Phnom Penh Nightlife

The nightlife in Phnom Penh is pretty vibrant and there are a large number of bars from which to choose. There are only a couple of live music venues, although some of the international hotels have bands from the Philippines. DJs generally only perform at the weekend. Most nightlife happens along Sisowath Quay, on Street 104 and also on Street 51 between Streets 174 and 154.

Bars: The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Cambodia, Sisowath Quay, is a popular hangout with journalists, diplomats, travellers and the occasional movie star. The friendly Hope and Anchor, 213 Sisowath Quay, is also popular with expats and tourists. Other good options include Sharky Bar, 126 Street 130, and Walkabout Bar, open 24 hours, on the corner of Streets 174 and 51.

Clubs: Heart of Darkness, 26 Street 51, and Spark, Mao Tse Tung Boulevard, are both well-established venues.

Live Music: Memphis Pub, 3 Street 118, has live music most nights, and Miles Jazz Café, an intimate venue at 310 Street 113, has live jazz most evenings.
