Book NowAbout Ambar Ubud Bar
High over the Ayung River gorge, Ambar claims Ubud’s dramatic golden hour perch—canopy views, infinity water, and botanical drinks in hand. Regulars plan their arrival around senja—twilight—watching the valley drop into shadow. Behind the bar, infusions draw from local medicinal recipes alongside fresh guava pours and house vermouth. The food holds its own against the scenery: red snapper sashimi, seared Wagyu, and tuna tartare mixed tableside with freshly grated wasabi. As dusk settles, live jazz fills the pavilion while staff discreetly send out celebratory plates of strawberry mochi.
- Valley-View Golden Hour: Live jazz accompanies panoramic sunset views over the Ayung River valley from an open-air infinity terrace.
- Botanical Mixology: Infused with indigenous herbs and inspired by traditional Ubud remedies, paired with signature guava cocktails.
- Tableside Tartare & Japanese Fusion: Raw tuna and salmon tartare mixed right before guests with fresh locally sourced wasabi, alongside Wagyu and sashimi.
- Thoughtful Personal Service: Staff recognize guests by name, tailor cocktail recommendations, and orchestrate anniversary surprises with celebratory desserts.
