    We were at Nuwara Eliya town walking. And found this place, initially thought the place is for drinks only. Then we asked and there is a restaurant for non-drinkers in the 3rd floor. The food, the vibe are really amazing. We bought a Nasi goreng and a Beef Noodles, and both of them are really delicious. The nasi goreng is out of the world. Most importantly the prices are very affordable. If you are in Nuwara Eliya, definitely check this out. For drinkers too, i think this is a good place.

    Recently dined at this restaurant with a three tiered layout, offering ample space for many guests. But there is no space for parking vehicles.The highlight was their selection of beer, perfectly complementing the meal. The food was excellent, with a variety of delicious options at reasonable prices. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The toilets were clean and maintained properly. Highly recommend it for a dining experience in Nuwara Eliya.

    Located at a busy area of nuwaraeliye town. Has easy access. No separate parking but most of the time you will find road side parking. Food is great. There are many options in the menu and they are in very reasonable rates. We tried biryani and chicken fried rice as take away. Those were in super quality and portion was large. Next day I tried nasigurang but I do not recommend it as it is too spicy. Has a spacious restaurant too. Usually this place is crowded during the evening. Ideal place to have a beer mug in cold climate.

    Just a good old pub with your favorite sports game on, beers and nice service. There are a lot of locals here as well which confirms it must be a good watering hole. Ground and first floor are smoking, top floor is non-smoking. Wouldn't discourage or encourage getting the club sandwich as it doesn't deliver the taste of bacon. The burger is great and the portion of fries might be small but they taste good. If you're looking for a good beer option, try the Grand Blonde!

    Big place, looks like a sports bar. I missed some music. This was the first time I got margherita with red bell pepper and more sauce than cheese. Pizza dough was thick and completely dried inside. This was the smallest pizza that ever existed. It was very sad. However, french fries were amazing, tasted like being homemade not frozen.

    It's the most famous local pub in Nuwara Eliya. Prices are government stated, so it's very cheap, but they only have beer (or did when we were there). They also have food for quite reasonable prices, and, honestly, we didn't even expect it to be so tasty and the portions were big. The third floor is for non smokers, the rest of the area is quite smelly, that's why they usually bring foreigners to the third floor. If you like pubs, especially English style ones, you'll like it here despite it being dirty and noisy, but it's part of the charm.

    We came here to get some Western food. Turns out that the menu is old and they don‘t have western food anymore and also a few other things are not available even though they‘re on the menu. Had fried noodles they were really good. Also huge varity of beers. And it‘s cheap.

    Most people don't know this place has a upstairs family restaurant. Food is responsibly price and great. I had dinner at this place and night time vibe is good.

  • 3/5 Ricardo V. 4 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    the waiter recommended me the beef burger, since it was delicious and big size. I love burgers, so that was an easy catch. let's say a MD happy meal is bigger. the patty was by far smallest I have ever seen

    Great little spot in convenient location Esp if you have a short stay and can't/or don't want to trek too far.. Cold Beer & Shisha; tunes on request ☺️ *Can't add price spent PP.. because, you-know... We stayed to have a 'few' 🤣

    Good quality draft beer at a good price and welcoming to foreigners. A good pub that doesn’t play incessant club style music.

  • 1/5 Tara S. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly disappointed with the "Food TAKEAWAY Section" staff as we came to Pub to place an order to purchase Fried Rice for my kids, but the staff (only 01 was there) was refused to take the order saying; * We have lots of other orders * Don't know whether there is enough rice (ok, then we asked him please go & check whether you have sufficient rice to place our order) still he was neglecting our request. * It is very difficult to handle the orders with only 01 staff. * But there were no single customer at that moment. Ok, if they are unable to handle the orders cause either insufficient staff or either their food is over then they will they should close the outlet. Hence HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED with the Place & wouldn't recommend to anyone.

    Best place in nuwara eliya to hangout with friends, family. Really good staff and spcialy you must try their biriyani.

  • 5/5 Jean Y. 9 months ago on Google
    We had the deviled beef and cuttlefish - be prepared for a spicy kick which we absolutely loved. The Nasi goreng was also superb and perhaps even better than some places at home! Definitely come here for authentic Sri Lankan or Asian food in chill friendly pub atmosphere

    It has a nice vibe inside. Food is awesome and reasonable price. Staff is very kind.

  • 4/5 nik 1 year ago on Google
    Great late night eat and draft beer in the city center, where choices are very limited. The nasi goreng was quite tasty although I was missing the satay chicken and peanut sauce that was described in the menu. Fried rice with vegetable was also good but a bit bland. We also ordered 1/2 chicken which was pretty good as well. The Lion draft tasted a bit more watery than at other places.

    We went on last saturday night for pickup dinner from this place the service of chef is very unprofessional and he act like we asked for something free from their restaurant

  • 5/5 Inusha G. 7 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Great service. Delicious food. All priced at a budget friendly value. We had wine bottle for my wife and a cold beer to myself with chicken sandwiches served with salad and french fries. The sandwiches were totally worth the price and super delicious. After that we had another plate of French fries and a nasiguran rice as take away. The nasiguran was was tasty but the it was just a chicken piece served with 2 prawns and a fried egg. Not that good on my opinion. But the rice was basmathi and tasty. The atmosphere is very loud with people chatting everywhere. You can smoke indoors. Overall its a good restaurant to dine-in with delicious food. No overpricing at all.

  • 4/5 Reginald R. 5 years ago on Google
    Simple, but good and cheap food and beer. Nice place for good and tasty food. The staff is friendly and there is a good mix of locals and tourists enjoying the evening with a beer. The ground floor is very crowded, but we could get a table in the first floor after some minutes.

    This is the best place in town. No Joke. We’ve been here for a couple nights and every night we ended here. Just because the staf was so good. The Food was like crazy good, you should order a burger I really liked the burger. When you travel/visited Nuwara Eliya, you have to try this place. Srsly, trust me.

  • 5/5 Goh Chui M. 5 years ago on Google
    Love the vibe at this pub. Bf and I might just pop back there again tonight! Draft beers are available here and their fried chicken is the best! Go for the whole chicken if you have two person. The pub has three level and we sat at the highest. The waiter was super friendly and efficient and the food came reasonably quick despite the large crowd. Price was reasonable.

    Well, the voice of rap beer is better than in a good half of lanka but could be better anyway. Food is average, prices are good. Didn't find better beer bar here in Nuwara :)

  • 4/5 Arend Jan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to drink a beer and have some food, many places to sit. Third floor is a no smoking area, that was the place for us. Also very fast and friendly staff. Good prices.

  • 5/5 Sanjeev K. 2 years ago on Google
    Chilled place. Cool vibes. Good for friends and family to have a drink and enjoy the cuisine. Be mindful of the crowd situation. Services could be delayed if the crowd is over 75% of the capacity.

  • 5/5 Admir 2 years ago on Google
    Best place we ate in Nuwara Eliya. Food was delicious. We ate Chicken noodles and Deviled chicken which was the best I tasted. It is not overpriced.
