The Pub
Re: The Pub
Ah OK, thanks. She does a good job. Last year it was run by an Aussie guy, who for no reason wasn't particularly friendly to me.

Damn, I love a good session Ale but this one by Prince was fucking vile. I am not sure if it was the tap too old or the beer sucked, on to a Cerevisia and much better.hanno wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 8:54 amBotanico, Embargo.

As for Phnom Penh bars, any recommendations for a good craft? I’m stopping by Hops among others, wondering if any new places opened.

I think their beer just sucks. They gave me a few cans to try and I shared them with friends; we all poured it away.GMJS-CEO wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 7:55 pmDamn, I love a good session Ale but this one by Prince was fucking vile.

No they are all gone, and I missed them a lot, nothing last forever. For those who were here fifteen years ago, most of them are gone, night life in PP was fun and exciting now rather dull.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 7:35 amToul Tom poungBaltimoreJack wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:50 pm That's a shame.

Re: The Pub
I went to meet a couple of couchsurfers by the riverside a few weeks ago. It was a Monday night. For fun, we strolled (limped in my case) up and down the few bar streets around 136. They said it reminded them of Pattaya. Lots of bright neon lights and literally two or three hundred women on the streets if you count from Oscar's on down to the last bar street... It was so sad to see so many poor women alone and no clients in sight anywhere. I glimpsed one or two young Western men walking along, and one or two older white guys sitting at cafes on the main corner, but that was all. But with so few men around there, I don't see how the area can sustain itself.cabron wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 8:48 pmNo they are all gone, and I missed them a lot, nothing last forever.

There are other clubs across the city like discos, way out of the bar street area, but again, most are frequented by Chinese and local men and women.
Nagaworld is always pretty busy.

Re: The Pub
Well, if one leaves the rose tinted spectacles at home and take a wander into some places you haven't been before around TTP/BKK etc you can still find watering holes to sit drink and swap lies with strangers late into the morning. . .cabron wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 8:48 pmNo they are all gone, and I missed them a lot, nothing last forever.

Not that kind of bars more like Rina Bar, Sophie's Club or Mikado Bar, all located in the city center.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 10:55 amWell, if one leaves the rose tinted spectacles at home and take a wander into some places you haven't been before around TTP/BKK etc you can still find watering holes to sit drink and swap lies with strangers late into the morning. . .cabron wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 8:48 pmNo they are all gone, and I missed them a lot, nothing last forever.

Re: The Pub
So by non-hostess bars you mean brothels? I don't think that was what BaltimoreJack was looking for.cabron wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 12:11 pmNot that kind of bars more like Rina Bar, Sophie's Club or Mikado Bar, all located in the city center.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 10:55 amWell, if one leaves the rose tinted spectacles at home and take a wander into some places you haven't been before around TTP/BKK etc you can still find watering holes to sit drink and swap lies with strangers late into the morning. . .cabron wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 8:48 pmNo they are all gone, and I missed them a lot, nothing last forever.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: The Pub
I agreed with you at least for two of these bars, Mikado and Sophie, they were salacious and not for the faint-hearted but iI was also possible to drink and talk quietly with someone without disturbance from the staff, the music was always in low volume no earsplitting jungle music like the bars near the river ( St. 130,136,110, 104)John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 2:03 pmSo by non-hostess bars you mean brothels?

Chez Rina was a more fashionable venue well located near the river and St,98 away from the usual hustle & bustle. A genuine upscale speakeasy lounge, the staff were hospitable, polite and nicely dressed. The bartending was truly professional and creative. Saddly Chez Rina close down for good in the summer of 2018, a great lost for Phnom Penh nightlife.
