It's official KSC won best Rooftop bar in Bali while I was out there and I knew there was a reason why I loved this place!
While topping up your tan, taking in the amazing view and listening to the chilled vibes by the infinity pool take the time to try the amazing range of adult sorbet's, a perfect poolside treat on a super hot day. I had to have two; the watermelon cooler and aperol spritz couldn't have been more perfect in the 28 degree heat, I would have had more if I had not been supervising the kids! The pool amenities brought over by Agus were a much appreciated added bonus.
Lunch time and it would have been rude not to try any dishes on the lunch menu. The lobster roll was exceptional, perfectly sweet meaty lobster balanced with a kick of wasabi mayo in toasted brioche, a must for lunch. If you fancy something a little lighter, the California rolls were a decent portion with the tuna sliced perfectly you could see the rainbow at the cut. Be careful of the wasabi though, apparently it's a lot hotter here! The poke bowl went down a treat after a busy shopping morning. A big bowl of sweet rice, tuna and all the trimmings, fuel for the rest of the day!
Dinner time and I wish I had the ability to eat more! Being the only seafood lover I wish I could have been able to order the seafood platter it looked amazing and judging from the faces of the guests from other tables who were lucky to share the same love of seafood as me, it didn't disappoint, definitely a nice touch to have Chef Ben present it to you! I had to settle for the grilled octopus and grilled prawns both signature dishes on the menu and both absolutely banging! The octopus was perfectly cooked, firm but tender, with little nuggets of crisp, n'duja to add interest, the prawns were a treat, big and meaty, not overcomplicated and cooked perfectly in herby garlic butter with sweet roasted garlic on top. The steak, what can I say, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked with chimichurri sauce, heaven!
Aside from the food the staff were amazing, friendly and attentive, and perfectly at home with the kids. Riska and Yahyah were so sweet, checking in on them whenever we were dining and making necklaces for them to take home, a wonderful keepsake of their holiday.
I would recommend everyone to eat at KSC while in Bali, the perfect place to sit, eat and drink while watching the amazing...
Read moreIf you're in Bali and looking for the perfect spot to watch the sunset while enjoying some of the best seafood around, Kuta Social Club (KSC) is the place to be. I've been here a bunch of times, both as a guest at Mamaka Hotel and just stopping by from outside, and it never disappoints.
The vibe at KSC is laid-back but still has that cool, trendy feel. The rooftop setting gives you awesome views of the beach and ocean, making it the perfect place to chill out as the sun goes down. The decor is modern but with a touch of Bali, and the whole place just feels inviting and relaxed.
The food here, especially the seafood, is out of this world. Chef Ben really knows what he's doing. Whether it's the grilled octopus or the prawns, everything is fresh, flavorful, and just plain delicious. The dishes are all beautifully prepared, and you can tell a lot of thought and care goes into each one.
You absolutely have to try one of their famous Aperol Spritzes while you're here. It's the perfect drink to sip on while you watch the sunset. They’ve got a good selection of other cocktails and drinks too, so there’s plenty to choose from.
The staff at KSC are great—super friendly and always ready to help. They make sure you’re having a good time, whether you're just there to enjoy the view or asking for food and drink recommendations.
Whether you're staying at Mamaka Hotel or just dropping by for the evening, Kuta Social Club is definitely worth a visit. The combination of stunning sunsets, amazing seafood, and great drinks makes it one of my go-to spots in Bali. I highly recommend...
Read moreHaving a late flight out of Bali can leave you with a whole day and luggage to figure out. It wasn't easy to get online information about this place. I text via WhatsApp and messenger but no replies. I didn't really want to just rock up with a luggage bag unannounced. I decided to go anyways. My flight was leaving Denpasar at 11pm, I chilled by the pool at KSC from 3pm, they kindly stored my bag for me 🙏 the tunes were on point. Most places will play bad covers or dated tracks so it was literally music to my ears to have something more up my street! Had some snacks and drinks (both reasonably priced) before my dinner sunset reservation on the deck. There happened to be a strong earthquake which shook a few people but the staff were instantly on and calming guests as it was just a short shake followed by an aftershock. Dinner was beautiful Infront of the sunset, I had the grilled prawns with veggies and a Reece's sour cocktail 👌 instead of dessert I opted for arancini and it was awesome! The cocktail was enough sweetness for me. I called a cab and was on my way to the airport by 8pm. Love an open kitchen, it brings a great atmosphere to the dining room! Great vibe here and unlike most beach front pool/beach clubs there's no minimum spend for entry. Although I certainly spent some good money and it was worth it. Would definitely return, friendly helpful staff and service was...
