😠 Overall, it is a lovely cocktail bar. With regards to food, I would highly recommend that one stays away from the over prices & microwave meals. Over & above, the bill comes with an array over additional expenses which was quite a shock to myself & my mother People often mention service, view, great, good, cocktails, recommend,

    Good drinks and nice views. The staff is nice but does not pay attention to guests and the service is super slow and has to be reminded multiple times.

  • 4/5 N N. 3 months ago on Google • 236 reviews New
    View and interior are gorgeous and the service was really friendly and they did a great job. We don’t prefer the taste of the cocktails (too sweet) and we would choose beer the next time

  • 3/5 Stefan H. 3 months ago on Google • 220 reviews New
    The views are stunning, the breeze is beautiful. The service however leaves much to be desired. You have to be direct and say exactly what you want, then you will have a nice evening. The prices are expensive for Colombo but affordable compared with anywhere else. The food was tasty but nothing to write home about. However I did appreciate getting a proper meal at 10pm.

    The Bar on Top was an excellent place to chill after a hard days work. Great service , Good Food. But same cannot be said about the All day dining Resturant at Granbell. Totally disappointed.

    Nice view, very average food, slow service, live music was too loud and unnecessary as most people want to relax and enjoy the views of the city, the pool overcrowded for the perfect sunset Instagram photo

  • 4/5 Ritu K. 3 months ago on Google • 51 reviews New
    The bar's view is amazing, and though it's often crowded, we scored a table. I loved everything, except we got charged for a snack we didn't order, which we missed at the end. Despite that, the experience was good. Live music boosted the vibe and made it enjoyable. The crowded setting didn't dampen the positive aspects of our visit, with the fantastic view and lively music creating a memorable atmosphere. Overall, it was a good experience!

    Slow service, expensive food and just average Only few tables But nice view If you are usual instagram influencer you are gonna enjoy infinity pool with 50 people inside

    Awesome bar, great cocktails. Great atmosphere. The bartender spicy mango was great and made some incredible cocktails. We highly recommend visiting here and we would definitely return again.

    Amazing view and so good coctails. Nuwan bar tender is the best, he can make any cocktails you want! 😍

  • 5/5 LaVonne Q. 11 months ago on Google
    After a very rainy afternoon we have relaxed on on the roof of the Granbell Hotel. Here we were served by several very pleasant young people, entertained with live music - great - and Nuwan taught us how to make Spicy Mango cocktails! Delicious! Thank you!

    Beautiful bar with a great view. Just be aware that taxes and service charge is not included in the price and you end up paying 30% more than advertised in the menu.

  • 4/5 Gihani A. 10 months ago on Google
    The first time we went to the bar our bartender Nuwan made sure we had the best time. He makes his own cocktails for us to try and they were delicious. 10/10. The second time we went we only ordered food but the food was terrible. We ordered two pastas and they were both really bad. Only recommend for drinks!

    We had a relaxing evening by the rooftop bar at Granbell Hotel Colombo. A great place to hangout with a spectacular city/coastline view and tasty food. A big thank you to the manager, Dhanushka and the team for the excellent service.

    The bar on the rooftop of Granbell Hotel offers a stunning 5/5 ambience and view. The live music and good service added to the experience. However, the drinks, especially cocktails , were average. If you value ambiance and view, this place is a great choice, but for exceptional drinks, it might be better to explore other options."

👍 A very aesthetically pleasing interior. With a great shisha lounge in the back garden area. Prices are leaning towards the more expensive side, you can’t get a main course for less that Rs.2.500 but considering the economic situation of the country that is well expected. Portion sizes were fairly ge...
