You can try Lonestar Bar on street 23 (between 172 and 154, just east on Norodom) for the State of Origin games. I know lots of Aussies in there and they will definitely watch it. It has air con and on Sunday they have home smoked ribs on special, I think it's $7.5 including a beer, they are very good.

As for AFL, they aren't into that much, try Front Bar on street 118, they always have it on. There's no AC, but a great crowd and all beer - draught, can or bottle- is $1, all day and all night.

That doesn't make any sense. The margins on that are extremely different

for state of origin, Riverside Sundance is good although there's not a lot of room at the bar but they have put in new TVs I believe. The volume isn't always high enough but they will turn it up by request.

For afl, you could try Phnom Penh Ping-Pong Palladium

It's a definite. It's not cold the Riverside anymore. It's Bar Oz

I know, but it's true. I am only talking about domestic beer, Cambodia is the draught, I drink the cans and the bottles are $1 also. The Hunaman beer was/is also $1 a bottle which is popular but I think the suppliers are trying to ramp up their prices so that may not last much longer.

I assume any foreign beer will be more but I have never seen anyone ordering anything like that.

It would be nice to get a pint of real pint of draft bitter, such likes of Boddington, or the creamy Worthington's and London Pride.

You can get Boddingtons in Cambodia, they are 440ml cans. Harry's had a couple of cases but nobody bought them so they were dropped.
