Club like Pontoon in HCMC?

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

It has changed a fair bit over the years. First time I went, it was a hole in the wall with punters sitting on sandbags. Had a few sunrises in there but then they cracked down on closing times. No idea what it is like now.

When did that happen? Granted it's been a couple of years since I bothered with the place but I didn't think that aspect would likely ever disappear. Or are you just taking the piss?

yes it appears that bar has been there forever

reviews suggest it is very similar to Pontoon, so if there are no freelancers then what's the setup? Guess I'll find out soon enough :D
