Toul Tompong pubs

Post by frank lee bent »

Thinking of moving to PP in September and am attracted to the cheap prices for rents around toul tompong.

Wondering if there are any after work places for a beer and non fancy western food in this area?

No...that is something which is severely lacking in TTP, a decent pub/bar. Recently Coffee Corner have built a bar upstairs and have called it the Corner Bar, but its not the sort of 'after work place for a beer'.

Some of the 'Western' oriented restaurants in the area don't even sell any alcohol because they're run by religious NGO's or something.

If I had the time, and wasn't working away so much, I would be tempted to open up a small bar myself in TTP. A place with a pool table, cold beers, good selection of music and a minimal pub grub menu. Something that caters to expats, locals and tourists who enjoy having a drink at a decent bar without having to travel halfway across town.

So you are not welcome local :( . Until i read that part, i was thinking to visit your bar as you mentioned that you would put a pool table which i really like to play. .

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Haha, no sorry Samouth, I did not mean it to sound that way at all and should have worded it better, I'm not a very good writer. Of course locals would be welcome (I better edit my post!) :beer3:

It is okay i just wanted to make sure whether i can go and visit your bar if you really open one. I think it is really easy to forget that there is no local posters as forum was mainly designed for expat :facepalm: . I might can help you for free in interpreting with house owner in case you don't speak khmer or helping you in legal process like making a contract in khmer as well as in English. :)

I'm not disclosing details but an established business is opening a western-style pub with pool tables in TTP in the second half of the year.

Do you regularly go there? I really wanted to start playing pool again. Haven't been playing it for a long time.

Not open yet, opening later this year. I'm up for playing pool around TTP or BT if there's a small group interested.

Oop, i didn't read it properly. Sorry for my ignorance about abbreviation of the place in pp. i know TTP but what is BT.

I am up for playing pool too. I hope the table will not be so big for me to play as i am short. :lol:
