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!

Re: Garage Bar has "Lady Drinks" Now for a Whopping $6? That's new.

Thanks for clarifying this. I don't begrudge the girls a cut, or the bar a fair profit. Just a bit tired of the constant nickel and dime-ing in many sub par establishments that parasite off boy meets girl setups and would close without them.

Simon@Garage wrote: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!
Ah, I never knew that. Thought it was a new thing.

Actually, it was a Jack and Coke, so maybe it was charged as a "premium" ladydrink? Was only marked as one drink on the bill.

She didn't appear to be staff at all and to just be hanging out, but hey, I was already a bit wasted.

And the new fries are damn good, btw! What kind of veggie burger you making?

Haha, I'll be by for a cuddle, Simon, and will even buy you a ladydrink if I can play some Fetty Wap.

The base of the veggie burger is black beans. Had a chef mate in sorting it out and training the girls. Will also check your bill as A JD and Coke should run at $3

Simon runs a tight ship, way better than Garage was previously.
