  • 5/5 Dulitha R. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice bar but not so much of a posh environment. They serve good bits but you can't have rice items there. But they serve all other items like cheese omlet, pork, fish, beef etc. They charge bit of a service charge there so you don't need to pay a tip. Can visit and have a little drink on a weekday with your buds and have a good time. Service is very good waiters are friendly. If you are a military personnel you can have discounts here. They don't entertain shorts so please don't wear if you are going to have a drink here

    Clean, reasonably priced, quick & friendly service, crowded even middle of the week. Good for quick or affordable boys or men evening hangout or even along beer time.

    Budget place for a quick beer or even some hard liquor. Usually crowded on Fridays. But manageable in other days.. low end bar, with decent atmosphere... Highly recommended for a drink on the way....

    The old X!!! Cheap drinks and food all round :) attracts office folks from around the fort area. No females have ever been sighted within the X :) not the cleanliest of places. The rest room is a disaster! The service level is directly proportionate to the number of waiters that you're on good terms with :) But a cheaper drinking hole has yet to be found.

  • 4/5 Risitha W. 9 months ago on Google
    Could you please mention your open / close time.

  • 4/5 Sathilka D. 5 months ago on Google
    Really reasonable prices and still delicious food. The staff is really friendly and well-behaved, and they always greet you with a grin. You have a lot of room. Inside, the place doesn't appear pleasant. Very little view. However, it is not an unpleasant or nasty location. There is no music available. Evenings can be a bit noisy and crowded (as in many pubs and bars), but I haven't seen any girls there. Therefore, if you have girls in your group, avoid. It is highly advised if you have a limited budget but still want to enjoy alcohol with delicious food. I have recommended this place to many friends and non got dissapointed.

  • 4/5 Yohan F. 2 years ago on Google

👍 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...

👍 I recently visited this restaurant 🏏 and I must say, the dishes were quite delicious. However, I couldn't help but feel that the prices were a bit on the higher side. Nevertheless, the place is a great spot if you're looking for a good selection of beer, cocktails, and other liquors. The waiter w...
