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.

The Riverfront

Dining-Bars-Clubs-Shopping
Sisowath Quay from Street 184 to Street 100

Bars and restaurants line the riverfront road and most are open all day and into the evening. Great place for an early evening drink over-looking riverside. Most bars close up around midnight, but a couple of clubs and many of the bars on the side streets stay open well into the wee hours.

 

Streets 136, 110, 104...

Just off of Sisowath Quay, the riverfront

Several of the streets radia-ting off the riverfront road are bar streets in their own right. Streets 136 and 104 are packed solid with pubs, most of the hostess variety, but also a few neighborhood pubs and a couple of eateries as well.

 

Street 51
Bars-Clubs
Street 51 between Streets 154 and 172

Late evening Street 51 becomes one of the hottest bar streets in town. Several hostess bars, a few neighbor-hood pubs, a couple of the town’s most popular clubs including Pontoon and Heart of Darkness, and a rather dire beergarden market, all busy until early morn. There are also plenty of late night food carts. Busy every night.

Street 172 between Street 19 and Street 13

The couple of blocks of Street 172 behind Wat Ounalom has become a budget traveler area, picking up the slack from the old lake scene. Budget-minded bars and eateries line the street.

 

Bassac Lane, Street 308 & BKK1
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 famously musical Zeppelin Bar. One block over Score Bar on Street 282 is one of the better sports bars in town.
