About

Meet The Pub, a bar or nightlife venue in Sri Lanka, set on Sri Dalada Veediya in Kandy, the hill-country city at the heart of the island. The bar trades under a name that needs no translation, and its position puts it in the middle of Kandy's everyday street life.

As a bar, The Pub draws a steady local and visiting crowd rather than a seasonal one. A score of 4.1 out of 5, gathered from 338 reviews, places it among the better-known bars on the island, with a following built over time. Colombo, Galle and Negombo sit within reach for travellers moving between the coast and the centre. Whether the venue stages live music or DJ nights is not recorded among its details, so the offer rests on the drinks and the company.

Opening hours run daily, with the bar welcoming guests throughout the week. Photographs of the venue are available, and a website carries further information. The address sits on Sri Dalada Veediya, a central Kandy street.

Kandy lies in the hill country of central Sri Lanka, where the air is cooler and wetter than on the coastal plains, so an evening here can call for a layer that the beaches never need. Full-moon Poya days are public holidays, and some bars adjust their hours around them. Three-wheelers handle short trips around town, buses cover most routes, and traffic keeps to the left. Rice and curry, seafood and tropical fruit shape the local table, and a drink at The Pub fits naturally into a day spent in the city.
