Dutch Hospital Shopping Precinct, Colombo

Dutch hospital, by its name really was a dutch hospital. The government was kind enough to preserve the structure and open cafes in the same area. World Trade centre lies opposite to it and is at stones throw distance from the sea. There are multiple cafes serving tea, juices , alcohol and food. Live music is also played here. Unfortunately the cafes do not reduce their individual music volume when live music is being played. I myself went over to one cafe and requested them to turn down their volume so we could hear the live music. A good place to spend a evening.

One of the best places in Colombo to hangout with friends during the night. Prices are little bit expensive. But there are some affordable shops also. You can dance to the dj till past midnight. If you come in a Friday you get to enjoy live music in the open area. But it can get crowded sometimes.
