Police demand Kuta’s Sky Garden nightclub shut down due to permit issue, threaten permanent According to local reports, the permit had run out on January 16 but it’s expiration had been initially overlooked due to a change in the club’s management. “They didn’t realize that their operational permit was dead, because of the transition from old to new management, said Igak Suryanegara, the head of Badung Police, yesterday, as quoted by Jawa Pos.
Kuta’s most infamous nightlife venue has been forced to temporarily suspend its operations due to an expired operational permit.
The club’s management were reportedly given two weeks to amend the situation but to no avail. As a result, police officers arrived at the Jl. Legian venue on Friday (15/3) to affix official warning stickers to the entrance demanding the closure of the club until further notice.
In addition, the giant videotron owned by Sky Garden, which had also been operating without permission, was requested to be deactivated. If management fail to take care of the permit issues, Suryanegara says that they face a second warning letter and the threat of permanent closure. Update: Sky Garden has since reopened for business, reportedly on the condition that its permit issues be resolved within the week. When telephoned to verify the matter, Sky Garden failed to comment on the permit issues but said that they had not missed a day of business. (coconuts.co)

NEW IN THE GU: KOLEKTIV
You are not in
Ok guys, we’ve already talked about the epic Indonesian tapas resto that is SVA Indonesian Tapas & Bar, but today we’re here to talk about Kolektiv - the new brekkie & lunch spot on the street-level of the SVA complex.
This industrial-beach themed spot made it’s way into our hearts with the first bite of the almond croissant we had with our coffee - before our actual breakfast order even made it to the table. The pastries from the in-house Braud Artisan Bakery on display were just a little too hard to resist, and rest assured that a healthy selection of the pain au raisins, banana & chocolate Danishes and classic croissants made their way to our table while we looked through the menu.
Kolektiv is a fresh and breezy addition to the Berawa cafe scene; tucked away down the gang behind Morabito Art Villa (just opposite Finns), all you digital wanderers and laptop warriors will be happy to hear that the wifi is
if you are not in the
fast, the coffee is epic (like, actually though ! ) and there is just enough peace to keep you focused on updating your travel blog.
At first glance the food menu might look simple, but there are a few specials that will have your mouth watering for days afterwards. I mean... the Twisted Reuben hot pressed breakfast sandwich is EVERYTHING (and more) you could want out of a breakfast sandwich;

crispy sourdough, roasted beef tenderloin, caramelised onion and wholewheat bechemel with extra mozzarella to turn your tastebuds into the gooey, delicious goodness that this king of sandwiches turned out to be.
If that feels a little extra and you’re after something a little more basic, then go with the toast + dip selection. Choose from country, sprouted quinoa, onion foccaccia or malted mixed grain, add butter, honey, jam, sauerkraut or homemade aioli and top it off with a few of the delicious dips. We went with country toast and topped it with creamy corn, scallion cream cheese (YUM!) and basil yoghurt. Oh wait, did we call this something a little more basic? Well, basic it is not.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet corner of the Gu to get some work done, looking to brunch it up with all the foods, or are simply in need of a sugar high (Pain au Chocolat with the banana brulee affogato. You won’t regret it), get yourself to Kolektiv.
The corner table is ours, but there’s plenty of space for all of you guys too!

Bali punk rock icon Jerinx chides trashy tourist behavior in Kuta, suggests filtering system
Jerinx, the tattoo-covered drummercum-activist from Bali punk rock band Superman is Dead, publicly criticized the anti-social behavior of Kuta tourists via his personal instagram account, tagging Governor Wayan Koster in the controversial post. The photo, which was reposted by Jerinx from @telebali two days ago, shows a caucasian man blocking the road and holding up traffic, presumably in some kind of drunken stunt. In his lengthy caption, the drummer said that it’s this kind of delinquent behavior that’s putting ‘quality’ tourists off his neighborhood, Kuta. “Fact: This kind of white supremacy mentality of tourists makes Kuta increasingly quiet. Quality tourists tend to avoid Kuta due to the behavior of the white trash,” reads part of the caption. It’s true the Kuta has a bit of a reputation for attracting rowdy tourists and Australian high school graduates on “schoolies,” and it’s no wonder with the affordable accommodation options and late-night bars selling cheap booze. Coconuts Bali has reported on a number of incidents involving loutish foreigners, including a street-side smackdown between two shirtless muscle men, and an allegedly ‘shroomed-up woman wandering zombie-like into the Kuta traffic. According to Jerinx, the problem started in recent years after the government allowed tourists from a number of countries, including Australia, to enter Indonesia without having to pay for a visa. “Since it’s been visa-free, Bali has been flooded with rejects and tacky behavior,” he wrote. “If you see tourists like this, don’t tolerate this. Remind him
if his behavior is causing a mess,” he writes. Foreign business owners in Bali also come under fire, with the impassioned rocker accusing them of racist marketing tactics. “Please also note, many of these white supremacist tourists open businesses in Bali with racist marketing tactics. The simplest example: opening dozens of tattoo studios with a marker/sticker that says “OWNED BY AUSSIE,” while all staff are local. Why try if it’s not to demean a locally owned tattoo studio?” he writes. Jerinx appealed to Governor Wayan Koster and Giri Prasta, the Regent of Badung, to do something to improve the situation.
“If@gubernur.bali @giri.prasta really loves Bali, let’s quickly arrange a filtering system for tourists entering Bali.” Exactly what kind of filtering system he meant, or how it would be implemented, was not explained in the post. Jerinx is part of Kuta-based punk rock icons Superman is Dead, an awardwinning three-man band that has taken their music on tours to Australia and the US as well as throughout Indonesia. He’s known as a controversial figure, and is one of Bali’s most openly opinionated musicians. Together with his bandmates, he has campaigned tirelessly against the Benoa Bay reclamation project, appealing personally to President Jokowi, and rallying fans for the cause. (coconuts.co)
