A new dining and bar destination has opened in Berawa, Bali, with Pony introducing a concept that brings together wood-fired cuisine, cocktails, and late-night dining in one space. Located on Jl. Raya Semat, Tibubeneng, the venue combines a restaurant, bar, and lounge experience designed for guests to transition from dinner into evening drinks.
At the centre of Pony’s culinary offering is a wood-fired grill, with a menu focused on ingredient-driven cooking influenced by European cuisine and complemented by Japanese techniques. The kitchen highlights the natural flavours of charcoal, smoke, and flame through a selection of grilled meats, seafood, handmade pasta, raw dishes, and shareable plates.
The menu is designed around communal dining, featuring dishes that encourage sharing while maintaining a refined yet relaxed approach. Through the use of fire-based cooking methods and quality ingredients, Pony presents familiar flavours with modern interpretations across its food selection.
Alongside the food menu, Pony’s cocktail programme follows a similar approach, focusing on balanced and approachable drinks designed to accompany the dining experience. The selection begins with lighter aperitivo-style cocktails before moving into more complex creations throughout the evening, incorporating techniques such as clarification and carbonation while maintaining drinkability.
“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,” said the Pony Bar Team.
The interior takes inspiration from New York lounge culture, combining vintage elements with contemporary design through deep burgundy tones, soft lighting, layered textures, and curated artwork. The atmosphere evolves throughout the evening, shifting from a relaxed dining setting into a livelier late-night environment.
Music is also incorporated into Pony’s overall experience, with curated programming and future collaborations across music, art, and culture planned as part of the venue’s calendar.
“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,” said Ramon Vincent, Founder of Pony.
Operating from dinner through late night, Pony welcomes reservations and walk-in guests, offering a new dining option in Berawa that combines open-fire cooking, cocktails, and evening entertainment within one setting.
