👍👍 Probably the hippest little find you'll stumble into in all of Colombo. A hidden speakeasy disguised as a coffee roaster, once inside you'll be blown away by the artisan cocktails and scrumptious food. Dress up a bit to put yourself in the mind space for this special date night spot. :) People often mention cocktails, cocktail,

    Excellent. This is a quality spot in Colombo. They have some fantastic cocktails, with unique creations. Recommend the 1sri1 if you like an Old Fashion and would like to taste an Arrak equivalent. The food was spot on and the service staff were on point. The live DJ was a nice touch and added atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit and an evening out.

    Truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped inside were immediately impressed by the stunningly designed interior and sureal atmosphere of this place. The staff's level of service is ahead of the game. Between our group we tasted about 75% of the huge uniquely house crafted cocktail list and absolutely superb was the unanimous verdict by all. Also to note was the barrel aged Arrack. We indulged in many of the fabulous dishes here and I must say this chef may be one of the best in the country. Without a doubt the best steak I've had so far in Sri Lanka. Music was spot on and set a fabulous mood throughout the entire evening. If you are looking to impress someone or even a group then this is definitely the place of choice. Hats off to you guys!

    Amazing restaurant in a cool space. Delicious food. Great hand-crafted cocktails and an excellent, knowledgeable bar staff. Friendly servers. Highly recommended. We went here while on holidays from Sydney, Australia, and this place is as good as many of our favourite restaurants and bars back home.

    We dined here on our last night in Colombo after a 2 week holiday around Sri Lanka and it ticked every single box. Without a doubt one of the best dining experiences during our entire stay. The atmosphere and ambience were incredible- has a wow factor as you first enter and feels warm and inviting as you settle in for a night of delicious food and cocktails. We ordered the steak and the ricotta gnocchi which were both perfectly executed. It was the Lolita cocktail that really impressed- without a doubt the most well balanced, delicious cocktail I have ever tasted.

    Superb food and cocktails ! The interior is nice and cosy. The DJ is playing in the corner which is just enough and not too overpowering to enjoy a nice dinner. I ordered the Sea Bass and it was perfect cooked. The waiter recommended the "Galapita" cocktail with a fruity base and it was just amazing! Not too strong so it is my kinda cocktail. Also the appetizers we ordered were also quite nice. The staff is super friendly and professional. On top of all, everything is priced reasonably compared to other similar grade restaurants in Colombo City. So highly recommend any local or foreign visitors to check this place if you want to have a great dining experience. Will definitely go back !

    Very private, small and cozy place. Good for drinks and food. Cocktails are unique and a full menu explaining each one of them. Very friendly staff, making this place great for a night out!

    Just go!! One of best bars I’ve been to in the world - you walk through the coffee shop. Speakeasy but smart. SO make sure you’re appropriately dressed as it is smart (they do have nice cover ups if you’re not!). Super cocktails, great moody lighting, perfect. They need to fix air con in bathrooms and make the lighting softer and then it’ll be complete London Mayfair experience. Great selection of spirits.

😐 I had high hopes on this place while everyday I pass this place to and from work. Today I happened to attend something in the morning without having breakfast. On my way back home I hopped in here for late ( very late) breakfast. Place is so charming. Neat and lovely. But the staff is not warm and f...

👍 The cafe on the 5th is a great place to hang out with friends or family. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the food is delicious.

👍 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...
