A New Energy in Ubud Nightlife
When people talk about Ubud nightlife, they often imagine quiet wine bars and early dinners. But Spice by Blake, nestled along Jl. Monkey Forest, is rewriting that story. The restaurant hums with a different kind of energy — elegant, vibrant, and undeniably Ubud. Here, nights unfold slowly: starting with beautifully plated dishes and ending with inventive cocktails crafted to keep the conversation going.
It’s not a club, and it doesn’t need to be. Spice by Blake brings together the best of both worlds — the sophistication of fine dining and the social ease of a bar that feels alive after dark.
Where the Vibe Meets the Flavor: Inside Spice by Blake
At Spice by Blake, the experience begins with food that celebrates Indonesia’s soul in a fresh, modern way. Led by Chef Blake Thornley, every plate tells a story of local ingredients elevated through creativity. The dishes are bold yet balanced — something familiar, yet entirely new.
But what makes Spice truly shine at night is the synergy between kitchen and bar. The bar isn’t an afterthought here; it’s a destination in its own right. The cocktail list is abundant and beautifully curated — think tropical infusions, spice-driven twists, and refined classics designed to pair effortlessly with the menu. It’s the kind of place where one drink turns into two, and dinner naturally flows into a relaxed evening that doesn’t need a plan.
The Heart of Jl. Monkey Forest
Located in the center of Jl. Monkey Forest, one of Ubud’s liveliest streets, Spice by Blake feels both central and secretive — a perfect blend of energy and intimacy. The open kitchen glows in the background as chefs bring modern Indonesian flavors to life right in front of you, while the bar invites guests to linger just a little longer.
The ambiance reflects Ubud’s evolving personality: warm, creative, and quietly cosmopolitan. Locals, travelers, and culinary insiders all find their way here — drawn by word of mouth and the promise of a night that feels both spontaneous and refined.
Why Spice Defines Ubud’s Night Scene
In a town known for yoga mornings and early nights, Spice by Blake adds something beautifully unexpected to Ubud nightlife — a place where the evening doesn’t have to end after dinner. With a menu that celebrates Indonesia’s culinary heritage and a bar that rivals Bali’s best, it’s where fine dining meets free spirit.
There’s no rush here, no pretense — just good food, great drinks, and genuine connection. The kind of night that reminds you why Ubud, despite its calm reputation, still knows how to surprise you.
Where Nights in Ubud Begin (or Never End)
As the candles burn low and the streets of Jl. Monkey Forest grow quieter, Spice by Blake stays alive with easy laughter, clinking glasses, and that warm Ubud glow. It’s not about nightlife in the loud sense — it’s about savoring every hour, one cocktail, one story, one shared plate at a time.
For those seeking a taste of Ubud that goes beyond the expected, Spice by Blake is more than a restaurant — it’s the rhythm of the night, reimagined.
