We want to experience the old Dutch Hospital in Colombo tonight. After eating some legendary lagoon crab, which bars in the old courtyard have the best live music and historic vibe.

The Dutch Hospital is incredible because you are partying inside the oldest building in the Colombo Fort area, built around 1681. After you finish your garlic chili crab, head straight to the courtyard. There is usually live acoustic or jazz music on weekends. For drinks, Taphouse by RNR offers a great atmosphere right against the thick colonial walls.

If you want a more club like vibe later in the night, step just outside the precinct walls and head to the rooftop bars overlooking the old hospital.

Make sure to look at the massive teak beams in the ceiling while you are drinking. Those are the original timbers from the 17th century VOC era.
