Top Banana
(9 St 278)
There's no question where the top backpacker party spot in Phnom Penh is. The
rooftop bar of this guesthouse goes off practically every night of the week - sometimes
with spontaneous dancing into the wee hours.
BAR
Howie Bar
(32 St 51; 7pm-6am)
Friendly, fun and unpredictable, 'way-cool' Howie is the perfect
spillover when the famous Heart of Darkness is packed.
BAR
Zeppelin Café
(109 St 51; 6.30pm-late)
Who says vinyl is dead? It lives on in the Cambodian capital,
thanks to the owner of this old-school rock bar manning the turntables every night.
BAR
Eighty8 Backpackers
(98 St 88)
A well-stocked, perfectly oval bar commands the courtyard of this villa-like
hostel. Great tunes, great ambience and regular first-Friday parties see the expat and back-
packer worlds collide.
BAR
Rainbow Bar
(134 St 136)
Phnom Penh's friendliest, most laid-back gay bar, with a 10pm drag show
every night.
BAR
Dusk Till Dawn
(46 St 172)
Also known as Reggae Bar because of the clientele and the music, the rooftop
setting makes it a great spot for a sundowner, but the party lasts well into the evening.
Ride the lift to the top floor in the tall building opposite Pontoon.
