Decent little place to grab a cold beer if you're walking near (North of) Losari Beach. Very cold Bintang at the same cost as Anker. Service is indeed a bit slow, atmosphere is quaint, nothing special. Still, gets it done for a rehydration break. Signage out front is "New Kareba," not "Cafe Kareba." FYI.

Live music, romantic atmosphere, good food, beer and drink. We had dinner here, and a game of cribbage. A good place to spend the night.
