After a day of exploring the stunning Angkor Wat temple complex and standing in awe at the incredible testament to Khmer culture, many backpackers choose to sample the local food from street vendors or down beers in Siem Reap’s famous Pub Street. Now new regulations may change that.
Siem Reap's nightlife scene comprises lively bars, cocktail lounges, international restaurants and vibrant nightclubs that stay open (and busy) until 04:00 every day. For backpackers, Pub Street in downtown Siem Reap is ideal for a night out of bar-hopping with like-minded travellers as its numerous bars are easily accessible on foot while unique cocktails and beers cost only US$1 (or less) during happy hour.
There are also plenty of five-star hotels with rooftop bars, lounges and pubs serving imported wines and liquors as well as authentic Khmer and international fare - perfect for affluent travellers looking to relax after a day of exploring Angkor Wat. From elegant colonial-era lounge bars to trendy nightclubs playing raucous dance tunes, our handy guide on what to do at night in Siem Reap caters to just about any preference and budget.
Siem Reap town isn’t really Cambodia anymore. At least, downtown Siem Reap isn’t. It’s full of foreign restaurants that are full of foreigners eating foreign food (even the ‘local’ food in the restaurants catering to foreigners is foreign, as it’s prepared with ingredients from Thailand and Vietnam), and drinking foreign drinks (apart from Cambodia’s beers, on which I really must do some extensive research for professional purposes very soon). It’s comforting in a way when Cambodia still, undeservedly, carries the mantle of being a little bit of an edgy, scary place to go, and you can’t really blame people for taking refuge in it.
Siem Reap offers a booming nightlife and bar scene stretching to near dawn these days, with the bars coming to life around dusk as people return from the day's touring, and the last few pubs and clubs closing as late as 4AM.
Bars and tippling venues are located across town but the center of the action is the Pub Street and Old Market area where many of the most popular bars and clubs are clustered over several square blocks.
Pub Street itself, Street 8, is at the heart of it, lined end to end with restaurants and bars including such well known places as Angkor What? Bar, Temple Club, Le Papier Tigre and Red Piano. The Pub Street area alleys as well as the surrounding street also harbor a variety of places - cocktail bars, expat and tourist pubs, eclectic little neighborhood places and more. The Pub Street area also has some of the latest running bars in town, including the Temple Club, Angkor What and X-Bar.
It's also worth checking out Sok San Street and the small streets around the Night Markets. A growing number of backpacker bars and unique little pubs have popped up in the area over the last year or two including places like Peace and Love, Relax Bar and Karma Bar.
