They just told us to wait and we stayed for an hour at the door and the line didn’t move at all, they didn’t let anybody in. What a waste of time. We wante...

    The manager/owner (blond foreigner) was very rude at the entrance, huge line at the door and they had no idea what is the capacity of the place. They just told us to wait and we stayed for an hour at the door and the line didn’t move at all, they didn’t let anybody in. What a waste of time. We wanted to reserve a table the day before, they said its impossible, “first come first serve”. Looks like a cool place but wish the management is better. If I can leave a zero stars, thats my rate. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

    Great place to chill out and watch sport. Best to reserve a table if there’s a specific game you plan on watching! Quick & friendly service. Great food too - had the cheese burger and chicken burger, both were delicious!

    Not sure about what else they do but definitely, definitely don't go for the Mojito. A blind monk who can't read could throw together a better cocktail than this. What a mutilation of a great drink. My soul is in anguish. Also, I agree with previous reviewers in that there is very little if any alcohol in it. I should have seen the signs when the drink appeared within 90 seconds of order.

    Great service but food not at same level! Been here many times and had one of the best welcoming and warm arrangement to watch my favourite sports! All good and fair until last time after i came already 3-4 times i brought a bunch of friends and enjoy together. The food failed badly to me for many reasons i will not get on explaining. The chicken wings were over rated and came slow, the burgers patty is around 70-80gr (half of normal burger patty) and tbh not bad but to small and poor for a price of 60k and without any potatoes or menu to accompany them. Thats kind of bad deal thinking are all over places for 50-60 they give u combo of chips and burger with much more options and tastes and toppings. the sauces were mostly to salty and to liquid to even add them more suitable for tacos somehow but not for burger so I felt left down by this experience and nicely asked how is possible not even a deal for fries and burger the girl couldn’t help and she been so sweet but i felt a miss management in there badly and that’s a pity because for a client like me i could be dedicated till the end and also brought so many people with me I got no answer to some questions which are normal client orientated. however hope they can improve their food section and keep a good image. for us probably look for other place to watch the sports in future. but may pop for a beer or juice time to time! Thank you guys and see u around. hope ur boss can take better care of it’s business....

    Hands down the best sports bar in Bali. I loved the old venue, but the move to the old Fishbone local site near old mans has not not only made this place the best place to watch sport, but one of my favourite venues in canggu. The chicken burger for me is still one of the greatest creations of all time, but the new revamped menu (especially the brisket plate) has made the food up there with the best in the area. I highly recommend the chicken tikka kebab, brisket plate and tacos, and of course the burgers. Great atmosphere, love the staff, and the drinks are straight fire.

    One of the better bars around. Has nice lawn out back and an expat vibe. Close to the beach, sells two Kura Kura on tap (nice locally brewed craft beer) and Heineken. Can get busy with expat crowd. Also not far from the Barn Pub, which is a bonus.

    Love this place and highly recommend! I went to watch a football game a few weeks ago and have been back so many times since! The staff are super friendly, it has a great vibe and the vegetable salad is delicious. They also have beer on tap which is epic.

    The best sports bar in Canggu. The Cheeseburger is easily best in Bali as well. Classic pub flavours, amazing service and a great crowd. Great place to watch the fights or any big match. Highly recommended

    Best sports bar in Canggu. The crew will throw on any game you want on and always enough screens to go around. Been working out of here every day with solid wifi and good coffee

    Went for happy hour. The atmosphere was nice but we weren't sure if our cocktails had much/any alcohol in them.

  • 5/5 Darren S. 1 year ago on Google
    Multiple screens , good craft beer options. Nice sport watching foods. Perfect spot to watch some sport and take a break from the “beautiful people” on Canngu 😂

    Best place in Canggu !! We went every night for one week straight. Food is great, staff is so so nice, pool tables available to play when you want, and overall really chill, convivial vibes. By far my favorite place to have a lowkey night out in Canggu Thanks again to the team for being so amazing ❤️

    Go for the wings and fried chicken, stay for the sports! Epic new spot in Canggu on Batu Bolong. The Little Creatures on tap is also a great addition!

  • 5/5 Jennifer D. 3 years ago on Google

    I've been dreaming of chicken ever since I first went there. Chicken for breakfast, chicken for lunch & chicken for dinner. Chicken chicken chicken. With a side of the double cheeseburger and a Bloody Mary. Job well done team.

  • 5/5 Ellis E. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool modern sports bar with decent food - not the cheapest place in Canggu but definitely worth a visit! The staff are friendly and are really attentive!

    Modern sports bar, large screen TV’s, good music and delicious fish tacos with a spicy kick!! Courteous staff, Sandi helped rinse the sand from the beach off my feet before I entered. Great place!!!

  • 5/5 fotini g. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location, relaxed vibe, delicious food (just try the burgers!!), cold beers, snooker, sports in the monitors, what more can we ask?? Definitely recommend!!

  • 4/5 Matthijs van der W. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place to watch sports, easy reservations via WhatsApp. Deducted one star because the toilet situation is a disaster. They are in dire need of a mens urinal instead of two toilets for an entire sports bar.
