It is a beach bar. Drink sitting on the beach as the sun goes down.
You wil find it on the beach where Legian Garden Hotel meets the Mandira Hotel, and there is a surf lifesavers stand on stilts nearby too. But look out for what looks like a white local station/office building on the side of the paved beach road, and on it a sign that reads POS BALAWISTA LEGIAN KELOD Kabupaten Badung. Stand in front of it, turn and face the ocean and step through the gap in the stone wall in front of you onto the beach and there it is! Blue handcart supporting a red esky - also beach umbrellas, plastic seats and very relaxed holiday-makers!
Sammy and Suzie are the lovely Balinese couple who run it. Forumites (and other travellers) turn up about 4ish onwards and sit around yakking and having a few drinks as the sun goes down. Then a need for a pee and something to eat kicks in and we all disperse. (Sometimes forumites will go off to have dinner together).
As you leave, S&S count the bottles under your seat and you pay up. Prices very reasonable. Their pretty daughter Made is often there serving with them and the beer is ice-cold, and if you prefer fizzy drinks etc they have a variety of those as well.
They have a few beach sellers that are regular visitors to the bar too, and they negotiate reasonably quietly, less of the hassle you can get elsewhere on the beach.
Speak up when you arrive and ask if there are any others from the travel forum present and you will quickly be in conversation!
