Ubud Cocktail Bar
One of Bali’s finest bars, The A Bar recently released its Cocktail Anthology, an illustrated booklet dedicated to the beverage traditions of the 1930s and the colourful foreign artists and academics who were drawn to Bali for its ethereal beauty and exotic way of life.
Apéritif’s cocktail bar is Ubud’s finest destination for crafted cocktails and viby atmosphere. Join us from 4pm until late to indulge in one (or two!) of our unique cocktails while playing a game of pool with the marvellous view of Ubud’s rice fields and jungle. To admire the best sunset in Ubud, stop by for sundowners on our jungle facing deck. Head Mixologist Panji Wisrawan and his team will ensure you have an enjoyable experience, as they present a range of signature and favourite cocktails, inspired by the 1930’s.

The Anthropologist
Margaret Mead
Margaret Mead is an anthropologist who retreated to a village in Bali called Bayung Gede, located in the island’s central highlands.

Meet The Team
Head Mixologist, Panji Wisrawan
Crowned the winner of the Campari Bartender Competition 2019 with his signature Campari Cocktail “Jack & Rose”, Panji brings over 10 years experience in delivering creative bar menus to Apéritif.
Having graduated from Nipaka L’ecole Hoteliere in Denpasar, Panji has worked in various locations in Bali including at the fashionable Da Romeo Italian Restaurant in Canggu and was part of the opening team at La Palma Beach Club. Constantly striving to push the boundaries with his cocktail lists, Panji took to the seas in joining Viking Ocean Cruises spending over two years on water where he would host various events including whiskey tastings and mixology classes for guests. Panji’s favourite cocktail is a Boulevardier because he is a fan of bourbon and negroni. The bold and complex flavour of Boulevardier also represents his personal and career growth in the hospitality industry.
Panji especially enjoys welcoming guests from all corners of the world, sharing travel experiences and sparking memories by creating special cocktails.
