1990s bar name and location??
1990s bar name and location??
I'm trying to remember the name and street location of the air conditioned bar that was staffed by Filipina (primarily) waitresses who played pool with customers for money back in the 1990s? It was a bit pricier than the other places, and it was frequented mostly by higher income types (embassy folks, NGO folks, etc). I believe it is gone now...

Yes, most definitely the old Cat House and very aptly named during UNTAC's time. All those surplus ladies from the US Bases at Subic and elsewhere just flocked in to Phnom Penh. As with most thing when there is active compettiton in a market place the price of sex fell to very low levels.

Ahhh, the Cathouse... Went there on one of my first trips to PP around 1996. Awesome place in the early evening, loads of expats and, yes, some Filipino theme. The owner or manager (Steve???) was a great host. But the place changed in the late nineties for the worse unfortunately.

I think it's some women's clothing shop now.

I think you are right (I could only remember that there was the word cat in the name). The air con was always nice there, but I never had much luck at the pool table.
