Garage Bar has "Lady Drinks" Now for a Whopping $6? Oh, And I'm BANNED...

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

Garage Bar has "Lady Drinks" Now for a Whopping $6? Oh, And I'm BANNED...

Post by General Mackevili »

Place has changed a bit since I was there.

First, there's a veggie burger on the menu, which I thought would never happen. I do plan to try it next time I'm there. Not a vegetarian, but live a good veggie burger.

The biggest surprise was LADY DRINKS! I bought some girl at the bar a drink, and it was charged as a $6 lady drink on my bill! Wow. That's definitely new.

I wouldn't say the place has turned into a hostess bar or anything, but lady drinks at Garage Bar is something new.

Is that something "normal" bars around town are starting to do? I guess Garage is on Street 110, so they gotta keep up with the ever-growing amount of girlie bars that are still popping up, and charging extra for Lady Drinks is one way to do it.

The food was good still and the new owner is a cool guy, but it's definitely changed a bit since the latest takeover. My buddy with me commented on the fact we ordered the LARGE fries, and couldn't imagine how the SMALL size couldn't possibly be any smaller, but the owner did mention the other day that they just started doing fries in a new way, so maybe just needs an adjustment.

Will most definitely be back again and again...

Guess my bitches will be going thirsty until we leave... (assuming there's no 'fine' for the walk as well).

I seem to remember that previously you could buy a staff member a drink there, and they received a commission from it, so in effect a ladydrink. But they were $3.50 I think. $6 seems very steep, especially as you don't get to cuddle the girl at all.

i am pretty sure this is a mistake.
i know the owner and he would not countenance this i think.
the girls who work there are also not hostesses by any stretch of the imagination
he will respond here soon

Morning,

Lady drinks were a part of the Garage set up when I took the business on so its not something I put in place. The lady drinks are $3 of which $2 go directly to the staff. Without going through the bills I would imagine you paid for two drinks. Happy to refund you $3 if this is the case.

You're right about the portion size of the fries, this will be sorted this week.

Thanks for popping in!
