🏆 Ropewalk Galle debuts on Asia’s 50 Best Bars extended list

Sri Lankan mixology has achieved a major global milestone as Ropewalk Galle debuts at #93 on the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Bars Extended List. • The Achievement: Ranked #93 globally, Ropewalk is the first and only bar in Galle—and only the third in Sri Lanka's history—to be featured on this esteemed travel and hospitality platform, achieving this feat within just over two years of opening. • The Concept: Operating as the world’s first arrack-speciality bar, it is housed within the 300-year-old Galle Fort Hotel (a UNESCO World Heritage site). It features an "arrack wall" showcasing over 75 expressions of Sri Lanka's indigenous spirit. • Economic & Tourism Impact: This recognition elevates Sri Lanka's unique local craft spirits onto the global culinary tourism map. By collaborating with international venues in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kathmandu, and Kolkata, the brand drives interest in Sri Lanka's tourism and hospitality sector. • Signature Serves: Key offerings highlighting local ingredients include the 'Ropewalk' (spice-infused Old Cask Arrack with ginger and lemongrass), 'Only Nabeel Likes This' (incorporating local kithul treacle and masala tea), and 'Gunpowder'.
