KAVA is the most recent addition to Colombo’s nightlife – a cocktail bar and now also a Sunday night BBQ, the place is oozing endless potential.
The passionate brainchild of the MSD Group (Sugar Beach, Sugar Bistro, etc.), the restaurant and bar focus on elevating Sri Lanka’s bar culture.
With its tropical island-themed, tiki bar-styled approach, KAVA is racing to the top of everyone’s must-visit lists, especially with their more affordable rates and more approachable ambience.
We had a brief glimpse into the madness last Sunday, just to see what all the hype was about. True to their word, it was pretty fantastic.
The vibe was absolutely brilliant with the venue’s open concept layout and rooftop setting, the evening wind just only slightly making itself known. With the hot BBQ on full swing and some live reggae beats, the feel was almost magical.
Walking in at 6 p.m., things started off a little slow, which was expected considering it was their first night. But as the crowd began to pour in later into the night and the conversation started flowing, with a little bit of help from the mind-blowing concoctions courtesy of KAVA, the night was truly transformed.
We can easily recommend that you make your way over to KAVA Island Bar at Maitland Crescent on the first Sunday you are able, because it’s an experience you just have to have.
