Zeppelin was located at street 51 until it closed for relocation last week.
Decent place

Fox Bistro? Good God. That place is sterile and boring as hell.

Yeah that list is really aiming for the a specific crowd. Can't blame her that much as bars tend to cater to fairly specific demographics (though not as much here as in the west). I haven't been at every spot mentioned, but I personally find most of those places a bit boring and pretentious.

Is walkabout still alive? I heard it died in the ass.

as much as i hate to admit it, i was actually in there last night, my mate who's relocating from thailand to cambodia said he had never been and wanted to check it out, i did warn him, we stayed for one drink and didnt hang about, the place was busy, and still attracts the finest of crowds

I think you're right, number one Strange Fruit - "Strange Fruit is involved heavily in the LGBT scene of Phnom Penh, and has hosted various significant events including Pride Cambodia 2015." Don't think i'd even take my cat there

Agree there, if your looking for a wine bar I think Bouchon is streets ahead.


Le Moon Terrace Bar - fine if you are short of cash and don't want to buy a drink. Certainly the service must be the slowest in Phnom Penh
