Final Thoughts On Live Music, Bali

There are plenty of venues with live music in Bali; as you can see, there are live bands and talented musicians galore!

The only real question is, “Which of these 24 bars do you go to first?”

Of course, we think the answer should be “FINNS” and though that might be because we’re a bit biased at the best beach club in the world, we think the smiles on our guest’s faces tell the story of how much of a good time you’re going to have here.
