Casablanca Bar

Casablanca on Jalan Danau Tamblingan 120 is the closest thing Sanur has to a proper live music venue. Cover bands play every night from 9 PM, running through classic rock, blues, and modern pop with enough energy to fill a room that grows from quiet to packed over the course of each evening. Happy hour from 5 to 8 PM features buy-two-get-one cocktails and five-Bintang buckets for IDR 150,000, which pulls the after-work crowd before the bands start.

The audience is Sanur's expat community in full force, joined by Australians on shorter stays and travelers who stumbled in and decided to stay. The bands are competent and high-energy, treating the gig seriously enough that the music becomes the center of the room rather than background noise. Front-and-center seats get the full volume; tables toward the back allow conversation over the sound. The energy peaks on Fridays when the room is standing-room-only.

In Sanur's entertainment landscape, Casablanca is the main event after dark. The Jazz Bar offers different programming, and the Fire Station does its Wednesday blues night, but Casablanca runs live music six nights a week with a consistency that anchors the neighborhood's social calendar. Friday Pressure Hour, offering free beer for one hour, amplifies the already-busy end of the week.

The happy hour bucket deal is the best drinks value in Sanur. Arrive before 8 PM to secure a seat. Follow their Instagram for the weekly Pressure Hour timing. Closed on Sundays.
