    Horrible / Worst experience. Not a recommended place to chill or drink. This is to everyone's attention that the staffs and bouncers have some behavioral/ attitude issues. Bouncers treat their customers way too rudely and usage of abusive languages. And rules of the bouncers to bring girls to the equal ratio of boys in the group. If not you are not allowed inside. What if you don't have girls in your group ? Where can you find girls to just enter the club ?? For REAL this is so absurb. If you ask the refund of the paid entrance ticket- they get into violence confrontation and physical assault. Bouncers attack their customers for talking FAIR, which is absurdity. Please don't run such club with bouncers treating customers with such attitude problems.

    I would highly recommend to switch your options. Please don't ever go here, terrible place. Bouncers are disgustingly rude. They threaten us violently. Not a safe place. I would rate this club zero stars if I could. Please avoid this place.

    The bouncers are nasty. They don't care about the clients. Horrible / Worst experience. Not a recommended place to chill or drink.

    The bouncers are absolutely the worst. They have serious attitudes. If you pay them a bribe, they treat you better. Saw it in person. Music is ok. The same songs all the time. R&B with European mix. Way too many guys and many pretending to be tough. Wish they had other clubs to compete with in Colombo for tourists and locals.

    I was disappointed by the inconsistency in the rules, seemingly based on crowd levels. It felt inauthentic and not conducive to a fair experience. Wouldn’t recommend if integrity matters to you. Who The behavior of the general manager towards customers was disappointing. Rude conduct towards patrons reflects poorly on the establishment’s service. Not the kind of experience anyone should have to endure

    The quality goes down day by day!!! The bouncers attitude as if they are miniature versions of Donald Trump. They would treat you better if only you treat them better. Service varies from oneday to another.. Drinks are over expensive ..music is good , they are open till the dawn..ok to go as a group of friends but the bouncers have their own rules about the male to female ratio. Used to love this place back then..

  • 3/5 Anshul K. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 340 reviews
    Our visit to Rhythm and Blues in Colombo on a Sunday evening was quite disappointing – the place was nearly empty with only one or two tables occupied, giving off a dull and lifeless vibe. The lack of a crowd definitely affected the atmosphere. Regarding the food, it was just average; nothing particularly outstanding to write home about. Overall, not the vibrant or happening experience we were hoping for on our night out.

    The music was great and the dance floor was always packed. The drinks were also well-made and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everyone was having a good time. The atmosphere was lively and the crowd was diverse. I would definitely recommend the R&B club to anyone looking for a fun night out.

    Never go to this club. The security at the entrance were pretty rude and doesnt have customers service at all. You could go inside only if you have a girl with you. And these people even doesnt know thats gender discrimination and was trying to teach me how it happens in other countries where I came from. Went there on 11th November night and their behaviour was disgusting. Went to industry club afterwards and saw the difference how security treat their customers. We were welcomed politely even the club was almost full.

    Worst place ever. You call this a club? It is a 3rd world dungeon filled with phoneys and over weight grandpas whom they call bouncers. I'd rather go to pillawoos and have a meal rather than going to this dungeon.

    One word for this place - horrible. We spotted rat on the floor and the couch. Drinks are over priced and the food quality sucks. Music is very loud given the size of the place. Avoidable.. Don't waste your time and money.

  • 1/5 I. W. 5 years ago on Google
    Ridiculously stupid place.... Exorbitant prices, substandard drinks (NO Lion Beer, by far the best Sri Lankan beer...), only cheap imported plastic beer... And the attitude of the bouncers and stuff, decor, music.... All beyond comprehension, outrageous and unacceptable. What a shame, And once upon a time, it was such a lovely place, with band on one end, and a pool table on the other.....

    Staff attitude is very bad. They dont know how to treat their customers, no decency at all. The manager is short tempered and is not appealing at all. These guys need to learn to respect their customers. Been here a couple of times, and from my very recent visit, it was evident these guys are loosing their customers. I dont recommend this place for anybody.

