Chic rooftop bar with best view of Fort and Beira Lake

Fort's New Hotspot

A chic cool contemporary rooftop bar that wouldn’t be out of place in New York or Hong Kong. Spacious, breezy, beautiful and with a buzz to it. It’s not cheap but cocktails are crafted with care and the menu is created by Rishi Naleendra, Sri Lanka's first Michelin Star chef, based on ingredients that are true to his Lankan roots. Best of all is the 34-feet long bar at the balcony rooftop with some pretty spectacular views of Fort. A good place to chill out at the comfy couches after a long hot walk.

What Locals Like

Come at sunset for a happy hour with a view.  Ask the staff for any special Lankan-touch cocktails. We loved the green chilli-infused gin!
