    ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ After travelling Sri Lanka for some months, my family came to visit me! I actually got on a bus that I intended to go elsewhere, however, I ended up in Mount Lavinia and this was the place I decided to stay last minute! ๐Ÿ˜ Happy that the place found me as I enjoyed my stay here! A very spacious, clean and well priced room.The entrance is super cool too! I loved the balcony and the fact it had air conditioning, a large, comfy bed, hot water, kettle and small desk! Really great for me :) ๐Ÿ“ข It was a little loud as its on a busy road, I have earplugs so wasn't too disturbing and mostly out of the hotels control. โค๏ธ What made the experience even better was the staff, from the time I checked in, to the time I left, I was treated with kindness and amazing hospitality. Prashan gave me contact details and told me to message him if I wanted help with anything, great service. I checked out a little late and there was no fees which I am grateful for and furthermore appreciative of the help they gave me assistance to get a bus back into Colombo. I am forever grateful for the kindness and love at this hotel. ๐Ÿ™ Much love and many blessings. Ayubowan โค๏ธ

    Cocktails are really good and unique, Food is great and service can improve. There are few cats roaming in the bar, do not feed them as they will bug you asking for more.

    Awesome place to hang out. I loved the atmosphere. My friend stayed there for a week and their rooms were good. The food is awesome, especially the Seafood Chopseu Rice.

    The Lion Pub is the best place to chill in town. Great offers and deals on liquor and beer. Love their food taste. They take long time to make food but its totally worth it. Hint: dont order thai items, its not great. Hot butter mushroom was so perfect, highly recommended. They dont have fresh juices (only like juice) or mocktails so if you dont drink, youll be limited to carbonated beverages and water. The basement has a air conditioning room and the ground floor is open air concept. Limited parking space. Recommended for small groups. Decent pricing.

    Today we visited Lion Pub, Mt.Lavinia. Quite a nice place and ideal to have a chill out with friends. They have a decent menu. Food and drinks are on spot. We loved their pizza very much. There was a very friendly serving personnel named Baskaran who warmly served us and help us to have a good time there. Recommend this place to everyone around. Really appreciate the excellent service and thumbs up to Lion Pub. Cheers!

    We loved this place and their BBQ Buffalo wings.The service was good too. However , I didnt like the fish and chip much (not recommended ). Try the chicken and chips instead . That was tasty.

    It took about 20 mins to someone to come down stairs seating area. We ordered pizza from the next door. Food was great. Went for lunch and it was not that busy. Beer pitch could have been more colder.

    This is the ideal place to hangout with your friends while sipping a ๐Ÿบ around Mountlavinia . Very calm and nice place specially at evenings. I usually go there with my friends whenever I want to hangout with them. Food is also really good and if you go there do not forget to try Hot butter cuttlefish dish ๐Ÿ”ฅ Prices are also reasonable.Staff is very friendly and helpful. Specially I would like to appreciate Pathum for his extraordinary service โค๏ธ. Only thing is they will take like 20 minutes to serve the food. So if it's not an issue for you, then definitely this is the place!

  • 3/5 Thari M. 4 months ago on Google โ€ข 31 reviews
    Went there after a so many years just to relive the memories but left with nothing but disappointment. Tap beer was flat and the signature hot battered cuttlefish was nothing but "rodu". When my mate, who was a regular there mentioned about the flat beer to one of the waiting staff (Chithral), all he had to show was his smile!! He obviously couldn't do nothing much but the quality of food should be up to par!! Will NEVER go here again. EVER!!

    Good food. Good service. Reasonable prices. I prefer the outside seating area compared to the indoor area because the indoor seating arrangement is too compact. You can order from Arthur's pizza menu as well. Don't forget to try their kochchi chilli sauce.

    We visited the hotel few years back, and they had very good range of bites. Especially the garlic fried crab was Supiri!!! But when we visited the place again after an year, just before few months they have changed a lot, and the menu has been shorten - And they now have only the typical bites that other pubs have. :( And the staffs were not much friendly too! There were many cats roaming around the tables down, and it was bit uneasy to have the meals and enjoy the time :(

    Worst service ever! This used to be a great place, but now has really gone down in service. Ordered food and took over an hour. They came back one hour later and said they didnโ€™t have what we had ordered. Sad to see such a good location gone to ruins. The Mannager was clueless on whatโ€™s available in the restaurant, and not even an apology for the lack of service.

