Frog Skin Bar

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!

Frog Skin Bar

Post by Kuroneko »

Was at the opening of the Frog Skin Bar last night, :? which is on 5 street next to Domino and close to 110 street. Its owned by Linnie who also owns Black Pearl and Jessica who I think owns Apple bar.

They put on a pretty decent BBQ which among other things included steak, chicken wings and kebabs. The bar had a good atmosphere, it is nicely designed and is very much a clone of Black Pearl. Didn't really check on prices although Tiger draft was $2. :beer1:

But most importantly, how was the talent?

I once read I'm a book about an American Indian tribe that called greenbacks"frog skins." I have no idea if that was the inspiration for the bar's name.

Also, goggle offers definitions along the same lines.

A few very nice girls but I think they were mainly friends of Linnie and Jessica there for the party. There was also a few from both Black Pearl and Apple. Probably need to check back in a week or so when things are up and running.

Interesting,maybe they are hoping the bar will attract greenbacks :D I was going to ask about the name but forgot. Will ask Jessica next week if I see her.
