Valhalla Bar in Kamala is a laid-back dive bar with an easy, familiar vibe. People drop in for beer and cocktails, to sit back, chat, and spend the evening without any pretension. The crowd is international, with a noticeable number of European guests — Germans included — so it’s easy to meet people and join a game.

The main draw is a well-maintained pool table: the cloth is true, the cues are in good shape, and you’ll often find genuinely strong players on the table. It works equally well for a casual round with friends or a more serious match.

What really holds the place together is the attentive service. The staff are polite and sociable without being pushy. There are hostesses on site, and you’ll find the usual offerings for bars like this, such as lady drinks and bar fines. Drink prices feel in line with Kamala standards, without the sense of being marked up.

Music leans toward the heavier side — more rock and metal than pop — though the vibe depends on the night: sometimes it’s lively, other times it’s fairly quiet. One small practical note: when paying, it’s worth double-checking the bill to avoid any misunderstandings.