    Wonderful, historic bar with old colonial ambience and atmosphere. Marvellous collection of photographs of famous visitors over the years.

    Just grab a Ceylon arrack on the rock with deep fried cassava chips and you're set for an evening unlike any other. Visit around 0500 pm and during this time can be crowded but good ambience. Wait for the unique flag folding ceremony which they do every day irrespective of the weather.

    Three of us went for drinks and food on 31/01/2020. Service was incredibly slow. Drinks were watered down. They didn't have some of the items on the menu - we went to have the pink grapefruit margarita and this was not available. There were no paper serviettes to wipe our hands. There was no light on our table so after sunset it got very dark. We thought of ordering more cocktails and got the menu a second time but in the end we decided to leave because we were tired of waiting for someone to take our order. When we called for the bill they said there is a problem with the system and that this too will take time. Absolutely disappointing and frustrating.

    Extremely bad service and extremely bad food. Cutomer service was so bad that they took 1 hour to bring a glass of water and the food had no taste. The waiters were rude, had no sense of respect and courtesy towards customers.

    It's a very casual pub for meetups and have a drink at Friday night. Food is delicious and prices are fair. Location is excellent as it's located in the Galle Road, Mt. Lavania. Has both indoor and outdoor seating arrangements and you can watch the game on the big screen whenever there's one. Can recommend with 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Vachintha P. 3 years ago on Google
    This is one of the oldest pubs in Mt. Lavinia that runs back to over 3 decades. Over time, it has become a prominent venue amongst most of the locals and even foreigners. Their iconic Lion structure at the entrance has become a landmark in the area. They serve a range of Chinese dishes that are well alinlgned with the Sri Lankan taste pallet. All of them are absolutely delicious and great in quality. They also serve a range of alcohol beverages. Prices seems reasonable. Staff is attentive, helpful and extends a great service. Certainly a place that deserves a 5 star rating and a revisit.

  • 5/5 Shamal W. 3 years ago on Google
    This is our favorite restaurant in the Mount Lavinia. The food is always excellent, and we are always satisfied with my dinner, regardless of what we order! Also excellent are the servers, who are always effective, cheerful, and courteous.

    This is one of my favorite pubs in Cmb. Always filled with good people with good vibes. Place is clean and tidy aand offers a huge variety of food options to Satisfy your tastebuds. Rice options to Hot butter cuttlefish, food here is reasonably priced and filled with flavor. And most importantly potion sizes are really good. Even the rice ad curry can be shared with two people. -Hot batter mushrooms -Nasigoreng -Fried Rice are some of the most highlighted dishes here.

    Worst place to go best place to ruin your time and money... Absolute garbage place. They treat you like a piece of s#it. I am not going here anymore in my life time, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone

    This is recently opened sport bar located at lions pub basement. This is perfect place for sport lovers to checkin to see there team perform while having sip of beer and tasty foods. The prices are very reasonable and one of the best places in Colombo to hangout with your friends.

  • 4/5 Bineth T L. 2 years ago on Google
    Liquor available. Parking available but please go there before 6pm to book a good place and parking. previously They had 8.8% beer tower but last week they havent. That is a good option for the beer lovers for a reasonable price. Not only friends, family outing option is also available. Somewhat expensive. But near mount area, this is a good option

    On the 4th of December ordered cuttlefish and chicken set menue. The cuttlefish was soggy and felt as if it was just microwaved after bn cooked days earlier. Called the place and the chef admitted that they were not fresh (which I have on recording). The delivery was done if I'm correct after an hour although it was promised to be sent within 30min and by the time the food arrived it was all cold. Bcz I did not have the time to wait for them to send a fresh portion of cuttlefish they agreed to offer me the same when I made my next order. Today ordered the same. But I had to explain to THREE different ppl about what I was promised (also got on recording). It was humiliating to keep on explaining. The last person I spoke to said they will send the food but was quite rude and cut the line while I was talking. Finally the food did arrive this time within 30min as promised BUT the cuttlefish was still not fresh, it was just refried. It was disgustingly oily too. The chicken set menu was poorly packed (got pictures), , it wasn't closed properly, chopsuey was basically large chunks of cabbage and it tasted horrible. I lost my appetite the moment I saw how it was packed. My mother who had some of the cuttlefish and the fried rice got sick after eating cz it was so oily and the food did taste very fresh. Ive decided never to buy from u again n need to see some accountability for such poor service. At least a call from the manager.

