    Perfect place to hang out with friends with live music. Prices are quite on the high end. However you'd pay for enjoy the atmosphere. Overall service from the staff pretty decent.

    Such a nice place to have a beer evening or harder. They offer happy hour at 5 p.m. onwards every week days. We had buy 1 get 1 for Carlsberge pitcher and 50% off for 2nd plate of bites. Medium range restaurant.

    If you are looking for a pub with rock live music, this is the go to place. They serve liquor of course and food as well ! There are lot of places which serves liquor in Colombo but they are not upto standards. In on the green is a best place to go! 😉

    It a small cosy pub & has a old bar feeling. The best part here is the music, there's always some or the other live band playing & they are all so good. The cocktails were a bit of a disappointment but I liked the 'make your own drink' concept. The food's a little expensive here but it tastes fine.

    Just as Galle Face Hotel, this pub is well managed. The bartenders are friendly, decent and will get your drink order just right. There's a live band playing on the background. There's tall chairs and a small dance floor. The bathrooms are clean. Feel free to tip.

    Went there for the happy hour 5.30 to 7pm. All cocktails and local beers and spirits 50% off. Great deal. Good service. Cocktails was tasty too (wasn't watered down). Expect a mature crowd. Negroni was tasty but was a tad bitter The pinacolada was tasty.

    Legitimately one of the best experiences I had. The food, the band and the crowd, amazing. Good portion of food and some of the best fries in Colombo. Loved it there!

  • 4/5 Karlo D. 8 months ago on Google
    Came 3 times and it was closed twice, even though it said open on Google maps. Obviously no one runs the opening hours properly or they simply don't care. First time we came, we loved it. Staff was amazingly friendly and professional. Prices were actually quite decent compared to other places in Colombo. Especially during happy hours. Nevertheless we came two more times, only to find the place is closed. Not sure how and when they open as they do not update hours on the map.

    Happy hour from 5-7 good deal. Food was good. They have beef burgers only in the menu but of you ask they will provide Chicken Burgers as well. Fries was good with their white sauce. We was able to order Pasta as well which was not on the menu. Mojito available for non-drinkers. Parked in hotel car park. The place is small. The crowd was ok. There are smokers in the same room. The band was too loud. Small food menu. Food items are pricey. Burger, Kottu 3000+

  • 4/5 Charmi L. 5 years ago on Google
    Good service. Had the peach variant of the Margarita, that my colleague was longing for. Happy hour is a good way to enjoy with in the budget so had a good time. A good band was playing, was good to express myself in song, as they played my all time favorite, Numb by Linkin Park. The only thing I disliked was the fact that it was a closed area and the smoke of the smokers were constantly circulating, I prefer a bit of an open space, so that air is relatively more breathable. Besides the down side, a good place to enjoy yourself with friends.

    Nice bar, but very overpriced and staff a little too eager to serve you another drink. We stayed because of the live band.

    From the moment i step through its doors, i am enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth where locals and travelers alike come together to unwind and create memories. The ambiance of the pub is inviting, with its rustic decor and cozy seating arrangements that beckon me to linger a little longer. But it's not just the food and drink that make this pub special, it's the people. The staff are welcoming. Isn't just a pub, it's a haven where friendships are forged, laughter fills the air, and memories are made.

  • 3/5 Rickard B. 5 months ago on Google • 72 reviews
    A good sports bar with classic cocktails, beer and snacks. Relaxing place to watch some cricket and enjoy a drink. If you need a break from local spicy food in Colombo this is a good spot Loaded fries with minced lamb were great!

  • 3/5 Shaneya K. 3 months ago on Google • 44 reviews New
    This used to be my favourite pub and loved the various live music events! Went on the 1st of Jan evening and the place was empty. Not even wedges on the menu coz of the prices. No vegetarian options. Happy hour from 5 to 7. Nachos came without the guacamole dip mentioned on the menu but we were charged 2k never the less !

  • 5/5 tharaka j. 8 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Really good bartenders and service. Really good service and original cocktails. The day i went there had some live music too.

  • 5/5 Chathushka P. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been coming here for atleast 10 years, still the same. Good food and drinks. Affordable. Good crowd and music.

  • 5/5 kaveendra G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to hangout in night time . Specially they are having good band performance around 8pm. Don't forget to drop by and have some shots n listen to good music 😌👌

  • 5/5 Raoul R. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is small but amazing with a smoking and non-smoking zone. The Staff lead by Feroze is homely and kind

  • 4/5 Nuwan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to enjoy 😇☺

  • 5/5 Samintha K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a pretty good bar/pub experience with all the lighting and a band playing inside it. Prices are also competitive, and the dishes had very good taste, but the size of the portion was quite small.

