Discover a hidden rooftop bar in Kuta, conveniently located above the Krisna souvenir supermarket. This perfect pre-flight oasis features a stunning infinity pool with direct views of the airport runway, offering incredible sunset and plane-spotting opportunities. While the local Indonesian dishes like Ayam Betutu are highly recommended, you might want to skip the Western food. It's the ultimate layover spot to relax and unwind before heading to the airport, but it's best to visit in the evening.
Just finished a shopping spree at Krisna souvenir supermarket in Kuta, exhausted to the point of collapse. I originally just wanted to find a place to sit down casually, but Anjay! I discovered that the supermarket's top floor actually hides such a rooftop bar with an infinity pool?! 🤯
As soon as I came up, I was amazed by the super large pool and the expansive view. The sofa seats were as soft as cotton; once you sank in, you wouldn't want to get up. The best part is, it's directly facing the airport runway, so you can chill and watch planes take off and land ✈️. The sunset view is even more breathtaking [1]. Honestly, just this atmosphere made me feel like I was back at a resort, completely forgetting that downstairs was still a bustling souvenir market.
I thought it was just an Instagrammable spot known for its ambiance, but unexpectedly, the Lokal food was quite Mantap! Our Ayam Betutu[2] was crispy and flavorful, just like it should be in Bali. My friend's Nasi Goreng[3] was huge; she said it was so delicious it tasted like heaven... a bit exaggerated but definitely good. The wood-fired pizza[4] also smelled wonderful, and watching the chef prepare it was quite therapeutic.
⚠️Let's be honest, time to avoid pitfalls!
However, ordering food at this place is a bit like opening a blind box. The Lokal dishes are generally safe bets, but the Western food... it's hard to describe. The steak we ordered was incredibly tough, so chewy it made us question life itself [5]. Although the pizza was tasty, for the price of 125k [6], there were only a few toppings, so the value for money isn't high.
A few other complaints:
- 1. Half the dishes on the menu might not be available, citing 'technical issues' [7]. Be prepared with backup options.
- 2. Service depends on luck, especially when it's close to closing time; they might turn off the AC and music early, which feels a bit like rushing guests out [8].
💡Editor's highlights, here's the guide
So, is this place worth visiting? My advice is:
- If you have a late flight ✈️: then this is absolutely your heavenly transit spot! It's super close to the airport, so you can comfortably eat, watch the sunset, and hang out until the last minute before heading to the airport [9].
- Best time to visit: Definitely don't come in the middle of the day; you'll melt from the heat! You must come in the evening; enjoying the sunset with the evening breeze is the correct way to experience it. However, during kite season, the wind is super strong, so forget about having a perfect hairstyle.
- Ordering guide: Go for Indonesian Lokal dishes with your eyes closed! For Western food, please think twice before ordering.
- Families with kids: Not highly recommended. The pool is a 1.6-meter deep pool, with no children's area [10]. Also, they are extremely strict about outside food; even the small snacks my friend brought for her child were stopped [11], which is a bit of a turn-off.

- Not just an IG spot! Their **Ayam Betutu** is crispy, flavorful, true Bali taste [2]; **Nasi Goreng** is huge, tastes like heaven! [3]