  • 1/5 Vinuka F. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 28 reviews
    I am compelled to write this review after an extremely disturbing visit to R & B Club, a place that not only fell short of basic expectations but also raised serious concerns regarding customer safety and staff behavior. The most alarming issue was the conduct of the bouncers at this establishment. Their behavior was far from professional; it was downright threatening and abusive. I witnessed, with increasing dismay, how they aggressively interacted with guests. The situation escalated to a point where bouncers physically assaulted some of the customers, an act that is not only reprehensible but also criminal. Such violence is inexcusable and casts a dark shadow over the entire club.

  • 1/5 Kashyapa J. 11 months ago on Google
    Had a terrible experience. Went there with a couple of my friends and we called the manager prior and informed him that one of our colleagues is wearing a cargo short, shirt and shoes and the manager said it was okay. After we went there the manager accused my friend by calling him a lier and said wether we are drunk because he didn’t tell us that it was okay wearing the short and then he said he can take us in but each guy has to pay 5000 for the entrance ticket. We also told him that our friend came from Australia for holidays and it won’t bring a positive image to the club and he clearly mentioned β€œI have travelled too and I’m a tourist too” lol. ( I think the manger was a former cabin crew member haha ). This is clearly absurd because we are the customers and we were accused and discriminated as liars, local guy wearing a short and wether we are drunk because he didn’t say that wearing the short was okay when he clearly did. Really bad the way the manager and the bouncers treated us and terrible attitude. Don’t recommend this place at all !

    One of the best nightclubs/lounges in Colombo that operates for almost 20 years. They offer a wide range of snacks and alcohol beverages with a chic and softly lit atmosphere that usually gets lively as the night progresses. Staff is quite decent and provides a commendable service. Its a well established venue to experience some great entertainment.

    Excellent ambience! The music in a Friday night is spot on. Drinks are expensive. There's an entrance fee of a 1000Rs for men and women walk in free. Booze up and come here to dance the night away - it will be EPIC!

    We went on a Thursday for ladies night and enjoyed the free cocktails. Danced the night away, the DJ was awesome. Staff keeps watch to make sure everyone is safe. We were three girls unchaperoned and had unwanted attention from men but nothing seriously damaging. So much better than most unsafe clubs.

    A bit tiny. Crowded. Dj good. Many older customers. Very expensive. Not many female customers to see. Many working women. Security is aggressive and large door entry free just to have a drink. We pay alot and go inside and realize is 75 percent men. And High prices. But if you get a bottle they will treat you well.

    The club is great of you like R&B Style of music. Its a little bit expensive like 1000 lkr to 2000 lkr for a drink. During week days be sure to get there after 12 because there would be not much of a crowd...

    The bouncers at the entrance is worse and annoying. They charge men Rs 1000 for entry but still can't go inside if you don't bring a girl with you. Its quite ridiculous that we have to pay 1000 and have to bring a girl too. And there was no crowd when we got there.

    It was a very fantastic night. There was a very decent crowd no hustle bustle with anyone. A good amount of people were there and most of them were the elite crowd of the urban colombo. Drinks were good and DJ was okay. But you can definitely enjoy yourself there. Expect the crowd around 10.30 p.m.

    Congratulations for serving value customers for 20years. As a result oriented customer, I always stick to this place for last 15 years. Its always been a full house with genuine service and eventful standards. Currently, full house with Nothing! Menu doesn't support what your require. eg: if you want to have a Bull Frog single shot , they are asking me to buy a full bottle and served Gordans and say Thank you! I still value the good old bouncers (aka humble humans) Persoanlly requesting to revamp as before it gets diluted. Best Wishes

    Rhythm and Blues is my go-to nightclub, and after years of frequenting, it continues to impress. The atmosphere is fantastic – a perfect blend of safety and vibrant energy. The music is always on point, creating an unbeatable rhythm that keeps the night alive. One thing that sets this place apart is the availability of food throughout the night. It’s a lifesaver when you need a late-night bite. The security is top-notch, with a special shoutout to Kamal at the entrance. Rhythm and Blues truly knows how to keep the beat alive!

    I would like to start by thanking everyone who works here.they are all amazing people. I have never felt safe in a club anywhere in the world like I felt here. The music played here is from a few generations to now so you have a few generations having fun together. Talking about the management I have to mention the manager Deyan.he makes everyone that enters that club feels like a million bucks.he knows and feel the crowed.simply put that club will never be the same without him
