Opening this June, Pony arrives in Berawa as a new home for dining and late-night gatherings, conceived for guests who like their meals unhurried and their evenings open-ended. Restaurant, bar, and lounge fold into a single fluid setting, offering a polished but unforced take on social dining in Bali.
Shaped by the belief that great food and great nightlife belong under the same roof, Pony is built to carry guests effortlessly from dinner through cocktails and into the small hours, one continuous space, one continuous mood. Composed and expressive, considered and a little spontaneous, elegant but very much alive.
At the centre of PONY is a menu inspired by the elemental simplicity of cooking over fire. Anchored by a wood-fired grill, the kitchen draws from broad European influences layered with subtle Japanese and modern touches, allowing charcoal, smoke, flame, and quality ingredients to lead the experience. Designed around sharing and connection, the menu moves between wood-fired meats and seafood, handmade pastas, raw dishes, and plates built around bold flavours and ingredient-driven cooking in a setting that feels refined yet relaxed.
The cocktail program runs in parallel, approachable, precise, and easy to drink across a long evening. Lighter aperitivo-style serves open the meal, The cocktail program follows the same philosophy, approachable, precise, and designed to be enjoyed across a long evening. Lighter aperitivo-style serves begin the experience, gradually evolving into bolder cocktails as the energy of the room builds throughout the night. Modern classics are treated with restraint and a touch of imagination, with each drink crafted to complement both the menu and the atmosphere. Modern classics are treated with restraint and a touch of imagination, each drink crafted to sit gracefully alongside the kitchen.
“The cocktail list is built around balance, clarity, and ease — drinks that pair with the food, the music, and the hour. We use modern techniques like clarification and carbonation to keep things precise, but the goal is always something you actually want to keep drinking.”
— PONY Bar Team
Visually, Pony draws on the effortless cool of a New York lounge, blending vintage character with a refined contemporary edge. Deep burgundy tones, soft lighting, layered textures, curated artwork, and custom design details come together to create a space that feels intimate yet full of energy. The atmosphere shifts naturally throughout the evening — relaxed and convivial at the start, becoming more vibrant as the night unfolds.
Music is woven into the experience rather than treated as a separate program, building naturally alongside the rhythm of the room. Alongside its nightly energy, Pony will also host a curated calendar of dinners, sessions, and collaborations across music, art, and culture, creating moments that keep the venue dynamic and continually evolving.
“PONY is built around a duality. One side instinctive, expressive, a little unpredictable; the other more considered, restrained, and precise. The space holds both at once, so the night can move between them without ever feeling forced.”
— Ramon Vincent, Founder
Hospitality sits at the heart of it all. The team has shaped Pony around looking after guests well — reading the room, pacing the meal, making each welcome feel personal whether you’ve come for an early plate or a late seat at the bar. Located on Jl. Raya Semat, Tibubeneng, Berawa, Pony operates from dinner through late-night, with reservations recommended and walk-ins welcome.
