DV8 Bar & Guesthouse: Love the Phnom Penh nightlife
dv8inpp profile photo

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

dv8inpp 7 reviews

3 years of living in Phnom Penh, not a city I would have thought would have an exciting nightlife but although it's small it is vibrant. Heres'a run down on some of the nightlife in Phnom Penh.

Phnom Penh's Nightlife is spread across the city, there are many small hole in the wall bars and a few bigger bars. The nightlife is split into Asian and Western bars and dance clubs. The western bars and clubs fit into the middle of the market. Some of the bigger Asian bars and clubs are 4 to 5 times bigger than the biggest Western bars and clubs. There are many small bars aimed at the western market, people buy bars and most do little with them. They are usually devoid of customers most of the time but with rents being so cheap it's not much more expensive than having an apartment here.

If you are looking for the nightlife in Phnom Penh you can pickup a copy of the Pocket Guide or the Bayon Pearnik. Alternatively you can just go to the bars I do. Firstly Phnom Penh's nightlife doesn't really start until about 10:30 pm. Prior to that it's just drinking in some of the smaller bars. So here's my guide to the nightlife in Phnom Penh, now I should mention I like looking at beautiful women so I tend to visit that style of bar.

Phnom Penh Nightlife - Early Evening. Early evening 6pm to 9pm visit OneZeroFour, Cavern Pub or Shanghai. Now some of you might ask why I don't go to Sharkies, basically it's a money thing, all the bars I go to early in the evening have $1 beers. The late night bars like Martinis and Heart of Darkness have $2 beers. However Sharkies does have a lot of freelance girls in the bar and has very good food and they do have drink specials on different days.

OneZeroFour is a small low key hostess bar located on street 104.

It's a relaxed bar with friendly staff, good music (over 150,000 songs) and cheap drinks.

The bar is popular with expats and tourists and food is available until midnight.

There is a foosball table downstairs and a pool table upstairs.

Nightlife in Phnom Penh is pretty vibrant and there are a large number of bars to choose from. There are only a few live music venues, although some of the international hotels have bands from the Philippines. Most nightlife in Phnom Penh can be found along Sisowath Quay, on Street 104 and also on Street 51 between Streets 174 and 154, known as The Strip.

This five-star hotel & entertainment complex is only 30 minutes from the Phnom Penh International Airport. Showcasing an ancient Khmer style, the hotel’s interior and guestrooms are adorned with traditional motifs including the gracious stone-carved Apsara, a highly revered female angel in ancient Khmer mythology. The Nagaworld Cambodia’s on-site casino, located at a separate wing of the hotel, is complete with various gaming halls, live music and first-rate service.

Zeppelin bar.: Laid back bar with vinyl records.

Zeppelin bar in Phnom Penh.

The zeppelin bar is a tiny little bar located in 51st street next to quite a few establishments that are not very good in my opinion.
But Zeppelin bar holds water any day.
Lovely little hole in the wall bar with a cambodian DJ playing classic rock music on old vinyl recods until the wee hours.
this is a place where people go if they want to listen to good music, drink resonably priced beer in a place with a good vibe, while avoiding the prostitute scene that is quite big in that part of Phnom Penh.
I personally always pay a visit to that bar when i am in town as it´s a real treat.

The Elephant Bar: Drinks, food, atmosphere

The Elephant Bar
2 more images

The Elephant Bar at the Raffles Le Royal Hotel is one of the nicest bars I have visited. The bar itself is cosy, elegant and full of the ambience of yesteryear.

There are frescos on the upper walls of elephant scenes and the red/gold tones of the furnishings and ambient lighting really add warmth and style.

The staff and service are excellent, as you'd expect at a 5 star hotel.

You are served with complementary tapioca chips with tomato salsa and peanuts with your drinks, but you can order food from the menu which is all delicious. I really liked the samosas and chicken satay.

Dress Code: The dress code is casual, but I would keep it to a certain standard, as it is a 5 star hotel.

Riverside bars/girlie bars: Between streets 110 & 154

Willettsworld 8151 reviews

There's plenty of cafes, bars and girlie bars either along the riverside (Sisowath Quay) or the small streets that lead off it. Most of them are congregated between Street 110 and Street 154 so take your pick!

T3 Club: Wanna be cool?

T3 Club

So if you really wanna be cool and if you wanna spend $3.50 for a beer (but shots start at $1.50), you have to go there. It's a quite big western-style disco with music playing everything from Ice-Ice-Baby to Techno. Staff is very attentive and communicates via walkie-talkie. There's a separated entrance area where it is quieter, with a little bar and some pool tables. Centrally located and hard to miss because of the neon lights. I was there on wednesday, it wasn't very crowded and I didn't see any foreigners and (therefore) no hookers.
T3 Club even entertains you with Cooktails! If you're interested, you can watch my short video.

Well after visiting many bars we finally ended up here at the Pontoon Lounge.

Though I have no memory at all of being here, just photos to prove it. (well it was my 50th birthday).

How I managed to get there without falling into the Tonle Sap is beyond me!

Anyway from what I was told it’s a reasonably new place, an open air café by day and a fun lounge/bar by night.

They also have a DJ Fridays and Saturdays.

Shame I can't remember the place, never mind I will check it out again this year!!

Pontoon Lounge is on the Riverfront at the end of Street 108
