Entertainment in Nuwara Eliya

  1. Grand Hotel

    Not the cheapest place to drink in town, but with a lovely period vibe enlivened by an open fire and vintage movie posters. The older waiters will most likely challenge you to a game of snooker in the adjoining billiard room. You’ll be expected to pay for the privilege (Rs 500 per hour), but it is a quintessential Nuwara Eliya experience.

  2. Boathouse Restaurant

    Open only during the July-August, December-January and April peak seasons, this is a popular local lakeside bar and restaurant with a nautical theme. There are carrom (a cross between snooker, marbles and air hockey - you flick disks into corner pockets) boards to pass the time.

    Lakeview Pub

    At the time of research, the finishing touches were being added to this place at the Alpine Hotel. Lots of moody, dark timber, billiards, darts and a lake-view terrace promise to make it a popular spot.

  4. Lion Pub

    Almost every town of size in Sri Lanka seems to have a 'Lion Pub', and this version sitting at the edge of the town centre is as good a spot as any for draught lager at local prices.

    The Pub

    The cheapest place to drink in town, but not recommended for solo female travellers.
