Phnom Penh:
Bars & Nightlife

Phnom Penh is a good little party town,
offering a heady dusk till dawn nightlife and a variety of places
from which to choose. Bars and clubs are scattered across the town,
but as the city is fairly compact and many of the bars are clustered
on a few ‘bar streets,’ it’s easy to hop between. The riverfront area
sports dozens of bars including many of the
hostess variety up the sidestreets; the Streets 278/51 area
of
Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) area
is dotted with bars including several travelers places; chic
micro-bars crowd Bassac Lane off Street 308 off Norodom Blvd
near the Independence Monument; and very late night
Street 51 is
undoubtedly the busiest pub street in town.
There's something for everybody -
neighborhood
bars and after-work places like Rehabb Pub and
Sports Bar in BKK1, plenty of hostess bars, some good wine bars,
at least a couple of places with live music, a few
clubs, and for late nighters more than a few 24/7 bars, especially
in the Street 51 area and near the riverfront.

up an upscale feel (though the prices are very mainstream) -

lighting, curved bar, tables and sitting nooks in the walls.

Bars and restaurants line the
riverfront road and most are open all day and into the

midnight, but a couple of clubs and many of the bars on
the side streets stay open well into the wee hours. |

Several of the streets radia-ting off the riverfront road are

Independence Monument area
Street 308 and the Bassac Lane alleyways
harbor a chic little enclave of must-try eclectic eateries and
stylish micro-bars. The-place-to-be after work but pretty sleepy
after eleven.
Most of the drinking venues in BKK1 are at the north end, many
catering to travelers and expats. Half a dozen late bars line
Street 278, including the traveler-popular Top Banana and the
famous ly musical Zeppelin Bar. One block over Score Bar on
Street 282 is one of the better sports bars in town. |
