St 5 bars

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!

St 5 bars

Post by ofparadise »

does anyone here frequent the bars along the small road that runs parallel to the river? St 5 Angkor.... Blue Angel, Bird in Hand and frog skin bar and others.

Not just me, but almost anyone i know who has been to a specific one of those 3 bars, ends up overpaying drastically... no attempt even to mask the ghost charges hahaha. I shall not name the place outright because I'm hoping it's not deliberate but just 1 or 2 greedy staff.

But this post is not to lament the lost. Rather I was wondering if some of you have good experiences there?

No, and (I must admit i am careful with money) have never been overcharged in any bar in PP. But I know it happens sometimes when they sense a customer is not in the mood to be careful with his money.

I have been overcharged a few times in 5 star restaurants.

That's why Michelin gives only 3 stars, to keep it real ^^

No, I always speed up through that street 5, it's full of ladyboys and weirdoes.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Feel the same about speeding up but a client of mine loves that Angel bar, and somehow or rather, our night always ends up there when we meet.

I'd rather savor a few pints, unwind and talk shop with my buddies, without having to explain why I prefer my drink and mind space over a platoon of unusually thirsty girls for company.

Is that the street talk, these days? I'm out of touch.
