    Nice environment. Tasty foods. Friendly customer service. Only Forign liquor allowed from outside. Inside they have a bar and it has everything u need. Cocage fee needs to pay outside bottles. Little bit expensive but worth it

    A great place to chillout with your friends. Food quality is more than good. I went there on a Thursday night and the live band performance was outstanding. Service of the staff is nice and accomodating. Only problem was the parking and we had to wait almost an hour to get our car moving. Overall i recommend the place for food, drinks and the music. Enjoy. Cheers.. 🤘

    Best place to hang out in the area. Live music by Chakra on Thursdays and Saturdays attract more crowd. Good food and excellent service by friendly staff. Pre booking is advised for better seating.

    Probably the oldest pub in the area, but still in the lead when it comes to good music, tasty food and affordable prices. Been here multiple times since it's close to my home and never had any bad experience 😃 wish you guys all the best.

    We always patronised this place for after office drink ups. Food is great and they do allow you to bring in foreign liquor and they will wave off the corkage if your food bill hits over a considerable amount, which is fair. The service may take a bit of time on the weekends if there is a crowd but that too is negligible. Best to be there early if it's weekends if not you may not have a table.

    Highly recomended -Fish with kochchi sauce. Cocktails are available for fair prices. However the barman was not there on the day I visited the place(Sunday night). So they could not provide the cocktails ordered.

  • 3/5 Shanika E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere with good old sinhala music. Food was worthless. Ordered a mix noodles, only meat it had was meatballs.

  • 3/5 Rukshan M. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was too spicy despite that we specifically told them to make it less spicy as we had our son who does not eat spicy food. Food was average in taste but generous in size . Since this is a watering hole cannot blame them for making the food spicy but should have attend to our request. Ambience was great with good music.

  • 1/5 Nirash G. 10 months ago on Google
    Hot butter cuttlefish tasted like papadam and got some pork and that was half cooked. Staff were nice but food was horrible.

  • 5/5 Channa J. 4 months ago on Google
    Podium Sports Restaurant is the best pub in town! The food has consistently been delicious every time I’ve visited. While the music bands on Thursdays to Saturdays have had some fluctuations, my last experience with the band was great. The staff always goes above and beyond for the customers. Just a heads up, the restaurant is usually packed, so be sure to book your table early!

  • 3/5 Niroshan B. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is good for an evening gathering. However, there is not enough space inside the premises. It's very compact and noisy when it is crowded. Especially on Friday nights. The outside tables are calm and quiet. Food and service is good. There is a music band playing on some days such as Saturdays. Parking gets full but you can park the vehicles outside the parking area, on a bare land. Better you make a reservation before you go on busy days.

  • 5/5 Ralston D. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Vidura L. 3 years ago on Google
    This a great place to hang out with friends. Venue can also be booked for functions. We had one of our friends bachelor party here. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Has to specially mention Mr Bala, who has been a great help in organizing the function. We originally booked the venue till midnight, but the staff allow us to continue till nearly three in the morning. They were really accommodating and cooperative in everything. Highly recommend this location.

    I would say I am a regular customer of theirs, after every match at Austasia we make it a point to drop in for a meal or a snack, their Fish Tempura is a must, and the seafood rice/noodle, also the smoothies and drinks, lovely
