Toul Tompong pubs

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.

I'd drink at your pub. You'd possibly even coax me into a bit of bartending.

Oh really now, faith ye''d be the man ta strike fear into recalcitrants!

I have heard a deal of moaning over 3 years by TTP residents that there is no real local there.

Anybody know what this town house is going to be?

The foreign owner has renovated it outside in a Italian renaissance/Baroque kinda style with pillars and stucco features, put in a bar area, renovated indoors too. They've been working on it for months (6/7/8) and spent a lot of money.
It's looked finished for a long time to me, but no sign of it opening.
I'd guess it's going to be an Italian pizza restaurant modelled on Luigui's.

Anybody know?

I agree...but I reckon you'd need to go a little bigger than a hole in the wall like Quealy's, enough room for a pool table at least.

Seriously, I'd pull beers. Can you think of a better place for a chaplain to be?

Yeah, there is definitely a market but if you're going to do it make it a pub (not a bar, and definitely not a girlie bar) and make it soon.

Cheers. Thought so.
Be interesting to see how it does there. Wonder if that street/area will become like the area around Luigui's #1.

Agreed - we go to Quealys to see Jess, but it's gotta be hard to turn a dollar with limited stools. Had the best sausages and mash of my life there on Wednesday night, it was so good I did it again a little later in the night. Kept the good old boys from TOF amused for a while.

point taken about room for a pool table.

sc said ""Yeah, there is definitely a market but if you're going to do it make it a pub (not a bar, and definitely not a girlie bar) and make it soon.""

my thinking exactly.

i am temperamentally unsuited to owning girl bars.

Simple home style food not too expensive. cheap in fact.

The food Jess turns out is actually what got me thinking on these lines.

Charcoal grill, really decent brekkie without those thai chicken skin sausages. real bacon- not the yankee stuff.

Bit of BBQ pulled pork. I mean the real kind- not the crockpot style.
