Hanging out in Phnom Penh - Cambodia

While Cambodia is well known for it's bloody history, it has also grown a reputation for booze, girls and much more. However, as times change there are some cool and funky places to hang out and enjoy a cold beer, cocktail or a freshly made fruit shake. Be cool, be hip and wrap your lips around a glass at one of these places!

Foreign Correspondents Club - 363 Sisowarth Quay
.

With stunning views of the Ton Le Sap River and cool afternoon breezes, the FCC is the ideal hang out. Set in a stunning old french building, this place is one of those joints everyone visits, and with good reason! With two levels, there is plenty of room to enjoy a sunset drink, take in the view and even try out some of the tastey food on offer. Dishes include a full range of western tucker, some khmer food, tapa's and wood fire pizza's.

When the sun sets, make sure you duck out the back. You'll get a great view of the sun setting behind the Palace (see image - left)

Pontoon Lounge - On the river at the end of Street 108 (oppostise night market)

This floating bar is not only a cool place to been seen, but it's a great place to drink! Set on the water, you have uninterrupted views along the Ton Le Sap River along with DJ's pumping out your fav tracks. Along with a good sized dance floor, there are comfy lounges spread around for you to relax. There is also a great cafe here if you get the munchies.

So iron up the safri suit, polish up the dancing shoes and slick back the hair.............Pontoon is open late!

Green Vespa - 95 Sisowarth Quay

.
Really enjoy visiting this place, chilled out place with good music and cold beer! Great place to kick back with friends, chat and have a couple of coldies. Very nice western food here aswell.

Sharky's - 126 Street 130

.
Sharky's is probably best known for the fact that tons of "working" girls hang out here and while it's not the place I would take my Mum, it's diffinently a great place to have a few drinks. The food is very good, pool tables a plenty and the big screens scattered around the place make it the ideal place to watch the footy. Hassle free bar where you can chill out and watch your fav sport.

Sisowarth Quay

Running along the Tonle Sap River is Sisowarth Quay and along here you will find tons of great places to enjoy a drink, get a feed and just chill out. Cambodia is a country that is changing fast, and bars come and go as quick as the sun!! So wonder the strip and enjoy!
