Capital Bar & Grill
About
In Sri Lanka, Capital Bar & Grill is a restaurant. It sits on the second floor of the Shangri-la Hotel in Colombo 00200, a bar and grill within the city's main commercial district. The kitchen runs a grill-led menu of the kind that pairs well with a bar setting, and the dining room sits above the hotel's ground-floor bustle.
A 4.6 out of 5 average across 511 reviews places it among the better-reviewed addresses in the capital. Colombo, Galle, Kandy and Negombo all sit within reach of the island's main travel routes, so the bar works as a city stop before or after a coastal or hill-country leg. The menu centres on grilled dishes served in a bar-and-restaurant setting, and the room opens for evening service rather than lunch.
Doors run from 17:00 to 01:00 Sunday through Thursday, with Friday and Saturday extending to 02:00. Those late weekend hours suit a nightcap after dinner elsewhere in the city, while the earlier close on weeknights keeps things quieter. The hotel's dining page at http://www.shangri-la.com/mobile/colombo/shangrila/dining/ carries the current information.
Getting around is straightforward: buses cover most routes, three-wheelers handle short hops, and traffic drives on the left. The hill country in the centre of the island runs cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, worth packing for if Colombo is only the first stop.
