French-owned bar owner?
I'm trying to recall they guys name. It was 15-20 years ago or thereabouts. Was it Johnny??

Ah yes, Le Deauville, where the French knew their place - on the right hand side of the central beer pump, leaving the left hand side of the bar for us

Anyone else remember Srool Bar on Street 9/ kapko Market, mad French junkies, beautiful khmer girlfriends, Epu Thong ( sp) the kick boxer champ was a regular as were many other Khmers n frogs. I was generally the only non frog / non khmer at the bar most nights. Great music n vibes. Definitely one of my all time favourites bars but his name was Herve not Johnny! Last heard he was doing time for dealing smack, probably dead now.

Damn, I had all but forgotten about that place until your post. I used to swing in occasionally between trips to Gucci Bar and my house on St21 ...horace wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 6:25 pmAnyone else remember Srool Bar on Street 9/ kapko Market, mad French junkies, beautiful khmer girlfriends, Epu Thong ( sp) the kick boxer champ was a regular as were many other Khmers n frogs.

^^ Twas the only bar in the world with my boat race painted on to the wall by the French/ Vietnamese artist who decided to immortalize the patrons in cartoon form.

That would be Hassen.
Johny must be Johny from chez Johny. He is now retired, living the farm life between Kompong Thom and Siem Reap.

Another French bar I used to like was Toucan Bar (?), which was between Orussy Market and St 214. Just a cool hole in the wall handout.
