Tickets are also sold at many hotels, and by street vendors who hang around outside Ubud Palace - all charge the same price as the tourist office.

    Blue Cat

    As unadorned as an empty garage, this live music venue has local expat garage bands, better bands of locals and even, shudder, karaoke. Bintang specials at happy hour.
