Malverde Seminyak: Entry Fee, Dress Code, Do You Need to Book?

Getting into Malverde at Jl. Kayu Aya 117, Seminyak, costs a IDR 150,000 first drink charge; women enter free Sunday to Thursday, according to its official FAQ (checked October 2026). The venue calls itself Bali's first tequileria and opens daily from 8pm until late, with Latin and R&B DJs. Answers to the questions people search most:

How much are drinks?

The drinks menu on the official site (file dated 31 July 2026) lists Heineken at IDR 65,000 and Corona at IDR 95,000. A 30 ml tequila starts at IDR 125,000 (Jose Cuervo Especial, El Jimador, Olmeca), Don Julio Blanco is IDR 200,000, bottles from IDR 2.5 million. Mocktails IDR 120,000. All exclude 20% tax and service. The menu also warns some brands may be out of stock because of import rules.

Is there an all-you-can-drink deal?

Yes. The FAQ lists all-you-can-eat-and-drink tacos, beer, margaritas and cocktails daily from 8pm to midnight for IDR 199,000, plus "2 hours free-flow" from 10pm to midnight tied to entry. Ask on WhatsApp which one the IDR 150,000 covers, because the FAQ wording can be read two ways.

When is it busiest?

Malverde doesn't publish peak hours. What is certain: the deals run 8pm to midnight and the venue stays open late; The Beat Bali describes people dancing on the tables every night. For general club closing rules, see what time bars and clubs close in Bali.

What's the dress code?

"Upscale fashionable." No hats, singlets, sandals, beachwear, ripped or baggy clothes, or sportswear. That's stricter than most Seminyak bars, so don't come straight from the beach.

What's the age limit?

21 and over, with valid ID. The door can refuse anyone who doesn't qualify.

Do I need to book?

For general entry, booking is recommended but not required. VIP tables and sofas must be paid in full in advance to be held.

The downsides?

The 20% surcharge turns one Corona into roughly IDR 114,000. Different entry rules for men and women can feel unfair to all-male groups. If you want a quiet conversation, the music and crowd are too loud; La Favela on the same street has several floors with different moods.
