BADUNG, Bali – As anticipation builds for the FIFA World Cup 2026, sports enthusiasts in Bali now have a new destination to enjoy their favorite matches. Chook and Roos Sport Bar officially opened on Friday (June 5, 2026) on Jalan Raya Legian, Kuta, offering a modern sports bar concept that combines entertainment, sports, and a relaxed atmosphere under one roof.
The new venue is expected to become a popular gathering spot for both tourists and local residents looking to watch live sporting events while spending quality time with friends, family, and fellow sports fans.
Leonard Suwandi, Owner of Chook and Roos Sport Bar, said the concept was developed to cater to the growing demand from domestic and international visitors in the vibrant Legian-Kuta tourism area.
“Through this sports bar concept, we want to offer a different experience for our guests. They can not only enjoy their favorite sporting events but also relax and have a great time with friends and family in a comfortable environment,” he said during the opening ceremony.
More than just a venue for watching sports, Chook and Roos Sport Bar features a range of entertainment and recreational facilities, including live music performances, billiard tables, table tennis, and a gym located on the upper floor. These facilities are designed to create a lively atmosphere and provide a welcoming space for sports communities and enthusiasts.
In preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2026, management has also equipped the venue with facilities to host large-scale match-viewing events. With its opening coinciding with the countdown to the world’s biggest football tournament, the timing is considered ideal for introducing the new sports bar to both locals and visitors.
According to Supervisor Oka Gunawan, one of the venue’s key advantages is its strategic location in the heart of Legian. In addition to being easily accessible, the property offers a spacious layout and ample parking facilities.
“We understand that parking is one of the challenges in the Legian area. That is why we have prepared sufficient parking space to ensure visitors can enjoy a more comfortable and convenient experience,” he explained.
Oka added that the availability of parking is a significant advantage, particularly in Legian, where finding parking can often be difficult due to heavy tourist traffic.
The venue has already received positive feedback from visitors. Among them was Tobias Pattisina, a visitor from Jakarta who attended the grand opening and praised the concept for successfully combining entertainment and sports in one destination.
“The venue is comfortable and well-equipped. Visitors can watch sports, play billiards, enjoy table tennis, work out at the gym, or simply spend time with friends. I believe this place has strong potential to become a favorite destination for both tourists and local residents,” he said.
He also noted that its location in the bustling Kuta-Legian tourism district makes it an attractive option for visitors seeking entertainment and recreational activities.
With its wide range of facilities and strategic location, Chook and Roos Sport Bar aims to become a leading entertainment and sports hub in Bali. Football fans, billiards players, table tennis enthusiasts, and fitness lovers can all enjoy their favorite activities in one destination.
The presence of Chook and Roos Sport Bar is expected to further enrich the entertainment landscape of the Kuta-Legian tourism area while becoming a premier venue for watching major international sporting events, particularly the FIFA World Cup 2026. **
