29 Bristol Street, Colombo 1
Open 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm
At Rs 260, the Ex-Serviceman's Institute Bar (open to all) is as cheap as beer gets. Its all male clientele is actually quite well-mannered.
Cheap booze, decent clientele, and good vibes till 9 PM. Ideal for pre-drinks if you're around the Fort area.
At 190 bucks (20 rupees above retail), the Ex-Serviceman's Club (open to all) is as cheap as beer gets. Minus marks for its all male clientele and grottiness, but beggars can't be choosers.
සිංහල රු. 190ට ඔබට සේවාමුක්ත භටයන්ගේ සමාජයේදී Ex-Serviceman's Clubහිදී බීර තොලගාන්න පුළුවන. එය සැමට විවෘතයි. තනිකරම පිරිමි වූ පාරිභෝගික ප්රජාව හා එහි ඇති ගුහා ගතිය හොඳ නැහැ. ඒත්, මෙතන සිඟන්නන්ට නම් තැනක් නොවෙයි.

Good place to go with family. But not a great place to booze

Shouldn't you give an address for the place you are reviewing?
I much preferred the old Ex-Serviceman's by the sea behind the Indian embassy.

Sorry, I just saw that you have included the address.

Was that not the United Bar … (next to the rail track) where kadalai was served by the amme with the cart outside.

It was later named United. Originally was the Ex-Servicemen's.

You should go and check out the Goverment Sports Bar! Similar place with good food. On the baseline road just before the old Airtel office.
