Tipsy on Maitland — Restaurant in Colombo

Visited Sopranos with a few friends. It was completely empty. Staff were comfortable on the couches when we walked in and then all promptly stood up and moved away. Some of the staff are friendly while others have a serious chip on their shoulder, particularly the guy handling the song requests.

The food is not great but there is a fair choice on the menu and that includes beverages. prices are reasonable given today's exorbitant prices in most establishments.

The quality of songs and mics sound quality are awful. Very outdated. The guy playing the songs seem to deliberately increase the sound to drown out the ability to sing.

I was quite disappointed at the level of entertainment in Colombo in general but if it is singing you love - someone recommended the new place - LIV or Stella, quite are far better.

One of my friends wore a pair of Birkenstock slippers, which one would know, are very expensive but most comfortable. They are NOT your ordinary rubber slippers, but he was refused entry. A little strange given that the place was completely empty and one would think they'd welcome the business.

I was quite sad to see the staff standing idle. Not sure how places like these survive given the costs factors involved.

There was one staff member - Senaka, He was very polite and friendly.

I was rather surprised that they serve beer with ice cubes. It waters down the beer. I just assumed it is because the beer was NOT cool enough. Yet, NOT a good idea at all. To a great beer drinker it would be a complete NO NO

All in all a very...

Sopranos strikes a warm, inviting chord right from the moment you walk in. It balances a cozy, intimate lounge feel with a dash of nightlife energy. Perfect whether you're looking for laid back singing or a livelier crowd. The interior is neither overdressed nor bland, evoking a welcoming atmosphere. With access to an impressive song library, music lovers can choose from a wide array of genres. When the system is working smoothly, it's easy to queue up favorites and sing with confidence. That said, peak nights can bring technical hiccups, mic waits or delayed song plays, which can disrupt the rhythm a bit. The bar serves a broad selection of alcohol, including crafted cocktails with flair. Light bites accompany drinks nicely, though this isn’t a full fledged dining destination. Service quality seems to vary. Many nights feature friendly, attentive staff who add to the warm vibe. Other times, slow mic handling or communication barriers have interrupted the flow, pulling focus away from the entertainment. Still, if you're in the right mood and at the right time, it's one of Colombo’s best places to sing...

What a waste of money and time waiting for a song that never came. We went as a group from singapore and ordered 2 bottles, shots and wine. We also wanted to sing but the DJ acted like he owns the place and only kept playing music to his friends, who didn't even order drinks just sitting and asking for song after song. We went up to him and he just ignored us. My self and my colleagues asked so many times, he kept saying 3 more, 2 more and just didn't give us a song. If your the owner reading this reviews, please fire this DJ as he is rude, no people skills and we spent over 115,000 Lankan rupees and didn't get 1 song all night. We all are very upset and felt he was very unprofessional. This was our last night and right now at the airport writing this reviews. Your karioke DJ made our last nignt horrible, and kept a bad memory of your island with us. I can not recomed this place to anyone who appreciates good service and to sing a song. Don't go here. Unless the karioke DJ is a new one. Time...
