Phnom Penh
is a surprisingly good little party town, offering a dusk
till dawn nightlife and a variety of places from which to
choose - dance clubs, sports bars, neighborhood pubs,
karaoke, upscale clubs and more.
Bars and clubs are scattered across the town but as the city
is fairly compact it’s never more than a five or ten minute
ride between places, usually less. And there are several
little clusters of bars and nightspots around town allowing
you to hop easily from one to the next.
The
riverfront area sports the greatest number of places
with dozens of bars and restaurants stretching along
Sisowath Quay and up the side streets. Radiating off the
riverfront road,
Street 104
and Street 136 both harbor goodly collections of sports and
hostess bars open late into the night. Another little huddle
of hostess bars sits at the corner of Streets 108 and 51.
Late night, the clubs are the place to be. In the couple of
blocks between Streets 154 and 174, Street 51 near the Heart
is lined with a varied collection bars, busy into the early
morn - Walkabout, Zeppelin, and Howies are but
a few of the Street 51 places. The street is busiest after
midnight with some bars open past 4AM. Street 51 is also a
good place to place to get a midnight snack. The
Walkabout is open 24/7, Zeppelin Café serves food
until at least 4AM and there are a couple of late night
restaurants in the Golden Sorya Mall opposite the
Heart. |