  • 5/5 Ignatius P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to have a drink. The food is delicious and value for money. It’s not a big place for huge crowd, hence it’s better to make a reservation before you go. The service was okay and the washroom is nice and clean. They do have happy hours between 5:30PM - 7:30PM. Better to call them before you go.

  • 1/5 Andrei P. 4 years ago on Google
    unreasonable pricing and poor selection of cocktails. I suggest you go to The Bavarian which is located on the opposite side of the road.

  • 4/5 Aaron 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    A bit pricey but not bad, make sure you ask for the cocktail jug menu as those aren’t in the usual menu they give you when you are seated. Removed one star as they don’t take tap to pay cards and I have become accustomed to the ease of using them.

  • 3/5 Jagadish Balakrishnan (. 5 months ago on Google
    We were there last night, Being a Friday night the live music band was great, with restricted song options as they couldn’t sing any of the 3-4 requests. Food is very Srilankan though the manager insisted a lot of foreigners can to eat there and enjoyed it…. Returned the chicken dish and the nachos were anything but like nachos… maybe Srilanka style…. Seemed like poori’s cut and fried. The sauce that went along with it was in edible.

  • 3/5 Yohan J. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is good, however be mindful of the happy hours. It's not as they seem, you can get ONLY up to 3 beer pitchers with 50% off, even if you have it within the happy hours. Any other pitchers ordered will not be considered for the happy hours, where you will have to pay full price, And this is not mentioned ANYWHERE..... Quite disappointing as we missed the happy hours in other pubs.

  • 4/5 Amy B. 1 year ago on Google
    It was very quiet, but a welcome haven from the heat. The beers were cold, and the menu is a mix of classic British pub fare with a few local twists. The staff were friendly and it certainly helped that it was happy hour. We didn't have any, but the barman churned out a few really good-looking cocktails. Nice, casual spot in a good location for sightseeing.

  • 4/5 Shanaka A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service and calming atmosphere. Great service from Tuan and the team. To top it all up, they've got the best happy hour deals in town 🍻 Note - options on the new food menu is not that great, personally prefer the older menu.

  • 5/5 Edward Taylor (. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar staff, old pub atmosphere (could almost have been back in a old school pub in UK) and good drinks selection

  • 4/5 Suharda S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is great, the prices are fair. *But!* the place is tiny (i.e., not much space) so the band sounds too loud and quite uncomfortable.

  • 5/5 KayTV 1 year ago on Google
    Had a couple of drinks during happy hour, they were great. The service too! Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Thilina Dayarathna (Thilina S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lasintha De C. 3 years ago on Google
    No Restrictions, just enjoy the way you like it!!!

  • 4/5 Shane S. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice place with good ambience. Some good bands play here. Gets a bit crowded after 7. Since the music is loud there is difficulty in communicating with friends and need to shout. But it's not considered as a huge issue due to the good music and ambience. Dishes are tasty although I'm still to experience the special dish just good only at Inn on the Green. Will recommend and will visit frequently.

    I must say, second time I have experienced that when you request for shots on popular brands , they change brand, last night I requested for double black, but it tasted Ballantine very sad , food also not worth for the price

    Good place to hang out and have a drink. Live music is always good. Removing the smoking area is bit of an inconvenience because you have to go outside to smoke now.

  • 5/5 Duleepa B. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice cozy place for a casual hangout... Can be a bit TOO noisy with the band though

  • 3/5 Thilina G. 4 years ago on Google
    Their happy hour runs from 5.30pm to 7.30. Decent food portions. It was a bit loud for me.

  • 5/5 Kanishka A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Malki T. 3 years ago on Google
    Good value for money. One of the favourite pubs around. Happy hours are usually from 5.00 - 7.30pm and 10.00 - 11.00pm. There margaritas are definitely my favourite. Also we tried their signature cocktails and mojito. Everything was good and worth the price including side dishes

  • 5/5 Amaashie M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favourite places in Colombo whether it's for a night out with friends (when there's a live music) or a solo night after work. It's quite safe with a nice staff. Perfect location at the center of the city. One of the cozy bars you can find here

  • 5/5 Dhanusha M. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are looking for a place with a live band playing great rock tunes in Colombo to hangout and have a drink in the evening, this is the place! Mostly crowded with office staff in the evenings, gathered around tables singing-along. Of course you get to request your favouring songs from the band to play. This is a noisy and fun place to really release your stress and have a great evening. Great food and drinks. Run by Gallface Hotel.

  • 5/5 Nishika S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to have a drink with your mates and to enjoy some awesome live music. The band there is super duper. The prices are reasonable as well, highly recommended

  • 5/5 Natasha A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great music, great drinks and great food! Had a wonderful time there! Have separate booths for smokers and non-smokers as well.
