpasar City, Bali 80228

• Operational Hours: 11.00 - 23.00

Sometimes, you just want to sit back in a plush chair with a glass of wine and listen to a grand piano. 

The Piano Lounge at the Hyatt Regency offers the most tranquil live music in Sanur.

A live pianist performs every night except Sunday, with sets in the early evening (5:00 PM) and late evening (9:00 PM). 

The architecture is traditionally Balinese, open-air, and overlooks beautifully manicured gardens.

It is the ultimate spot to unwind and enjoy a quiet, high-class environment.
