We were two friends visiting the XL bar and had a very nice experience. This review is only about the bar restaurant. It is a local bar in Fort Kochi and we were happy to have experienced the local drinking scene. The crowd was mostly youngsters and middle aged men. The alcohol is also super cheap here. Must try for a local bar experience in Fort Kochi.
Note: this is not a fancy place and therefore expect it to be crowded and shabby.
I’m from Fort Kochi and clearly it isn’t my first time at XL and I love it! Chill beer available, they even give you a free side to go with your beer. Alcohol is also available and quite a few to choose from. I recommend XL! Worth the price “outside food is allowed inside the bar*
Awesome bar! Very good ambience, we had so much fun at this bar, a little expensive tho. Car parking is a little difficult we had to park a little bit away. UPI payments are available here.
Want to drink beer in Kochi and don't mind a a venue with no ambience or comfort? Don't mind if the beer is served a little bit warm just as long as it is actually served to you? You've found your place
It's like a heritage building, love this ambience. Very peaceful place. Only beer serve here. I ask for some starters and food while having the beer. The bartender said they don't serve food or starters after covid.
We didn't stay here. Rented scooter for our fort kochi wandering. Scooter was in good condition. Paid the rental before take the scooter and submitted our ID card for proof. They said per day rental is 500. But we took it for few hours so got some discount
XL, our usual spot for having a beer. Casual place. A Dutch style architecture. It is one of the heritage building we have in fort kochi. Ground floor is the restaurant, walk up the stairs you will get to the bar, a chilled out place. Open from 11 am to 11 pm
The Bar is excellent. The building is a stunning example of the old architecture of the British. The arc shaped interiors, wooden windows and wooden floor which makes a sound like that of tap dance is all nostalgic. A Chilled Beer too will give the perfect vibe.
Really nice place to have beer &wine and restaurant serves pretty decent food.there are two building one which serves only beer and wine and the other with restaurant attached to it.the restaurant one is with better vibe to hangout with family they have an a/c room as well
Situated near fort kochi beach and park. Good ambience and cheap beer. Service is good but toilet lacks a bit of maintenance. Good place to chill. Weekends evenings are usually crowded with locals as well as foreigners. They take both cash and card.
Nice place to sit and have some beer and chill, the food is okay and I would stick with having just French fries. The staff is very friendly and eager to have a conversation with their guests even during peak hours.
