The short answer
Rodeo Pub & Restaurant: what visitors should know first
Go if you want a relaxed pub meal with a big menu. TravelTriangle says it includes vegetarian choices, but it is a pub with meat on the menu, so ask about separate cooking. Expect music and drinks to be part of the atmosphere.

Why it matters
Why Rodeo Pub & Restaurant is worth your time
A pub-restaurant fills a gap in Negombo: not everyone wants a seafood platter or a rice and curry plate every night. Rodeo gives families and mixed groups a familiar menu with burgers and toast, which can be a relief on a long trip with children or after a day of travel.
It appears on two lists we opened, and TravelTriangle's address lets you find it on Poruthota Road without guessing. Prices are not stated in either source, so treat the price band as a rough signal and check the menu before ordering.

How to experience it
TravelTriangle gives the address as 35A Poruthota Road, Ethukala, and describes pub food on a large menu that includes vegetarian choices, plus signature cocktails. It names a chicken burger with chips and garlic cheese toast as recommended items. Sri Lanka Travel Pages also lists it, describing a lively, welcoming spot.
For older relatives, going for an early dinner is the practical approach, because pub venues tend to get busier and louder later. Garlic cheese toast and a burger are simple choices that avoid heavy spice, and the large menu should let you ask for plainer dishes.
Vegetarians can ask which of the vegetarian choices are cooked separately from meat. As the source does not say, the listing carries no diet tag, and strict vegetarians or Jain travellers should ask directly about shared grills, egg and stock.
