The short answer
Single Fin: what visitors should know first
Go for a sunset drink with a view, not for a quiet family meal. It serves alcohol and gets lively, especially on Sundays and Wednesdays, so decide in advance if that suits your party. Reserve a table.

Why it matters
Why Single Fin is worth your time
Single Fin shows how Uluwatu's surf culture turned into a nightlife scene. It sits where surfers and tourists mix, and the setting by the Suluban break is hard to match for evening light.
For families from India it is a place to treat selectively: good for a sunset drink with adults, less so for children or anyone wanting quiet. The same stretch of coast offers calmer viewpoints at Uluwatu Temple, so you can choose your mood.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Book a table for late afternoon and ask for one at the cliff edge. Arrive early because the approach lane is steep and parking is limited. Single Fin is a large, multi-level bar on the cliff above the Suluban surf break, and from the upper terraces you can see surfers working the reef below.
The official site lists opening hours by day: weekdays are earlier-finishing, while Wednesday and Sunday run into the early hours, so the energy changes sharply. If you want a calm sunset drink, go on a weekday. If you want the nightlife atmosphere, expect music and crowds.
Food and drinks are priced for a tourist cliff bar, so check the menu before ordering. Alcohol is available, but non-alcoholic drinks are easy to order too. Plan your return transport in advance, since taxis can be slow to arrive.
