The Shed Sports Bar in Sanur Kauh sells a small Bintang for Rp28,000 and cocktails for Rp55,000-85,000, with local bands from Thursday to Sunday, according to its official website and menu (checked 24 October 2026). If you want a cheap, relaxed night in Sanur without a beach club minimum spend, this shed full of classic cars is worth a look, as long as you are happy to cross to the west side of the Ngurah Rai Bypass.
What it is like
It used to be called Man Shed, and the old Instagram account @manshedsanurbali is still linked from the official site. The room is a tin-roofed shed filled with classic cars, Vespas and old motorbikes, vintage signs, a pool table and TV screens. The website lists AFL, NRL, cricket, football, boxing and motorsport broadcasts, plus a stage for local bands from Thursday to Sunday playing rock and pop. According to Bali Holiday Secrets (updated 4 October 2026), an Australian expat has run the bar for more than 10 years, and the crowd leans towards long-stay foreigners living in Sanur.
What it costs
- Beer: small Bintang Rp28,000, large Rp40,000, 620 ml draught Rp40,000, Corona Rp65,000.
- Cocktails and spirits: Arak Honey Rp55,000, Mojito or Margarita Rp75,000, Long Island Iced Tea Rp85,000. A shot costs Rp75,000-85,000, wine by the glass Rp50,000-60,000.
- Food: nasi goreng Rp35,000-45,000, fish and chips Rp65,000, beef rendang Rp80,000, Man Shed Burger Rp85,000.
The flipbook menu on the official site was uploaded in May 2024, but the same Bintang prices (Rp28,000 and Rp40,000) were quoted again by Bali Holiday Secrets in October 2026. The menu does not mention tax or service charge, so ask before you pay. Two people having three large Bintangs each plus one main each should budget roughly Rp370,000-420,000 before tax (about AUD 35-40).
Hours, busy nights, bookings
The official site does not list opening hours. Bali Holiday Secrets says 11am-11pm daily, while some directories say 10am-midnight, so assume it closes around 11pm and call ahead if you plan to arrive late. The busiest nights are Thursday to Sunday when the band plays, and whenever a big match is on. There is no online booking; for groups, use the number on the official site. No dress code or age limit is published. It is a casual bar where T-shirts and thongs are fine, but the legal drinking age in Indonesia is still 21 (see Bali drinking age rules).
The downsides
It sits on Jalan Tirta Nadi II, west of the bypass and well away from the Jalan Danau Tamblingan bar strip. You cannot walk on to Casablanca or Linga Longa. Reviews summarised by Bali Holiday Secrets also mention inconsistent food and some items, such as pizza, not always being available. One safety point that matters here: do not cross the Ngurah Rai Bypass on foot after drinking, because the road is wide and traffic is fast. Book a taxi or ride-hailing bike from the front of the bar, and do not ride or drive yourself (see drink-driving limits in Bali).

FAQ
Is The Shed the same as Man Shed? Yes. The Finns Beach Club guide calls it "The Shed Sports Bar (formerly Man Shed)", and both Instagram accounts are linked from the official site.
Does The Shed show AFL and NRL? Yes, the official site lists AFL, NRL, cricket, football, boxing and motorsport. Which matches are screened is announced on social media.
Is it family-friendly? No entry age rule is published, and the menu includes juices and milkshakes. Band nights are loud, so daytime or late afternoon suits kids better.
