Book NowAbout Mensa - Asian Bistro and Bar
Overlooking the bay in Bingin, this breezy hideaway pairs sunset pool dips with bold Pan-Asian bites—without the high-friction day-club scene. Diners come straight from the beach for bundled multi-course small plates like duck potstickers, red snapper ceviche, and crisp calamari. The cocktail program leans local with Balinese arak infusions, while Wednesday nights bring unhurried vibes set to a live solo sax. Hit the happy hour, dip into the lounger pool once you hit the modest spend, and linger over sweet potato gnocchi and nasi goreng as the sun drops.
- Bundled Small Plates: Order multi-course bundles of 3 or 5 sharing plates, featuring duck potstickers, chicken sate, and snapper ceviche.
- Poolside Lounging: Diners gain pool and lounger access after reaching a modest food and beverage minimum spend.
- Wednesday Live Sax: Midweek dinner shifts feature live solo saxophone sessions alongside happy hour cocktail specials.
