👍👍 Definitely among the best places where to spend the dinner time in Ubud! The vibes are amazing! The live music can be a bit loud, so get prepared for a sing-along night rather than cosy chats at the table. The prices are just fantastic.

The live music can be a bit loud, so get prepared for a sing-along night rather than cosy chats at the table. The prices are just fantastic. All taxes and services are included, so there is really nothing to complain about! Just order your food and beer!

    Nice restaurant with good vibes, music was a little loud for my taste but still good. Food was really nice, I got wings and the Bernaise burger. The burger was nice and different from any other burger I’ve had before, nice combo of flavours but was quite oily because of the sauce. Would recommend

    Me and my travel buddy enjoyed this spot on. The honey garlic wings, beet salad were very delicious. Homemade fries were tasty as well. Try for yourself.

    Tripped over Why Not on an evening wander up Jl Bisma, and what a brilliant bar this turned out to be. Friday night one of the best Blues / Rock bands I’ve heard here were belting out standards such as Mustang Sally and Proud Mary to an eclectic audience of all ages. Turns out the blues guitarist is part of a famous Indo band, and boy could he play. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. What a great place!

    Crazy bar with great live music and good prices. We also had an appetizer there which was really good and saw many people having burgers. Perfect to hang out in the evening, even on a Tuesday it was crowded.

    Loved the atmosphere and the staff were so helpful. Such a nice vibe here. Unfortunately the potato skins gave my partner food poisoning but I couldn’t fault the ribs or mozzarella dippers they were yummy. Was more expensive than other restaurants

    Relaxing vibe, inexpensive drinks and a chill time. We had drinks here; Happy hour is 3 for 2, or buy 2 and get the 3rd free. Drinks are inexpensive for this area even without the happy hour! They also gave us a little bowl of popcorn for free. The servers were very nice and the atmosphere was so laid back and chill. We didn’t get a chance to try food but it looked tasty!

    Was in Ubud for 2 days only and came here both nights. After just 2 nights felt like a local patron with such friendly staff! Definitely recommend going before 8pm for happy hour and listening to Abu and Friends after 8pm on Tuesdays (could change nights not sure). They had the whole place singing! Video attached is the only one I could upload without my terrible voice singing along haha! Thanks guys!

    Such a great place ! Nice vibe, dynamic waitresses, nice food. We had the vegetarian burger and loved it. Big bonus : government taxes and charges are all included, makes things much transparent and easier. Cheers !

    Why did the Why Not Restaurant and Bar get a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from me? Here are 5 reasons you should definitely go here if you are in Ubud. 1. The atmosphere is fantastic. Always something happening in this bar. Bands and 🎵 music of different kinds to entertain you. 2. The staff 😊 All the staff are friendly, happy and welcoming. We have been here many times now, and each time we arrive, we are greeted as long time friends 🙏. 3. 👍Great views of Jalan Bisma from the bar. There are plenty of interesting people passing by. 4. The food 🥙🍛🍔🍲🍚 looks amazing. Truth is, we haven't eaten from the menu yet. 5. The beer 🍻. They are well priced and always 🧊🍺.

    Wow! There was live music playing and the ambience was amazing! 🤩 The food was delicious! Best fries I’ve had in Asia so far! The band was really good as well🎸🎶🙌🏼

    Chill place and nice vibes. A burger was good and the sauce that came with the french fries was tasty. Chicken and cheese in the nachos was a bit dry for me and spicy chicken was yummy but not spicy, it’s like sweet chicken.

    All good in general! My first time in Bali and I come from countries where there is no smoking inside the premises.... I DO NOT SMOKE... and it was uncomfortable to have dinner with people around smoking... THEY SHOULD divide the place for smokers and non-smokers. .. a negative detail like this can affect you from enjoying a pleasant dinner.

    D’Kay played and they were brilliant. A lively pub atmosphere, the staff were very switched on, and the cocktails were good too.

  • 4/5 devarpan c. 10 months ago on Google
    A great vibey place to listen to some live music, have a few drinks or a lot of drinks, and grab food. Heard some incrediblly talented bands here on two consecutive nights. Beers are cheap around 35k for local beers and while I didn’t try the food. The burgers looked very nice. The place is small and gets pretty crowded but service is still very good. Would go back in a heartbeat to listen to the live music. Definitely recommended for a night out.

    The tuna was amazing on top with the homemade fries and a delicious salad! With live music the whole place was rocking out 😁 it was very crowded but fun!

  • 5/5 Ariel K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, delicious food at cheap prices, staff are very friendly. took advantage of happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails, although those poured after happy hour were a bit stronger. Live music most nights at 8, and gets quite busy shortly after. Potato skins aren’t great, but quesadillas, nachos, and wings are 10/10. They also give you popcorn when you sit down which is a welcome touch. Great atmosphere for an evening in ubud !

    Great food, awesome live music nightly with attentive and friendly staff and good owners. This bar is a well oiled machine with many loyal locals as well as tourists.

  • 5/5 Kate G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely atmosphere, busy with a good mix of people. Live music on Saturday night was amazing. Happy hour cocktails really good too. We also got the veggie nachos to share which were great. Would 100% recommend if you’re in Ubud!

  • 5/5 Anish V. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the food and ambience here. Very chill and relaxed. It's a comfy setting perched up higher than the road. Small and cozy but with great food and drinks.

    Good music with below average food . Nachos was okay and the juice was basically 100 ml as in the picture

  • 5/5 Philip T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe! Food is great quality too. They often have live music.

  • 5/5 Yulia 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to have fun and sociable night with live music in Ubud. Like, WHY NOT?! I had Bearnie Burger, bottle of beers, and got special shots provided by the cool and humble owner, Bli Bagus. We also tried Arak Bali😁 If you like warm ambience where you can dance and drink with affordable price, put this place in to your list!

    Its a good restaurant/bar, we ordered mia goreng its like a noodles and vegetables combination like a pad thai, very good. They have a happy hour and you can choose 2 classic cocktails and pay like 7 dollars. Then also have live reggae music and the vibes were amazing. Comfortable, razonable price, good food and kind owners and waiters. You can only pay in cash.

  • 5/5 Tadeo José Pineda M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good vibe! We arrived at 21:30 and there was a band singing reggae songs. Very good! Food is very good! It’s a pity they didn’t accept card payments. I would have spent a lot more

    The drinks are average, but the music is great. If you want to feel the atmosphere and listen to the music, don’t miss it.

👍 Ordinary food in a spectacular location, in the middle of rice paddy. The crispy duck is really crispy, a bit too dry. The sate lilit is delicious. The gurami goreng bit bland / tasteless. Nor the sauce / sambal nor the fish have any taste. It also would be better if they have soup in their menu to...
