Phnom Penh bar recommendations
Phnom Penh bar recommendations
I don't see a lot of general bars on PP with average expats frequenting the place, where you can sit at the bar and get some chat going. Saigon is full of such places, so I'm not sure what's going on.
There seems to be:
Girlie bars
Bars for scrotes (GSM and surroundings)
Bars for 70+ year old gents (Larry's, Harry's etc)
Bars for the young hip crowd
The only normal person type bar I can think of is Score but it's too cavernous to have a nice atmosphere. Any suggestions of decent places?

Rising Sun and Box Office always filled that spot for me. Shame to hear that Larry's is now full of OAPs, twas quite a crowd at happy hour in the past.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.
Larry's has a family restaurant atmosphere many days between 5 and 8..
I' say 50+ croud rather than 70+ too for many of the bars...

Sundance, yuck. And you have to go down that awful street to get to it. I always thought Larry’s had a nice ambience with a good host. Aren’t there any new bars with the right stuff?

Back in the day, there were few better bars than Walkabout for a Sunday session with expats. Plenty of characters in there, no hassle from.the ladies (unless you wanted it) and tales aplenty of the previous night's debauchery.
I'd go to Harrys, Lonestar, Long after Dark, Botanico. But I don't really go to bars to talk to people, I have a beer, sign on to Khmer440 and use the guest feature to reply to Horace.

Garage, Botanico, Box Office, Borans Bar, Mini Banana.....there are quite a few
that said, there used to be a lot more that have fallen by the wayside, Cadillac used to be a favorite to do that. I think there are more in the Russian Market area these days than used to be around riverside area.
Interesting you say about Saigon as I found neither there nor Hanoi great for that as everyone sat out the front on the side by side tables making it hard to get chatting if solo.

Indeed! I used to have breakfast there and enjoy the floor show until lunch, countless times.erictheking wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 1:55 pmBack in the day, there were few better bars than Walkabout for a Sunday session with expats.

I remember a fair number of Sunday mornings being told a few of the patrons had been there since Friday afternoon on benders...

No. Embargo is a craft beer place for the young and hip. Probably not the kind of joint for many on here. Try the new Underground bar on st.130. Not a girlie bar, playing Brit rock music and run by a friendly Swedish guy. Fun place.
