Drinking
There's no shortage of venues to quaff locally brewed Angkor Beer, available on draught
for as little as US$0.50. Some of the aformentioned guesthouses have lively bars, including
Monkey Republic (happy hour 6pm to 9pm), The Big Easy (sport and live music) and he-
donistic Utopia, with regular US$0.25 beer promotions: yes, that does equal 20 beers for
US$5.
Occheuteal Beach is lined with beach bars that are perfect for sundowners, although the
beggars on Occheuteal are particularly active at sunset. Hit Serendipity Beach for a more
laid-back scene, although the resorts here just miss the sunset. The late-night action is sea-
side around the pier dividing Occheuteal and Serendipity beaches.
The alternative Occheuteal for single gentlemen and those wanting an unplanned bar
crawl are the bar courts of Golden Lions Plaza and Sihanoukville Square, but most places
are heavy on hostesses and light on atmosphere.
A few longstanding regular bars remain amid the hostess bars of Victory Hill, but the
overall impression is Sinville rather than the more relaxed beach vibe of Sihanoukville.
Otres Beach has a good selection of beach bar-restaurants, some of which rumble on into
the night.
Led Zephyr
(road to Serendipity; 7am-midnight)
Sihanoukville's premier live-music venue; the house
band (and friends from time to time) are rockin' here most nights. Covers include many of
the big anthems from the '60s to '80s and a bit of Chili Peppers thrown in for good meas-
ure.
LIVE MUSIC, BAR
Maybe Later
(Serendipity St; 5pm-2am)
A popular little Mexican taqueria that doubles as a late-night bar
in the Serendipity area, it has top margaritas and some refined tequilas for those who prefer
sips to shots. It's a civilised escape from the beachside party scene.
