Best Gay Bars in Bali

Mixwell Bali commands a strategic location on Jalan Camplung Tanduk in Seminyak and is home to one of the best drag shows on the island. The shows run nightly and the crowd is a good mix of locals, visitors and expatriates. The bar mostly comes to life near midnight and goes on well into the wee hours.

Expect go-go dancers and a great roster of resident and guests DJs that spin everything from lounge to happy beats and heavy bass. Bartenders fix up some of the best cocktail mixes in the area and there’s a collection of champagnes reserved for those in the mood for celebration. Overlooking the street, this popular Bali gay bar has seen regular faces gather and new friends made every night.

Bali Joe is a staple gay bar that serves as the beacon for the LGBT community in Seminyak. Located on Jalan Camplung Tanduk, the bar is an excellent spot to chill out with friendly staff and bar crew, who not only prepare refreshing cocktails, but also occasionally join in on the revelries.

The bar’s interiors comprise artistic décor and retro photographs of bygone-era celebs. Expect dancers climbing onto the bar tops as the night matures, together with lip-synching drag queens on the separate stages throughout the evening.
