Times Bar is worth choosing for a calm, polished hotel-bar drink in Kampala, especially if convenience and a relaxed setting matter more than a documented destination cocktail program. The $$$ positioning makes most sense for Méstil Hotel guests, business travelers, anyone pairing drinks with the property’s resort-style atmosphere.
About Times Bar
Times Bar is a $$$ venue in Kampala with daily hours from 8 AM to 11:30 PM.
The decision point is whether those confirmed basics fit the plan. At $$$, Times Bar is not being recommended here on the basis of a documented awards record, a named drinks program, or a specific food menu. The grounded appeal is simpler: it is open every day from morning until late evening, the dress code is smart casual.
A Kampala option with limited detail
Times Bar’s clearest confirmed facts are practical ones: it is in Kampala, it is priced at $$$, it observes smart casual dress, it is listed as open daily from 8 AM to 11:30 PM. That makes it easier to place in an itinerary than venues with narrower schedules, but it does not confirm any particular cuisine, cocktail focus, entertainment format, seating layout, or hotel affiliation.
Use those limits to set expectations. If your choice depends mainly on Kampala location, daily availability, smart casual dress, $$$ pricing, Times Bar is direct to consider.
Who should choose it
Choose Times Bar if you are planning around Kampala, are comfortable with $$$ pricing, want a place whose confirmed hours run from 8 AM to 11:30 PM every day. Smart casual dress is the standard, so it is a better fit when you are prepared for a polished baseline rather than a casual stop.
There is no confirmed information here about signature dishes, named cocktails, lunch deals, takeout, delivery, allergy accommodations, seating count, chef or owner, ratings, or awards. For those details, check directly with the venue before making plans.
Use it as part of a Kampala plan
For a broader evening, treat Times Bar as one Kampala option and build the rest of the plan around confirmed needs such as timing, budget, dress code.

Bar context
How Times Bar compares in Kampala
Times Bar is the practical pick when easy access in Kampala matters more than a clearly defined bar concept. Sanaar Pool Terrace is the stronger choice for readers prioritising outdoor ambiance, while Times Bar is better suited to a quick central stop with less planning pressure.
Against Kiboko Bar, Tusker Bar, Mylica Bar, Rafiki Lounge, the decision is mainly logistical because detailed price, menu, booking signals are thin across the set. Choose Times Bar for the simplest Kampala routing; choose Sanaar Pool Terrace when the setting is the priority.
If Times Bar is unavailable or the night needs a more deliberate bar choice, start with Sanaar Pool Terrace, then widen the search through our full Kampala bars guide. For out-of-metro alternatives, Mylica Bar in Kisoro is a different trip-planning choice rather than a direct same-night substitute.
