For Sale Ex Lone Brothers Bar Phnom Penh
That side of Pasteur has been a graveyard for bars forever. Apart from the odd night when there were a few big motos parked putside the place is always empty. Even the taxi girls dont want to hang around with criminal moto boys it seems. And often the moto boys were so lonely in their bar they had to drink in the walkabou.
Business didnt even pick up after the loathsome rebels hung their flag up there, funny that. Does anyone in snooky how the rebels are going down there with their bar and reported casino purchase. Have the russians had a word with them yet?

I met 3 of these guys at the bike show at Koh Pich, very nice and they even offered us a few free beers.
As for the bar, boring.
Never met any gangsters connected to the bar.

Nothing against Lone Bros Bar, but I really liked going to the little Thai restaurant that was in that spot before. Proper Thai food served by real Thai people.

And before that it was a great little Vietnamese place which did a good trade with the hookers from walkabout, only closed down as the Italian husband took the wife/owner back to italy. So the spot has potential just wait for the bikers to give up and then take on the rent why pay 40,000?

Hmmm..sure about that? If they're Barang owned, they're generally not allowed to make too much, it's called toe crunching. Get my drift?Bosco wrote:And no doubt some of the girlie bars make good wedge too.

The vast majority of barang owned bars make no money because they're crap, badly managed shit holes staffed by hookers and patronized by depressed all-but-broke expats. There are a couple of exceptions to this.
Agreed, exceptions include Loco which is a very well run by Barang(s) establishment.scobienz wrote:There are a couple of exceptions to this.
Loco? I must have been in there on the wrong night then. 6 of us went in there and all the staff were just engrossed in their mobile phones. There were more staff outside than inside.The only bar in 10 years where you couldnt buy a lady drink if you wanted to!
We were all of the same opinion ,we left after 1 drink. We went to 69 Bar and our tab was 300$ +.
Read good reports on Loco thats why we went . Certainly disapointing on the night i visited, The owner certainly wasnt there and the girls well!

I think that is the problem with many bars: lack of training and absence of the owner. I have never ran a bar (maybe I should) but I have worked in hospitality for 30 years. A large part of my job is running the hotel and mentoring staff to take supervisory roles. It seems to many that many bar and restaurant owners hire stsff and then just let them lose upon the customers.....

Back on topic, $40000 for any bar in PP is pushing it, but Lone Brothers? Seriously, what are you actually getting for your $40,000? A handful of shabby fixtures and fittings and zero goodwill.
Better to just wait for them to walk out on the lease and use the premises for a more sustainable business.

Doesn't sound good. Was it recently? As one of the posters said, it's a lot better if the owner is there minimizing phone use by the girls amongst other things.1894 wrote:Loco?

Unfortunately both owners are overseas at the moment - Jim is in France, and I had to come to Australia for two weeks at very short notice. I left a barang friend to help look after things at Loco but he's not an experienced bar manager and is maybe being too soft with the staff.
I'm back in a few days and will clamp down on mobile phone use again. I agree it's a really bad habit that gives a 'we don't care' impression.
