Good spots near the airport for a pint?

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out.

Kind of spot to just chill back or not really? Don't want to stick out more than I already do

It’s pleasant enough, it’s the same set up as the other metro’s in city and is the only ‘western’ ish option in the area I am aware of.
Thanks! Not familiar with the franchise but will check out and see how it is.

Any of note? Can probably check some out, remember hitting up the Diamond one nearby last time we were there and it wasn't a good time.

On the way along Veng Sreng there are a few of the sidewalk drinking places that set up each evening

Agreed, pubs/ western places places don't really exist outside of Daun Penh/ BKK districts.
I would add TK to that list - Metro Azura & Hops just two of the options top of head for drinking, Playroom, Motocafe, etc, plus that German themed place I forget the name of in Aeon2 a stone's throw from TK in Sen Sok closer to the airport. There be options in them thar hills of Battambang!!

there are some options, but as I mentioned it will be 99.99 % Khmer and/or Chinese clientele, but if your goal is to chill out they might be some good choices for you

BANBAN SKY BAR

Z sky bar
https://maps.app.goo.gl/51ae9PPrh7Ng63iu8

TOP Afterwork Pub
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Jqj9DVz9zfg3wXdw7

Blue Night Sky Bar

Hops Craft Beer Garden & Restaurant, "Villa" Tuol Kork
https://maps.app.goo.gl/zg87zHvgrWt3bQTp9


don't bother aeon 2, it's all closed (maybe reopened but empty), midtown mall in 2004 might be of a choice as well (but rather not imo)

Maybe also try stone head brewery and tap room. Only about 10 minutes from the airport towards town.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.
