Secrets

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!

The staff are divided into greeters (in flouncy red skirts), bar staff (in dickie bows and braces), waitresses (in white tops) and hostesses (in oddly matronly-looking red and black dresses). There is also a mamasan pushing hostesses towards likely-looking customers.The cheaper end drinks are much more expensive than normal but the higher end (such as premium beers and wine) only a little bit more. The customers are mostly Pattaya trippers (behaving a bit badly) and Chinese (looking at their phones). The Secrets logo is omnipresent, on the staff uniforms, on the countless tv screens and on the walls. It is corporate and safe (which is why the Chinese like it).
hang on, how can it be safe if the chinese are there? have you been to snooky lately. [Mod Edit: Take it down a few notches. Thanks.]
They are targeting the salary men not the Chinese construction workers like in Sihanouk. It's the construction workers in Sihanouk that's creating all the drama there
And the salary men who are creating the drugs labs and voip scam operations in PP! How the hell the chinese don't know who these thugs and criminals are when they get here are beyond me. Chinese is supposed to have complete control and none of these arseholes has a criminla recors? China is using Cambodia as an open prison, much like the uk used to use Australia!

Haha, are you seriously bragging about spending $3 on a drink? Joke is on you, you rich man!
No i am not bragging you are not going to see expats or most forum users here at Secrets they are targeting the Chinese, Japanese and Korean salary men.

Would you pay $3 for a beer??
I'd pay $3 a beer, but not for a Cambodia, Anchor etc
That's $3 for a draft too mind you
Not a chance
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

I was there on Saturday. It is a nice looking place. Wasn’t very busy and had a band that was too loud and the Filipina wasn’t the greatest Celine Dion imitator (they all seem to think they can sing like her). The drinks are more expensive than the bars just outside.

The band in Secrets has two female singers. They are both good. Probably better when not singing that kind of song.
I prefer to go on non-weekend nights when the band is allowed to play some songs they like. The lead guitarist is excellent. Does a great solo on Another Brick in the Wall and on Cocaine (Eric Clapton version). And the male vocalist does a ripping Hard to Handle (Otis Redding version).
I like it when the waitresses dance, they move so well. The hostesses look kind of stiff and uncomfortable in those red and black dresses. Personally, I find hostesses are more attractive when not in a corporate uniform.
You're right, the drinks in Secrets are expensive, although many bars in that block have overpriced drinks, draught beer in Route 136 is $2.50. At least in Secrets the $3 draught is nicely poured and into a quality glass. For better value drinks, st 130 is preferable.
