    This is the most disgusted incident we did ever faced in a liquor store. one of my friends and our boss went there to have some quality time after a long & tired day. We ordered half a bottle of Vodka because we're so tired and it is way past midnight. but our waiter served us a Vodka with mixed iced water clearly. right from the go, we got the cue about something suspicious going on. the waiter didn't care about us that much either. we did address the issue with the Bartender and manager They obviously rejected the accusation made by us. and we didn't expect something like that in a place like this. our mode was ruined and we didn't recommended this place to any one. but initially they must have felt some guilt and they offered us three shots as complements, but we rejected it. we did not make a scene but this is not what we expected at all. Even after buying half a bottle of vodka costing more that 15K and bites and nearly costing 4k, the bill was just 14k. how abt that? 🥴👎👎👎

    Long bar is actually stunning place to grab a drink and have fun. Side dishes are very good but bit expensive. If you go during happy hour, you can buy beers at 50% off. And also it got nice environment and friendly staff.

    Food is alright. Nothing to complain. Not top notch either. But average is good. Service is best. Atmosphere on Thursday is bleak and only a handful of patrons. But most of the time a live band is there and you get them to yourself on that kind of days.

    The long bar has very good drinks. Cocktails are very fresh and don't have an artificial taste. Their food menu can be a little bit improved. There are not many choices

    Great atmosphere with a nice setup, good food and friendly staff. The cocktails are very good. Look out for happy hour and other great offers. Live bands play on days nearing the weekend. Recommended to make a reservation before going on busy days. Overall a very good pub in Colombo to relax, enjoy with your friends and rock on to the live bands.

    I recently visited Long Bar in Colombo, Sri Lanka and had a great time. The location is perfect, as it's close to many popular tourist attractions. The bar itself is spacious and has a great atmosphere, with good music playing in the background. The food was okay, but not particularly noteworthy. However, the drinks were good and the prices were reasonable. The parking situation was also convenient, as there was enough space for all of the patrons. Overall, I would recommend Long Bar for a casual night out.

    This has been our go-to place for parties, dinners, or any other special events that we wanted to celebrate. We have been constants at this place for many years and they met our expectations all the time. They always have some amazing bands playing, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Not to forget the delicious food and beverages that are absolutely worth your money. I especially want to mention Amal, who treats us very well every time we visit, and he showed top-notch hospitality. Highly recommend this place for all of your hangouts.

    Nice bar to enjoy some drinks with friends. Make a reservation if you're going on a Friday or Saturday night. If you like rock music, there's a superb band playing on Friday nights.

  • 3/5 Erandi G. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is having quite charming vibe to have a hangout. Food portions are average and well tasty. However customer service needed to be improved, because it took long time to serve some food portions even they had average crowd. Staff should more focus and responsible on the customers. And should definitely control the sound level of the music because the area is almost covered and the reflection of the massive sound quite disturbing people who seated inside. Please make sure to balance the music with the help of band or dj who performed on that day.

  • 5/5 Thinasha M. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best bars I’ve visited in Colombo. Good location, good food, good crowd, good cocktails and last but not least, amazing happy hour options. Drinks, specially cocktails actually have more alcohol than you expect and that’s a definite yes to this venue. Both outdoor and indoor seating is available and the bar is magnificent. Staff is very helpful and the prices are on point. A perfect night out whether it’s just a random hangout with the mates or a one filled with music is guaranteed on weekends. The hot butter mushrooms are to die for.

    I loved my experience at the Long Bar. An amazing band plays every Friday & Saturday. A cosy pug/bar to hangout with friends. They give Tabs as their menue cards but it doesn't have a single picture of any of the menu items. Bit disappointed for a luxury hotel like that to miss that.

  • 5/5 Tharindu W. 3 years ago on Google
    Place was excellent. We went on a Friday night and it was crowded. We didnt get a table. So the advice is, to reserve one before you go. You are allowed to smoke outside. Beer, Liquor and cocktails are all served. Cocktails were great. A bit expensive than average. Great and live music starts at 9pm. It was the band Infinity that played on the day we went. Overall a must visit place.

    Great place to hanging with friends and drink . They have good shooter which we tried lot

  • 4/5 nirmal nimantha s. 1 year ago on Google
    There is a big parking space. Happy hour is 5-7 pm. But there are no any draught beers. Only bottles. Food portions were average. But you must try their hot butter mushroom. It was heavenly. Not so crowded but when we were going to make a reservation Mr.Asanka said that it was already fully booked in 2 days which was questionable 😂 before we made a reservation finally. Music band is average. They have charged a VAT additional to their service charge. Total experience was okay.

