My boyfriend and I have just gotten back from Bali. He was right into finding the cheapest places for a Bintang so we certainly did the rounds to find out. He also wanted the coldest beer too as he thought the beer did tend to go warm too quickly.
I can highly recommend Bagus Pub in Poppies Lane 2. Their slogan is "We Serve Bloody Cold Beer". It's very true. I think it's about $1 for a beer there or 7,000 rupiah. Very reasonable and one of the cheapest places we came across - we went to a few too!
You have to go there and try it. It's a very simple place but we found ourselves going back there time and time again...almost every day. We made very good friends with one of the workers, Ricky, who also organises water sports in Nusa Dua (the cheapest prices you will get in Kuta or Nusa Dua for that matter). He is a great guy and can teach you so much! He speaks very good English too and does quite a few party tricks! He is definitely worth going there for - if only to meet him. Can't speak highly enough of him! If you do happen to stop by Bagus Pub, send him Ali & Mick's love!
Have fun!
