LAUNCH OF THE PONTIAC STARDUST AND FLAT STANLEY, BALI

We are delighted to announce the launch of The Pontiac Stardust and Flat Stanley in Bali, which sees the partnership between the Roopchand Brothers (Co-Founders of venues such as The Pontiac, Rummin’ Tings and Amalfitana in Hong Kong) and The Dandy Collection (Founders of hotspots including Neon Pigeon, Fat Prince and Summerlong in Singapore).

The Pontiac Stardust is a cosmic road trip thru 1950’s/60’s Palm Springs. A progressive cocktail bar inspired by the art and energy of the mid-century modern desert city, this is a culture, not a concept, in collaboration with award-winning bartender, Beckaly Franks. Reinvention with continued ethos and drive, The Pontiac Stardust in its new partnership is a follow up to The Pontiac Hong Kong, a fixture on the prestigious “Asia’s 50 Best Bars” list for four years in a row since its inception and voted #32 in 2019.

Located next door, and created in collaboration with Chef Matt White, Flat Stanley takes guests to vintage California and the Pacific coast. With flatbread pizzas as the mainstay, the restaurant specialises in hand-pulled sourdough pizzas topped with local Balinese produce for the freshest flavours. Chef Matt White’s experience includes stints working for world-renowned chefs Michael Mina and Wolfgang Puck. He started Extra Virgin Pizza in Singapore and was one of the co-founders of Alt. Pizza, also in Singapore, before taking on Flat Stanley.
