πŸ‘ Taphouse.. a wannabe beer hall, although it didn't quite make it, it's the closest thing you'll get along the west coast to one. Actually quite reasonably priced and there's lots of food choices too. They've got pitchers or you can go for a beer tower - if you're really thirsty. I had some calamari...

    Taphouse.. a wannabe beer hall, although it didn't quite make it, it's the closest thing you'll get along the west coast to one. Actually quite reasonably priced and there's lots of food choices too. They've got pitchers or you can go for a beer tower - if you're really thirsty. I had some calamari as a snack and it was pretty good.. most of the food is catering for a beer crowd. Situated on the old Dutch hospital, there's a few places around this building to hang out.

    Tap House by Trio in Galle is a fantastic establishment where you can enjoy a drink while basking in the outdoors. The outdoor seating area provides a pleasant ambiance, perfect for unwinding and savoring your beverage. If you prefer indoor seating, the lovely wooden seating arrangements create a cozy atmosphere. The customer service at Tap House by Trio is top-notch. The staff is attentive and ensures that your needs are met with a friendly attitude. As for the food, it does not disappoint. The Crumbs fried cuttlefish is a standout, delivering a burst of flavor that is truly delightful. Don't miss out on the Chicken popcorn either, as it is a must-try item on the menu. The overall atmosphere of the place is relaxing, allowing you to unwind and enjoy your time. The prices are reasonable, making it a great choice for those seeking quality food and drinks without breaking the bank. Whether you're looking for a casual hangout spot or a place to socialize, Tap House by Trio is definitely worth a visit

    As expected, the food and service lives upto expectations. Tried some of the shakes, cocktails and mock tails and they were delicious. Food took some time to arrive but the wait was worth it as they were filling and tasty. Prices are relatively cheap compared to other eateries and bars at Galle fort, therefore gets good value for money. Perfect to chill out with a cold beer on a hot day as they have both indoor and outdoor seating.

    A rather expensive place for a drink, but the whiskey sours were good and the beer ice cold. The deep fried cashew nuts with garlic and curry leaves are truly delicious, again expensive but worth every Rupee

    First time in Taphouse and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The deviled pork dish with beer is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service I received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made me feel welcomed and gave me an amazing experience.

    Amaazing food! The whole experience from start to finish is great. The food can’t get better and the prices are fair for the portion size. Always a great spot to get great food. Legitimately the best restaurant around Galle. Doesn’t matter what we got we end up liking it. The food at Taphouse is exceptional better than 5 star Hotels! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. We can love the service at the place and the chef and the people is so friendly with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.

    Great place that keeps well up to the standards of their Colombo branch. They serve a wide range of food and beverages at moderate rates. Staff is professional, helpful and provides a good customer service. Nice and spacious ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating facilities. Food is okay, but needs improvement.

    Nice spot for a drink. Whisky sour was good and a reasonable price. We left our bag at the table with our bank card and the money we’d just withdrawn. They kept it in the safe until we returned. Very grateful. And representative of the people we’ve met in Sri Lanka who go out of their way to help you. Thank you so much πŸ™

    This was a decent dinner experience, but not one of our favorite meals in Galle. I ordered pork chops and got a few pork ribs, I ordered a beer (it’s a tap house, after all) and they said they only had small cans (but they have a TAP), and unlike most other restaurants in the area, they add 10% service charges AND tax onto the total, whereas you usually just pay the price on the menu. The food wasn’t bad, but you can get a much better experience at Pedlar’s Cafe or some other place nearby.

    We were pleasantly surprised. Often been there in the past. Food used to be at best average. This time it was excellent. Perfectly cooked and really enjoyable, especially the vegetables and mashed potatoes. The young man who served us was brilliant. Exceptional English. Sorry, I did not get his name. We will certainly go back

    I had an exceptional time at this bar with food! The menu offered a delightful selection of dishes, and the quality of the food exceeded my expectations. The drinks were superbly crafted, and the bartenders were both knowledgeable and friendly. The combination of great food, drinks, and a cozy atmosphere made for a memorable evening. I highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for a fantastic dining and drinking experience.

  • 4/5 Karthik V. 6 years ago on Google β€’ 18 reviews
    Nice up-scale place where you can relax for long time with beer. There is ample place inside and outside to relax. The best time is to visit in the evening to enjoy pleasant sea breeze. There are not many vegetarian options though. The food was tasty. We had ordered Chicken Burgers and Pasta cooked in Coconut Milk. The food was delivered relatively quickly. The burgers tasted good and pasta tasted different but tasty. Definitely a recommendable place if one wants to hang-out for longer durations close-by sea.

  • 5/5 Dave W. 4 months ago on Google
    Great place. Warm, friendly staff, and a great selection of drinks. Only are there once, and the food was good. As a place to nip in for a drink during a rain shower or to get out of the sun, it was the best.

  • 2/5 Benjamin B. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 8 reviews New
    We were four people and came for dinner. It took quite long till we could order. Once served the portions are way too small for the price they charge. Burger buns were not toasted and side fries were only a tiny portion of eight fries for each burger. One order was completely missed and came 30 mins after all the other food. Restaurant is in a cool location but this won't make up for the rest. Cannot recommend going there if you wanna have a proper dinner rather than a small snack.

    We came here for lunch. I took calamari dish and it was tasty and spicy (like I order it) πŸ˜‹ Also juices were fresh 😊 Good service. Not fast but not slow either. Reasonable prices πŸ‘

    Scam alert!!! Stay away πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ’©πŸ’© They took an order for seafood item when they didn't have stock.. took 40 minutes for them buy fish from elsewhere and and 40 minutes later raw fish arrived frozen.. lie after lie.. dishonest scammers.. wasted out time and the moment. Btw them scammed us on other items we ordered too.. they charged us Rs 15,600 for 5 club sandwiches and a few beers... Places like this brings bad reputation to Sri Lanka

  • 4/5 Gerrit 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to slam some beers. I also had tagliatelle, which weren't outstanding but definitely totally fine for pub food standards. Otherwise, they mostly serve fried stuff and burgers. Sadly, there weren't many vegetarian options. Reasonably priced in regard of the area. Closing time is 11pm, which seems to be normal in Sri Lanka but still unbelievably early to me.

  • 5/5 Rosemarie P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best pub in Galle to have a drink and to have a good filling meal. Portions are large and drinks are flavorful as well. They have a good variety from beer to cocktails to wine and liquor bottles as well as shots. Price wise it's reasonable with a Lion beer mug costing around LKR 400 approx. The food burst with flavor which is made by their expert chef's and the cocktails will definitely make you want more of it. Overall the best pub in the Fort. Will definitely visit again! πŸ’•

  • 4/5 Steve D. 4 years ago on Google
    Visited on a weekday. Even though this is inside the Galle Fort, you dont have a view of the ocean because its on the lower level. They do have plenty of space inside and tables on the courtyard. The guy who took my order and served was friendly and polite, something that we locals don't experience much. Ordered a chilli cheese fries for my first round of Lion beer, and a Navaratna tagliatelle (vege pasta) for the second round. The chilli cheese had some good potato wedges, but only a little cheese and a couple of beens. The pasta tasted a little too curryish for my taste, but I'm sure the foreigners would love it. Ok place to chill during the middle of the day. The pasta took a while to be made, even though I was the only one there. Service was definitely a plus point.

    My son ( at that time, 19 years old) and I were visiting the dutch fort in Jan 2018 and I came down with a migraine, due to the heat, and the Taphouse was an oasis that saved us. Best crispy chicken sandwiches with lime sodas that cured the headaches!! Very clean bathrooms in the plaza as well!. Thanks and hope to visit again!
