Pool tables in Phnom Penh

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.

I was going to post that the Plantation Hotel has a really lovely pool with great meals and cocktails.
Then I realised it's a different kind of pool.

But still, it's a nice spot.

I would play at Hops and Score bar mostly, but I would usually go in the afternoon hours so never was bothered by huge crowds or waiting for tables.

Way back would occasionally play at California (now Sundance Riverside) but with 1 table you would need to wait frequently. RIP to the one table at Tuk that nobody knew about for a quiet game. RIP to the upstairs at Walkabout that was empty and had a few tables.

I played at the Parrot - remember it seeming a bit too serious for me. I play because it goes well with beer, not because I am any good at it.

Liquid used to be good also. It was a bit of a hub before score existed, back when 282 was where the ngo crowd gathered to use Internet cafes etc. I noticed liquid is still there, and seemed busy as I passed the other night.

I take it by all these replies that they don’t have a pool hall in Phnom Penh like they do in Pattaya and Bangkok. I remember another thread about new business ideas, maybe?

There are pool halls around that cater to Khmer, though anyone can play. They usually have a lot of tables with nice young ladies to tend to your table.

Can't remember if they were pool or snooker.
