999 Restaurant & Bar

Kupang


In the shadow of an old fort, this tropical outdoor bar has an expansive thatched roof, views of the shabby beach and the ever-present sound of rolling surf. There's a pool table, comfortable repurposed tyre seats, a full bar including plenty of cocktails and a decent menu, too. Regular live music and a full band on Sat nights.
