Pretty Poison's bar overlooks an old-school '80s skate bowl, so a surfboard isn't the only board you to need to pack. Run by longtime Aussie expat and surfer Maree Suteja, it's a great place to hang out, with cheap beers and bands. Being Canggu, there's logo wear for sale. It's close to the chaotic comedy of the rice-field shortcut.
