Thread: Are there any Business Clubs in Bali?

On a typical day I may chat with a couple of hotel owners, a few restaurant operators, a bar owner or two, the Australian Consulate General, the guy who operates fast boats to Lombok, a property developer, the news reporter or the guy farming vegetables. However none of this is done in a formal matter. Normally it is done standing around and casually having a beer.
This is when things such as various permits, liquor licences, general prices, cars for sale, houses to lease and a multitude of other things are discussed.
In Sanur if you visit places such as White Sands, Ducks Nutz, Barbs Sports Bar, Angels or the Bali Senia Hotel you will get to meet some genuine basic folk who are more than willing to assist you.

Thanks no-idea for your reply, I hope to meet local/expat business owners in the way you suggest aswell, I also believe you often get more/better info from these kind of informal meetings than at any official club meetings.

I do however like a casual meeting once a month (or every 2 months) at some business club. The one's in UK that I have attended again are very informal and only for an hour of two with refreshments (beer or two haha), these can be a good place to meet other like minded people and make new business friends.
