ELEVATING THE BAR SCENE IN UBUD
Experience of curated cocktails and Japanese fusion gastronomy
Adjacent to Mandapa's Wantilan lobby, Ambar welcomes guests to an elegant open space decorated with wooden elements and surrounded by greenery. The new outdoor wooden deck takes a scenic moment to a new level overlooking the abundant lush forest of Mandapa village during the golden hour. Accommodating up to 60 people, Ambar is a celebration of the rich flavors of Bali paired with the traditional beverage and culinary techniques of Japan. It is a destination to explore the re-imagined creativity behind the handcrafted cocktails and Japanese fusion gastronomy.
Ambar's signature cocktail offering, crafted with local herbs, roots, and barks, draws inspiration from ancient Ubud medicinal practices. The coconut-aged cocktails, served table side, provide an immersive experience that connects guests with Bali's natural bounty. The bar's exclusive house-made vermouth, infused with native botanical, further showcases the bars dedication to multi-generational practices and its craftsmanship.
