Score context

40 Thieves sits unmarked above a Petitenget ramen shop: eight cocktails, a mule, a spritz, NYC-speakeasy furniture, a DJ. Guests who find the stairs like it. Confirm it's open — some maps still flicker. This is Bali nightlife with a real bench, not a beach club.

Guest score details

Themes in this historical read

What guests like

  • Unmarked speakeasy above a ramen shop: NYC Lower East Side energy, Bootlegger's Mule, Gunpowder Spritz.
  • Eight-drink menu so you don't flip 50 pages — locals, expats, a DJ, chesterfields.
  • The Bali bar that outgrew beach-club defaults; Cloak & Dagger hid inside it during the pandemic.
  • Sit at the counter; bartenders keep the night light.

What to know

  • Expat-heavy, mingle-forward; not a quiet craft sit.
  • Kuta/Kerobokan nightlife can feel tourist-club next to Jakarta's 2025 rooms.
