7 best bars in Phnom Penh

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Post by kiwiincambodia »

This popped up on my Facebook feed.

Can't say I agree with the most of these.

Yeah that list is really aiming for the a specific crowd. Can't blame her that much as bars tend to cater to fairly specific demographics (though not as much here as in the west). I haven't been at every spot mentioned, but I personally find most of those places a bit boring and pretentious.

as much as i hate to admit it, i was actually in there last night, my mate who's relocating from thailand to cambodia said he had never been and wanted to check it out, i did warn him, we stayed for one drink and didnt hang about, the place was busy, and still attracts the finest of crowds :bad:

I think you're right, number one Strange Fruit - "Strange Fruit is involved heavily in the LGBT scene of Phnom Penh, and has hosted various significant events including Pride Cambodia 2015." Don't think i'd even take my cat there :D

Agree there, if your looking for a wine bar I think Bouchon is streets ahead.

Le Moon Terrace Bar - fine if you are short of cash and don't want to buy a drink. Certainly the service must be the slowest in Phnom Penh
