The Jazz Cafe located in the Ubud, the cultural heartland of Bali, is about an hour from the main tourist area of Kuta-Legian-Seminyak. Ubud was voted the top Asian city destination by Conde Nast Traveler readers in 2009. While Ubud is known more for its traditional Balinese music form, gamelan, the Jazz Cafe has become a big draw. The Cafe offers dining, drinks, music and dancing. As with most clubs on the island, there is no stated dress code, although your best bet here is casual chic; this venue draws a mix of locals, expatriates and tourists.
The Jazz Cafe is open every day except Monday from 5 p.m. until midnight. Live performances start at 7:30 p.m. and run until 10:30 p.m. The Jazz Cafe has a cover charge of approximately $2 per person. Music spans the spectrum of jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, funk and World music. Reservations are recommended. The Cafe has free pickup service from Ubud area hotels.
