Drinking & Nightlife
Phnom Penh has some great bars and clubs and it's definitely worth planning at least one
big night on the town.
Many venues are clustered around the intersection of St 51 and St 172, where seem-
ingly everybody ends up late at night. Golden St (St 278) is popular, and the riverfront
also has its share of bars. Two-for-one happy hours are a big thing in Phnom Penh so it
pays to get started early.

, a roving party of sorts that promotes gigs for various electro troupes in Ph-
nom Penh and beyond.

BAR
(Foreign Correspondents' Club; 363 Sisowath Quay; 6am-midnight; )
A Phnom Penh institu-
tion, the 'F' is housed in a colonial gem with great views and cool breezes. One of those
must-see places in Cambodia, almost everyone swings by for a drink - happy hours are
5pm to 7pm and 10pm to midnight. If the main bar is too crowded, head up to the rooftop,
which often sees live music at weekends.
