Klub Kembali is Selong Belanak's leading craft cocktail bar, occupying a position on the South Lombok coast that most visitors would not expect to find: a venue genuinely focused on the craft and provenance of what it puts in the glass. Open from midday until 11 pm, it draws a mix of resident expats, surfers winding down after a session at the beach, and travellers looking for something beyond the standard Bintang-and-sunset formula.
Indonesian spirits at the centre
The bar's signature approach is building its cocktails on Indonesian spirits sourced from local distilleries, rather than defaulting to imported bases. This gives the list a distinctly regional identity — the cocktails reflect the archipelago's distilling traditions in a way that few venues in South Lombok attempt. The result is a menu worth reading rather than scanning, suited to guests who want to drink something they could not have found at home. Alongside the cocktail programme, Klub Kembali runs a global-fusion food menu, broadening its appeal beyond just drinks.
Beyond the bar
An outdoor bocce court adds a social dimension that sets the venue apart from a conventional lounge bar. Tasting-menu events — held periodically — offer a more structured way to explore the drinks programme alongside food pairings. These events tend to be communal occasions and attract a crowd willing to engage with what is being served rather than simply ordering the familiar.
Selong Belanak setting
Selong Belanak is best known for its sweeping white-sand bay and gentle surf, which makes it the most visited beach in this part of South Lombok. The village and its surrounds have grown steadily as a destination, and Klub Kembali represents a step forward in the local food and drink scene — evidence that the area is developing beyond basic surf-camp fare. The beach itself is a short distance away, and scooter hire from most accommodation in the area is straightforward.
Who it suits
Klub Kembali suits cocktail-curious travellers, couples looking for a considered evening out, and anyone who wants to explore Indonesian spirits in a well-run environment. The $$$ price point reflects the quality of the programme rather than inflated tourist pricing.
