Sanur nightlife is basically the local bar and restaurant scene, with the odd place such as the Cat & Fiddle pub providing live music. There are no real nightclubs in Sanur and the younger party crowd do not frequent the area as much.
One of the most pleasant aspects of Sanur is its large expanse of beach front. A footpath covers the entire 5kms allowing visitors to stroll along and explore, stopping when they feel like it for a drink or snack at a beach side restaurant. The sand quality is good in Sanur, yellowish in color and fairly clean. The best spots of beach are in the outside the Inna Grand Bali Beach hotel in the north and outside the Gazebo hotel in the south.
Looking back to the 20th century, Bali attracted a number of famous expats including Australian artist Donald Friend , Belgian artist Adrien Jean Le Mayeur de Merpes and author Vicki Baum who wrote ‘A Tale of Bali'.
Sanur is not famous for its nighttime entertainment, but there are a few things going on. The Cat & Fiddle Pub on Jl. Camara #36, has Irish folk music night every Tuesday , anyone is welcome to get up and join in. Starts at 8pm . Admission free.
Many hotels in Sanur feature traditional Balinese dancing. This will be advetised at each hotel and is usually a once a week event. Restaurants along the main street, Jl. Danau Tamblingan also offer Balinese dancing on occassion, advertising it on a board outside. The Grand Bali Beach Hotel has a ‘cultural evening' with buffet dinner and Balinese dancing (Mon, Wed, Fri at 7pm. Other places where you might see Balinese dancing include Bali Wirasana Hotel, Swastika Garden 2, Lotus Pond .
Arena Sports Bar is a fun place to catch a soccer match or a game of Aussie Rules. Located at Jl. ByPass I Gusti Ngurah Rai 115, it is easy to get to, for people staying along Jl. Danau Tamblingan. If Sanur isn't lively enough for you, jump into a cab and head to Kuta (nightclubs located on lower Jl. Legian) or to Seminyak (bars & nightclubs located at the end of Jl. Double Six and on Jl. Dhyana Pura).
