10 of the Best Cocktail Bars in Phnom Penh
Re: 10 of the Best Cocktail Bars in Phnom Penh
No girls at least in the one I visited (Sora Sky bar, Prei, Elephant Bar) all the bars listed in this post have a different orientation.

Re: 10 of the Best Cocktail Bars in Phnom Penh
On the rare occasion I fancy a cocktail, I go to Oscar's on 104. Top quality cocktails nicely presented and at very reasonable prices. No skimping on the ingredients. Free live music after 10pm.
In the bar trade globally, I believe cocktails are generally seen as a good moneymaker, especially where labour is cheap. The markup on the ingredients s high and it's easy to skimp or substitute ingredients.

here are all the websites that have the Sora Sky Bar photo on their website.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 10:48 amI removed some of the text and added your link at the end of every paragraph.

Great article, and feel free to post any other articles you write that would be of interest to expats in Cambodia (with a valuable link, of course) here on CEO in any format/style you like!
I didnt check the others given the extensive list of websites using the first photo I checked.

These are cocktail bars, why the hell would you expect you could molest the staff? Have some decorum.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I’d never considered the etymology of the word cocktail before. From wikip
Liberman summarizes as follows:[17]
It was customary to dock the tails of horses that were not thoroughbred [...] They were called cocktailed horses, later simply cocktails. By extension, the word cocktail was applied to a vulgar, ill-bred person raised above his station, assuming the position of a gentleman but deficient in gentlemanly breeding. [...] Of importance [in the 1806 citation above] is [...] the mention of water as an ingredient. [...] Låftman concluded that cocktail was an acceptable alcoholic drink, but diluted, not a "purebred", a thing "raised above its station". Hence the highly appropriate slang word used earlier about inferior horses and sham gentlemen.
Cocktail historian David Wondrich also speculates that "cocktail" is a reference to gingering, a practice for perking up an old horse by means of a ginger suppository so that the animal would "cock its tail up and be frisky."[18]
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

So everybody stop feigning refinement. A cocktail wasn't always a posh drink. As Liberman summarised and look at the rootage myself: randy horses such as stallions and mares in estrous have their tails up. 'Cock your tail up' became an expression, and a frisky drink made by mixing the bottles dregs came to be called a cocktail. Get some beer down your neck.violet wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2023 3:41 am I’d never considered the etymology of the word cocktail before. From wikip

NB I have barfined a girl from... zero cocktail bars and never had a decent pint of draught in one.
BTW anyone know the going rate for a barfine in these sorts of places?

Re: 10 of the Best Cocktail Bars in Phnom Penh
Please keep the bar fine silliness in some other thread. The cocktail bars mentioned here aren't girl bars. Many of them do a mighty fine cocktail though.
For me uniga in the very back of the basaac lane alley and the most creative but also delicious ones from the half of the list I've been to.
