The ongoing march of new hostess bars

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.

The ongoing march of new hostess bars

Post by Clutch Cargo »

Noticing a lot of new bars springing up lately..

Particularly around st130. Angry Birds end, there are a couple of new ones and next door to Splash bar the shop house is being gutted so..maybe another one.

On the Riverside end of 130, there's the new Rosanna bar and 2 doors up from the Indian restaurant opposite, there's another shop house gutted with what looks like a long bar structure on the left going the length of it..

Then today, I noticed the Butterfly bar (diagonally opposite Ostro restaurant) on st 5/136 has done a Phoenix and resurrected after being a minimart and a clothes shop..

A few more new ones on st136 and st5 also..

OK, the high season seems to have kicked off early this year... so presumably more punters in the bars?

Yeah, 118 too altho I think not as recent as the 130 changes.

I wonder if st 110 will eventually do a Phoenix too coz that street was doing better several years ago than now.. Sort of died somewhat..

I noticed street 5 had quite a few new ones over the last year or so. How much are these places paying for rent ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
