open from
seven, til the
music stops.

Pison opened as a coffee bar with a stage in the back. Eleven years later, the back is still a stage — and the front has fed half of Bali at one point or another.

Exposed beams. Dark wood panels. A hand-painted world map across the back wall. Bookshelves on the mezzanine. Encaustic tile that nobody walks past without stopping. The room was built for two things [coffee that takes itself seriously, and music that doesn't]. Most days it does both before noon.

It's the first stop on a long night, the last stop on a slow morning, and somewhere in between it became one of the most-tagged rooms on the island. We're fine with that.
