Bakfickan Bar

Bakfickan Bar (listed locally as Casablanca Sanur) is a bar with a live Latin band at the centre of the room — reviewers single out Thursday band nights where salsa, bachata and kizomba get played and people clear space to dance. The layout is bar seating and a band area with room in front for dancing; there are darts and tables around, so the dance space is improvised rather than a dedicated ballroom.

The venue runs evenings from about 17:00 and reviewers say the place pumps until the stated closing time around 00:30, with the band often the reason people come. Expect an expat/tourist crowd, louder live-sound and cigarette smoke reported by several guests. Staff are attentive but some reviewers mention persistent upselling; drink prices are above average (one guest noted a double vodka over US$10). Tip the band if they’re good — that’s common local practice.
