WEE WHISKY DRAMS , FANCY WINES & COCKTAILS FOR LADS & LASSIES, DOORS OPEN AND BOTTLES TIPPING NOW!

THE STORY

It all began with a naughty lad from Leith who used to get himself into trouble in the streets of Edinburgh, fueled by whisky. An English rose whipped him into shape, and as the apples don’t fall far from the tree, the next generation of Scottish hooligans came by their love of whisky and gins naturally. Mixing their love of Bali and passion for the finer spirits and drams, as well as fine unconventional bars, The Howff was born through a labour of Scottish love.

Tucked away under The Deck café & bar from the Island bustle is an authentic Scottish experience. For a wee dram or a gin globe of the finest calibre, this unique dungeon bar on the rocks over the sea is the first in its class on Nusa Lembongan. Whet your tastebuds with a plethora of single malts, as well as a unique gin menu of underground, speakeasy finds. Unique pairings served with class by a touch of Scottish-Balinese character, The Howff is the “secret meeting place” where the old school British West meets in the South East.

ELIXIRS

Whiskys

Conceptualized by Scots, this unique whisky list will make any connoisseur thirsty. A strong selection of Islay, Lowland, Highland, Speyside, & Island single malts, with some Japanese & Australian varietals, these are those malts that are off the beaten track & hard to find.

Gins

An international collection of gins, these are served “Spanish Style” with house-dried garnishes to complement the unique gin botanicals. A little taste of Bali to enhance the gins, enjoyed purely on their own or with a tonic, these are more than just your standard juniper berry gin.

Cocktails

The Art of The Howff Cocktails designed by our Italian mixologist, trained and experienced in the finest of speakeasys and bars in Italy, London & throughout New Zealand. Luca Rosignoli raises the cocktail bar using foundations such as house-infused chamomile vodka with emulsified egg white, to smoking a Speyside whisky right before your eyes, and jalapeno-infused tequila with a side of Howff-made ginger sweetness. All named after unconventional Scots, the ingredients fit their story to complete the Art of The Howff Cocktail experience.

Wines

Our wine list has been thoughtfully curated to complement the flavours of The Howff kitchen, offering a well-balanced selection from both Old World and New World vineyards. From crisp whites and elegant rosés to bold reds, alongside a celebratory offering of sparkling wines and Champagne, the collection showcases both classic favourites and interesting discoveries. Whether paired with a meal or enjoyed on its own, our wines are selected to suit every palate and occasion.

THE ART OF THE HOWFF COCKTAIL

The Lossie Haze

Crafted from the pure waters of the River Lossie in North East Scotland, the Speyside whisky adds a smoothness to this hazy, smoke & wood-plank infused cocktail. Glen Moray Speyside Whisky, Homemade Orange Peel Syrup, Angostura Bitters

The Alan Special

Dissatisfied with the Cardinale’s gin brightness, Big Al sought a deeper, warmer spirit for his signature drink. He instructed the bartender to substitute the gin with a proper Scotch whisky, creating a sophisticated and assertive profile. Complex, strong, and unforgettable.

The Clever Club

Peruvian Dream

The “Peruvian Dream” elevates the classic Pisco Sour by introducing an intoxicating lemongrass aroma and flavor profile. Its unique twist comes from topping the traditional Peruvian base with a crisp, dry splash of Verdicchio white wine Glen Moray Speyside Whisky, Homemade Orange Peel Syrup, Angostura Bitters

The Sorbet Margie

Born from the desire for something more than a classic Margarita, it blends quality tequila and a touch of agave syrup with a delicate scoop of refreshing lemon and basil sorbet.
