Siem Reap's Pub St businesses protest against nuisances.
Re: Siem Reap's Pub St businesses protest against nuisances.
A barrel of Angkor is $22 or thereabouts. If you sell a lot (and I know one bar was doing 200 a month) you get big discounts and fee barrels. Even at list that is $22 for 20 litres. 20 litres is 60 330ml glasses which is $30 at 50c, so even if you are on the lowest rung you make 50% margin on beer.

Not as easy as that. In reality you might get 50 glasses so you'll make 5 bucks on a keg. Not enough since the tax man cometh around. And I can only think of one bar that maybe sells 200 kegs a month during high season.
Re: Siem Reap's Pub St businesses protest against nuisances.
The bar was in PP and he kept a spreadsheet because he was weighing beer in and out to stop the barrels being underweight and to check the till. Clever move. I was told he loses up to 1 litre a barrel. He was selling at $0.75 and it was really a loss leader. People stay in the bar for cheep beer and do not notice the price added onto the other drinks or the food There are numerous ways of fiddling beer here including 1 litre jugs, 300ml glasses which some brewery staff allegedly supply on request

My mistake, I thought we were talking about Temple Town. It does not really work on Pub Street as a lot of people will hug the cheap beers and then go to the noodle stall for food. The guys who came in 10 or more years ago made money but a lot of them want to bail now.pczz wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 4:20 pmThe bar was in PP and he kept a spreadsheet because he was weighing beer in and out to stop the barrels being underweight and to check the till.

Can you imagine how cheap and nasty the ingredients must have been for them to sell a Long Island Iced Tea for $1:50 and still try and make a profit?
Wouldn't be surprised if half of it was isopropyl, actually I'm probably sure that if you buy a Long Island Iced Tea for $1:50 on the side of the road in Cambodia then you're drinking isopropyl and if you're lucky maybe some Mekong Whiskey
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
This.

Agreed, pretty hard to make a LIT for a buck fifty.Captain Bonez wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 5:19 pmCan you imagine how cheap and nasty the ingredients must have been for them to sell a Long Island Iced Tea for $1:50 and still try and make a profit?

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: Siem Reap's Pub St businesses protest against nuisances.
As I already mentioned: I did not see any/ a lot beer at Pubstreet for 0,50. Most of them were more expensive. I did in the other Streets. Of course I did not check every single bar.
I must say, the long island ice tea tasted great and I wasn't sick although I dreank many.
How can you tell there is no isopropyl in any coctail (bar/street cart / shop)?
And my point was not to discuss that the barowners make a lot of money. I did not mind the prices so much although I just noticed that they were higher than in the other Streets.
But my point is Barowners of Pubstreet complaining about bad admosphere which they cause themselves.
