I'm not sure if it's called Duplex Sky Bar, Duplex Bar, Duplex Cafe, Duplex Restaurant or Duplex Nightclub.

Either way, I hear it's brought to us by Pontoon, which is a dance club in Phnom Penh if you didn't know already. Sounds like this place will have international DJs too. And even Kombucha Tea! !

Has anyone been?











Duplex
No 3 St.278, WAT LANGKA, BKK 1, PHNOM PENH, Cambodia


Duplex is a new fancy venue in Phnom Penh that will be the new favorite for many people. No spared costs when this was developed. Stunning decoration that get you in the party mood.

Duplex Cafe, on the ground floor, serves fresh, healthy, creative food; as well as fresh juices, smoothies, cocktails, draught beers and other special beverages, in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

Duplex Cafe is open every day, from 11am till late night, with weekdays “Happy Hours” from 4pm to 7pm. It is a cool place to chill-out, grab some healthy food, and hang-around friends and drinks. But Home/Office delivery options are also available, for your convenience.

Duplex Bar, on the first floor, is opened daily from 9pm to 2.30am. It is the place to go to for a (few) drink(s) and party; or before you go hitting the nightclubs. Duplex Bar regularly hosts some of Phnom Penh’s most respected and talented DJs. The music is eclectic, the philosophy is simple: We play the best of everything from House to Hip Hop to Alternative Music.

With brand new professional sound system and DJ equipment, Duplex Bar offers a superior, and much needed venue for sound lovers in the hearth of Wat Langka/BKK1.

DJ Illest was telling me on FB that the idea of Duplex Club n Bistro was 1-A spot to pre-game before heading to Pontoon or the all night spots. 2- a focus on good food.

I tried it, it was not too busy, mainly expats, prices about the same as Pontoon.

I much prefer Pontoon

Fark... if thats the clientele..... forget it.... i wanna see some khmer attractive faces... not some fat ass ngo barangs.

indeed, just look at the photo above, who's going to fuck those desperate NGO ladies ?

as for the concept of pre-disco/disco/whatever : more bullshit !

if you're an attractive guy you won't need any of the above, some girls will send you "signals" and unless you're a moron you'll play your cards and you will kiss her and ultimately end up in bed with her or at least exchange phone numbers and meet her for a second date, in any case you'll have options and no need to waste even half a dollar in bars or clubs.

if instead you're not attractive, well sorry but you can go in all the bars and clubs of PP, you can spend 1000s of dollars in drinks, and ultimately you'll be left with your dick in you hand !

however, being in PP you'll have the option of going with bargirls, freelancers, and gold diggers.
in any case you'll have to pay to play and you'll be just a walking ATM.

that's it .. i feel pity for these deluded guys who waste all their hard earned bucks in bars and clubs, without them the whole industry would cease to exist.

how's that any different from running a hostess bar in the end ? nobody would go in bars and clubs with no girls inside.
and girls go in bars and clubs because they know it's full of suckers willing to offer drinks and give them attention and feed their self esteem.

actually these desperate NGO girls are even seeking a proper boyfriend, in Pontoon or HoD, of all places !
i really wonder how can they hope to compete with the local khmer girls, it says it all about how much these western whales are full of shit, arrogant, and expecting guys to sweep them off their feet.

It looks like an extension of the 'NGO Bubble' - surprised they're not each shouting at Skype on their iProduct...

I've seen it but I hate that whole street (except Samaki) with a passion so won't be going in anytime soon.

I'll be checking it out!

The more women from all over the better!

Me and tim bought a bottle at pontoon for his birthday. Some good looking euro trash girls came over started chatting with us. It was a nice change. Offered them a few drinks and to dance. Before you know it. Bottle gone...there avoiding us and left us 1 digit short of a phone number. ....Tim turns to me and says. Are you sure you miss white girls? I guess not my friend....I guess not. Good! Now let's go cruise stung meanchy for short time enjoy.

Went to Duplex for a short while one night a few weeks ago, not a bad set-up, but not my scene tbh...too many NGO'er, voluntourist, hipster types for my liking.
