General Lee's Cocktail Bar is a hidden cocktail bar in Gili Trawangan, tucked away beneath palm trees and a star-filled sky. We serve crafted cocktails and aperitivos in a relaxed, atmospheric setting away from the beachfront crowds. A favourite spot for sunset drinks and laid-back island nightlife.
General Lee’s Cocktail Bar was never planned.
It emerged from the journey behind Lost Paradise — the story of a young backpacker who, through years of persistence and hard work, built an entire island resort in Indonesia.
Along the way came an education in building from the ground up: shipping wood from Borneo, loading it onto trucks in Java, learning local craftsmanship, understanding Indonesian culture, and shaping spaces room by room.
General Lee’s was built quite literally overnight, using the most beautiful leftover teak wood from Lost Paradise — pieces we had put aside, saving them for something special.
One day it was hidden behind a bamboo fence, the next day, the fence came down — and suddenly there was a bar. Islanders passing by stopped and asked, “Where did this come from?”
Backed by more than 15 years of experience in global hospitality, General Lee’s is defined by character, craftsmanship, and atmosphere — expressed through carefully crafted cocktails.
