Live Music
Phnom Penh boasts a surprisingly active music scene, with several talented expat and
mixed Khmer-expat bands.
Equinox
BAR
(3A St 278; 8am-late; )
At the heart of the action, this is a popular place with a lively
outdoor bar downstairs as well as bands upstairs from Thursday to Saturday. It works well
as just a bar on other nights.
Memphis Pub
LIVE MUSIC
( 023-871263; 3 St 118; 4pm-late, closed Sun)
It's not closed, it just has soundproof doors.
Memphis has a decent house cover band and frequently attracts more diverse acts. There's
an open-mic jam session on Monday night.
Slur
(28 St 172; 11am-2am)
Slur consistently draws some of Phnom Penh's best musical talent.
Worth stopping by to see who's on stage and throw back a Jägerbomb.
BAR
The Doors
(18 St 84; 7am-midnight; )
Self-described as a 'music and tapas' bar, the Doors is a
sophisticated place with a long bar, mouth-watering Spanish bites, expensive drinks and
classy live jazz, piano and more.
LIVE MUSIC
Sharky
(

; 126 St 130; 5pm-late)
An old-school Phnom Penh hangout long
famous for billiards and babes, Sharky's has done a good job of redirecting some of its fo-
cus towards quality live music.
