Roasted Bone Marrow

Homemade Grandma Balls
Poutine Fries

Our vision for The Forge was to create a gastro pub with the right balance of class and comfort. We wanted our guests to make it ‘home’. Their default location when lunching, watching sports, meeting friends or enjoying an afternoon ale. We designed the menu around what you miss from back home, and sourced the best craft beers to complete the experience. The result has filled a lingering gap in Bali’s pub scene. And each time our guests return, we’re delighted to welcome them home.
GROUND FLOOR
The entrance at the street-side terrace has rounded booths, making it a great place for group get-togethers and watching the action on the street pass by. Moving inside we have the DJ booth and a full-stacked bar with our amazing selection of craft beers.
1ST FLOOR
The upstairs loft has its own bar and outside terrace. All tables have a clear view of the large screens so when the games are on, no one misses the action. And with our digital ordering system, it doesn’t matter where you sit, your order always arrives fast.

For this place I hear a lot of influencer in Paris promote this place, when I went there, I feel likes in other country! The interior and the buldings its so amazing...
I was ordering green tea croissant, lemon pie, and 3 of drinks, honestly the pastry was so good but the drink need to do adjustment. I am a sweet person and for me the drink not too sweet.
