I went to Harry’s tonight and it was pretty sad. Maybe just after Christmas but there were three foreigners looking sad, plus me. Staff were super friendly though.

That’s a shame. Yesterday, Harry’s was pretty busy. We went to the province today, back towards the weekend if you’re up for a beer and hello?

It's always like that. The premises are fine, the food is excellent and the staff are great but it seems to attract the most miserable patrons I've ever encountered in Phnom Penh.

Its probably those misarable patrons that drive others away.

OK, so it wasn't just me then.

There is massive overcapacity in PP's entertainment industry. I went to st 244 on Xmas Eve (Saturday night) at 8pm and the entire street was very quiet.
In Craft they had live music from a barang duo that was worthy of a much bigger venue. The interior was good quality seating and tables, an excellent range of beers. Food available.
And what did they get? A couple of barangs chain-smoking cigarettes and drinking cans of the cheapest beer.

Any place can be busy on an occasional basis but mostly they struggle.

One more to add - Bouchon on 174. They have regular live music and it's a lovely setting, being a complete old style villa.

Last time I was there they had a "DJ" (a foreign woman twiddling knobs). It was really loud and annoying so I left the dinner early.

I went to Larry’s tonight.

The good: the beer was ice cold, portion was huge, the music was OK.

The not so good: the young lady serving me food and drink was miserable, made me feel like I had dog shit on the soles of my shoes. The gravy with the schnitzel(! Gravy with a schnitzel is a sin all in itself) was absolutely awful and the oil the french fries were done in needs changing.

I saw Garage is still around but it was empty so I did not feel like going.

I think I have to try Palace Lane soon.
