No 112, New Buller's Road,
Colombo 05, Sri Lanka.
Mawby's is the latest addition to Colombo's evergrowing pub culture. It has a country and western theme. This is a chilled out pub and cafe designed with a 21st century feel but definitely not minimalist. In addition to the usual well-stocked bar, the pub also features a large screen where you can watch some of the greatest musicians and artistes in concert. And if you're the sort of person who worships comfort, then you'll be glad to know that Hippos has the comfiest sofas in town.

The Library offers class and style. The Library is exactly that ? a library by day and a club at night. It is not as hysterical and frantic as the Blue Elephant.

The most popular theme bar in town. The ambience breathes cricket with memorabilia, videos, and framed international shirts and is popular with cricket lovers and non-cricket clients alike.

:: Clany's - Pub & Restaurant
29, Maitland Crescent, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka.
If 21st century styling and large screens are not your forte, and you want a more traditional pub with live bands, then Clancy's is the place for you. Clancy's is located at No. 29 Maitland Crescent, Colombo 7, and is as typical as bars and pubs get. Great prices, bands playing sing-a-long songs and crowds of people having a really great time is probably the best way to sum up Colombo's classic pub. But pubs aren't the only entertainment that Colombo has to offer. If you're the sort of person who likes to shake a leg and dance the night away then Colombo has got just the thing for you.

:: White Horse
2 Navam Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka.
Tel:+94 2304922
The White Horse has a long history. The new re-located White Horse has a more modern feel but the clientele remains young and lively, fuelled by inexpensive drinks and the excitement of a long night out. Gets very busy over the weekend when the crowd spills out onto the street. Quiet and moody during the week ? ideal for a private beer.
:: Inn on the Green
Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka.
Tel:+94 2239440
A traditional English bar, leased from the Galle Face Hotel, Inn On The Green offers the only draught bitter in town as well as an impressive selection of imported beers. Walkers crisps also make a surprise appearance, but they burn a hole in your pocket. Despite being themed as an English Pub- it has avoided becoming a haven for expatriate bores and is well-worth a visit. The food has less to commend it.