  • 5/5 WDR K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place. Good customer service. Tasty foods. Definitely you will be having a fun inside the bar. Music, nice ladies, handsome boys. Lot more

  • 2/5 Marlon R. 1 year ago on Google
    Was totally disappointed with the service. Not only the food gets delayed for like over 45mins but even to get just one drink (a 50ml shot) it takes them at least 15mins. Takes even more time to get the attention of a waiter. We had to walk up to them many times to give our next order.

  • 1/5 Chrishan P. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm from Germany and they expect me to wear long pants and shoes at over 30°C without mentioning anything about that on their website. We even called ahead to book a table and were not told about. Happy to drive home again because there is so much fuel to go around these days.

  • 5/5 Thiwanka P. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a nice place. We enjoyed a lot. The band is so energetic and we sang with them. What an exciting evening. Note: most of the foods/ liquor items are not available in the menu.

  • 5/5 Samithri K. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to chill and have fun with your loved ones!

  • 5/5 Supuni De S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food, nice ambience. Overall a very chill place. Their hot butter cuttlefish is amazing hence we ordered it twice. The buffalo wings did not look or taste like buffalo wings at all though. 50% on signature cocktails and local beer during happy hour (5-7)

  • 5/5 Damindu J. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to live music 🎶 Friendly staff

  • 4/5 Lakshith M. 3 years ago on Google
    We loved it. They always have a goog band on Friday and Saturday nights so .. yeah. It's good. But the food portions are really small for the price but then again you don't really go there for the food.

  • 2/5 Mahela M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, good portion sizes but very poor service. Waiters almost ignored us and have no sense of politeness while serving. It feels like patronising the bar / restaurant is a nuisance to them. However, good was delivered promptly and the place has a nice atmosphere

  • 5/5 Kisal Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to hangout with friends. Live music at night. Good food and drinks, cocktails selection.

  • 4/5 Manula W. 9 months ago on Google
    It's a great place to hangout with your friends for a few drinks with a really nice ambience. There's no service afaik as everything is self-ordered by the customers. The experience is even better when there's a band playing on the mini stage. 4/5.

  • 5/5 Dhameshi P. 1 year ago on Google
    It was absolutely one favorite Friday night and had a fabulous evening! Special thanks goes to Nishan who made us feel comfortable when selecting foods and beverages. Appreciate the ambiance, gesture and the professionalism. Kudos to the team Long Bar! The food we ordered was really tasted and we all loved it! Keep up the excellent customer service and standards to the next level. Highly recommended this place and we will definitely pop up in here again soon!

  • 5/5 Arjuna De A. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, the band performing tonight "Backline" plays some excellent music. The selection of food is varied and good; well presented. Ensure that you make a reservation on weekends.

  • 5/5 Vindya S. 3 years ago on Google
    Ideal place for a date. Very cozy environment, better avoid Fridays as it's crowded. Food is reasonably priced and good portion sizes.

  • 4/5 Senira S. 1 year ago on Google
    Chilled and cozy during weekdays over crowded and noisy on weekends. Either way its a good place for wine. The sides menu can add a bit more into filling stuff. The hot butter cuttlefish is gold!

  • 4/5 Chanakya R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food. Good vibes. Staff could improve more on customer service.

  • 3/5 Hansi A. 3 years ago on Google
    Ambience is very nice here as it is located overlooking a beautiful scenery. Food was tasty. Loved the pizza. But the cocktails weren’t that good plus they take too much time to proceed with orders even when there aren’t many customers. Beverages here are bit pricy. Service is not very satisfactory.

  • 5/5 Kasun H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Michael K. 3 years ago on Google
    Pleasant ambience to come down and relax for a drink with a friend. They have live music on certain days of the week. They give you a tablet in which they have the digital F&B menu.

  • 2/5 Nuwan G. 3 years ago on Google
    Boring place! on a saturday evening no any sort of music util 9 pm. They could eaily have played some chillout music till the band start at 9:15. Being said that the hot butter prawn dish i ordered came late and too salty. Doubt i would come here again for a chill vibe. No fans outside, hot and dozen of mosquitos.

  • 3/5 Ash 3 years ago on Google
    Tried their Maitai and SOB. It took around 15 minutes for us to get our drinks even though it wasn't a busy evening. My SOB tasted more like a strong sun quick orange juice. I didn't taste any vodka at all. I got a headache after finishing the cocktail 😂 the Mai Tai was all pineapple juice. They have diluted our drinks way too much and their cocktails are pretty expensive. Wouldn't recommend anyone to try their cocktails. Just buy anything which comes in a bottle or a can 🤷‍♀️
