A Weekend in Berawa: Sun Down Market, After 9 and Late Nights
By Mata Berawa Team · Berawa, Canggu
Berawa on a weekend has a rhythm the rest of Canggu doesn’t quite match. It’s central enough to reach everything and calm enough to actually enjoy it, and increasingly it’s where the good gatherings happen — markets, music, a drink that turns into a night. A lot of it clusters around one compound on Jalan Berawa, which makes planning easy: you don’t have to move the scooter much.
Sun Down Market — the monthly one to catch
Once a month, Mata Berawa hosts the Sun Down Market, a weekend gathering that’s part swap meet, part community hang — local makers, vintage and pre-loved racks, food and drinks, and music as the sun goes. Run with community partner LOKO, it’s the signature event of the place and the easiest way to meet the Berawa that actually lives here. Dates land on the weekend and get announced on @mataberawa, so check before you plan around it.
After 9 — the weekend opener
Fridays and Saturdays, the weekend kicks off at Paisley with After 9, a ladies’ free-flow Karamata hour (9–10pm) — the arak-and-tropical-fruit highball that’s become the house pour. It’s a soft landing into a later night: the bar runs till 02:00 on weekends, one of the later options in Berawa.
And the rest of the night
- Eat first at the warung — Nusantara plates from Rp 22,500, open from 10:00.
- Drink and listen at Paisley, where Live at Mata puts new artists on the stage playing their own songs on selected nights.
- Browse Live byChance for independent Indonesian labels before you go.
Three things, one compound, no second scooter ride.
