Seminyak, Bali
Drinking The
Spirits
A reservation-led latin cocktail bar.
Devotion poured into every glass.
Origin
Two Mothers,
One Earth
Chakana was born from a recognition — that two ancient traditions, separated by ocean and millennia, speak the same truth. In the Andes, Pachamama. In Bali, Ibu Pertiwi. Both names mean Mother Earth. Both traditions honour the ground beneath our feet with offering, reciprocity, and reverence.
The Chakana — the Andean stepped cross — is a bridge. Between above and below, past and present, the known and the unseen. We carry that meaning into this space.
This bar is not a destination. It is a crossing.
Chakana
Bridge between worlds
Ayni
Sacred reciprocity
Pachamama

Ibu Pertiwi
Balinese Mother Earth
Philosophy
The Gate of
Pachamama
The name Chakana is directly inspired from one of the oldest symbols of cross in the Andean culture. It is a gate of amiability, where people gather to drink, give thanks and reconnect with the earth through taste, food and music.
Here, every drink is an honor. Our ingredients are sourced with care and our service is our devotion. At last, we hope you reach the "ayni" (reciprocative energy) from our place, Chakana.

How we receive
and celebrate
01
The Arrival
You are welcomed with warm water steeped with herbs gathered from the garden. A moment to pause. To land. To be here.
02
The Offering
Each drink is introduced slowly. Its story. Its roots. The land it comes from, and the land it arrives upon. Drinking becomes listening.
03
The Gathering
Small tables. Intentional seating. Artisanal South American–Indonesian cuisine, shaped by remarkable ingredients and precise technique. Elegant, layered, and made to be savored.
04
The Vibe
DJ set. Intentional dancing. A curated South American Latino soundtrack defines the room — rich in rhythm, soft in presence, and designed to linger. The energy is intimate, but unmistakable.
