The Best Airport Bars in Bali

Ngurah Rai International (DPS) — locally called Bali International, formally named after the local Balinese hero — is one of the most heavily-trafficked tourist airports in Asia and is also one of the most underwhelming for drinking. The terminal is functional rather than ambitious. The Premier Lounge (Priority Pass accessible) is the best public-side option at DPS, with a proper cocktail bar and decent wine list. The Garuda Indonesia Executive Lounge is the SkyTeam Elite Plus play.
