That would have been before George's Pizza, Bar, and Nightclub was open up there I think ?
Coyote Ugly was up there as well, a bit later on.
Early 00ies Cambodia's first gay bar was up there, The Black Eagle.
Not to mention the, always amusing, French bar, Le Douville.

George's would have closed around 2006 but I'm not sure it was around 20 years ago, I think it was only around for a couple of years.

It was an ongoing tragedy. After someone got killed in Heart it was torn down so for a while George's was jammed and he spent a load of money expanding. Not long after all the customers disappeared and started going to a new place with a balcony on 51. Then he was in a scandal and nearly got shut down because some local tosser wrote an article in the local papers with all sorts of lies. There were a few women who were paid to dance on these small platforms around the place there, but they were always fully clothed when I was there. So this prick writes that he came in, there were naked women dancing who were trying to entice him into a frenzy which made him very uncomfortable(paraphrased). Then the naked ladies came over and tried to molest him etc, the whole thing was fucking ridiculous. George was okay but was always pissed off anytime I met him, he was always complaining that the Citroën Traction Avant he had was the worst thing ever because it made so many assume he was rich. It was a great car to be driven around in and there wasn't anything much quite like it in town at the time. I liked the guy, I wonder what happened to him?
Beggars on Sisowath in 2006. The car was hired out to La Croisette for quite a while, before the elephant.

Where was Georges Pizza Bar and what was it like, did it have a wood burning pizza oven? It seems that the venues around the north of Wat Phnom lasted until they were torn down in 2008. Thornton had an argument about his Coyote Ugly Bar with the authorities about then, don't know what the outcome was.Playboy wrote:That would have been before George's Pizza, Bar, and Nightclub was open up there I think ?

Had good pizzas and great wine, but unfortunately it had to close around 2006 along with other "non cultural" establishments.
Reported in PPP April 2006
Bar and restaurant owners on the north side of Wat Phnom are up in arms about the Municipality's decision to order them to close within one year "in order to keep safety, order and beauty of Wat Phnom," according to the March 23 announcement signed by Chhay Tirith, Chief of Srah Chork Commune.
Anyone remember it?
I remember that.

A general rule of thumb for developing countries.
I think it was George who spent several thousand dollars importing a fancy doner kebab rotisserie (the first in the country), only to discover that there was nowhere to get the required meat to cook on it.
