Garage Bar For Sale - Reason I Was Banned?

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.

Hi all,

As you've probably been aware Peter sold the bar this week and I've taken over as of from today. A bit about myself, I'm Simon from London I'm new to Cambodia but know a few people here already and I'm familiar with the Garage Bar history, I've operated bars and music venues in London before and saw this as a great opportunity. We've reverted the opening hours to be closed in the daytime and will be open 3:30pm - late every day. At present there wont be too many changes still keeping the great burgers, happy hour, ice cold beers and great music that the bar has been associated with over the years. I will post more updates as I settle in with a few special events and of course a more official opening night. Hope to see as many ex-pats and locals popping in for a beer in the coming weeks.

Cheers

I popped in at Garage Bar the other day. I just wanted to check it out as it is now under the new owner. It actually almost remains the same.

I dropped by a couple of weeks ago with some Australian customers and met Simon and Tom, and the two dogs. We shared some drinks, a good night.

haha sad, i didn't manage to talk to the new owner as i went there with a friend. So i spent the whole time talking to my friend and the workers there. Good that the worker still remembered me. I will pop in next time and make sure that i get the chance to talk to the owner.