  • 4/5 Mahasen B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent location to hangout, have a drink and enjoy great food. Have both outdoor and indoor seating, airconditioned as well as non-airconditioned spaces. Serves all kinds of liquor including cocktails at reasonable prices. Food includes the usual bar food including seafood, pork chicken etc. However, they don't serve beef. You can also order pizz from Arthur's pizzaria nextdoor, which is another business owned by the same management. If you drive there, on premise parking is quite limited.

  • 3/5 Lalinda D. 1 year ago on Google
    Got both indoor and outdoor dining. Seems like the waiter in the outdoor dining area prefers those who drink. I was asked to go inside when I asked him about the waiting time. Usually, there is a long waiting time to order and get food. Limited parking.

  • 1/5 Devasagayam G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointing, waited for more than 20 minutes, no one came to get the order, we reached the kitchen and asked for a waiter/server, they were not even bothered to respond us, and then went to a server who was serving another table in the front area, and his responded as if we came to drink in his money! He was just saying 'no' to almost everything we asked. No beer bottles, No chicken dishes, No staff to serve, finally left the place with disappointment. Worse experience. Didn't expect this at all after being a regular customer to Lion Pub!

  • 4/5 Nipun F. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to chill and have few drinks with buddies from work (quite a peaceful environment). Food quality is also relatively good overall, but have noticed a bit of a quality drop over time (particularly with the Hot Butter Cuttlefish dish). General customer service is OK, but also could improve (as there are relative delays from the team on getting things done). However in my last visit, 'Chanuka' (an employee at LIONS Restaurant - Mount Lavinia) showed to be a very professional and dedicated individual, who delivered a good customer service. Overall would recommend the place to folks looking to have a relaxing time with friends.

  • 4/5 Samiddhi G. 1 year ago on Google

    Amazing pub with a super fun and sporty vibes. Their service was pleasantly surprisingly quick. The variety of beers is a little bit limited, but they kaie it up with cozy and fun atmosphere, fast service, and top of the notch food. We were served by Chanuka, who was friendly and prompt too.

    Good bar and restaurant. Prices about double from what you see in the pics from 3yrs ago which is to be expected given worldwide inflation. Friendly helpful staff, particularly Chandru who I enjoyed chatting to and gave great service. Little quiet for a Friday night late Jan 2023 but still worth a visit.

    The Lion Pub is a great place to relax and enjoy a quiet dinner. The food is delicious, and the beer garden at the back is a great place to enjoy a cold beer.

    FOOD POISONING BEWARE!! I am currently have food poisoning after eating the cuttlefish from this place. I will never be returning to this place as they are selling old food for delivery. I thought I was going to pass away, how can this be legal?

    This hotel is situated in Dehiwala Mount Lavania. We stayed for one night. But we felt very uncomfortable. Specially clean is very poor. Washrooms very worst. I didn't use washrooms. Nothing is cleaned. Room floor is so dusty. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone.

  • 5/5 manjula j. 8 months ago on Google
    Walked in for dinner in a Wednesday night at the bar. The bartender, yasuru he was quick, efficient and friendly. he helped recommend something for my dinner and the chicken biriyani didnโ€™t disappoint! I even returned the next afternoon for lunch and got similar service! It was a gem I found and canโ€™t wait to return next year- I just hope yasuru is still bartending then!

  • 1/5 Salinda C. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was mediocre, But what really made me angry was the 25% service charge added to the bill. I don't mind tipping for good service, but I don't think it's fair to be forced to pay a service charge when the service is subpar. I will not be returning to this restaurant.

  • 1/5 Shalini S. 8 months ago on Google
    Very Bad service. They donโ€™t tell us the exact prices. Their menu has a different price and they change the prices when billing. They charge 25% extra and thatโ€™s so unfair. Never ever visit this place for anything. Nobody recommend this place. Beware of their lies everyone!

    I recently had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff, especially Fasir, provided exceptional service throughout my visit. The room was immaculate with modern decor and a breathtaking city view. The amenities were top-notch. The on-site dining was a culinary delight. I appreciated the hotel's commitment to sustainability. Conveniently located, I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be returning on my next visit!
