Sihanoukville Bars
Speedpool Competition at the Golden Lion Plaza
Sunday, July 6th, 2008Seems that the owners of the bars over at the Golden Lion Plaza are working hard to attract the ‘low season’ crowds. Just this week I’ve attended two great nights at the Plaza.
The latest event was last saturdays ‘Speedpool’ competition. Since moving to Sihanoukville, it’s been hard to avoid the Pool Tables, most bars have [...]
Sihanoukville Crab Racing Association
Sunday, July 6th, 2008The inaugural meeting of the Sihanoukville Crab Racing Association was held last wednesday at the Golden Lion Plaza, specifically Plastic Paddy’s and The Shipwreck Bar.
I was ‘reliably’ informed that many months of training has gone into the preparation of these specially bred Racing Crabs and it was obvious by the dedication of many of the [...]
Cambodian Night @ the Freedom Bar & Hotel
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Live music seems to be the order of the day here in Sihanoukville, with the Freedom Bar and Hotel staging an alternative to their semi-regular Route 66 nights.
Last weeked they had a Sihanoukville based Cambodia band on stage, Red Hair. This made a pleasant change for me as i’m not really a fan of American [...]
X Makeena give a great performance at Pocoloco
Saturday, June 21st, 2008I wasn’t too sure what to expect when I visited the Pocoloco, Sihanoukville, to see X Makeena. The French band who, reportedly, successfully blend ‘Hip Hop’ and ‘Drum and Bass’ music, neither of which are particular favourites of mine. However, I must say that I was ‘blown away’ by their stage act.
Most of the bands [...]

Fishermans Den, Sihanoukville
Sunday, May 4th, 2008The Fishermans Den was one of the first Bars to be established in Sihanoukville and it’s with regret that I have to inform you that this Rooftop bar will soon be no more. The good news however, is that Brian, Toy and the rest of the crew will very quickly be establishing their new Fishermans [...]
Hard Rock Bar, Sihanoukville, Cambodia
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008The Hard Rock is one of the newly opened bars in Sihanoukville. This Finnish owned bar is already proving to be a ‘hit’ with locals and visitors alike.
Since its opening on the 16th March 2008, the Hard Rock Bar has picked up a loyal following amongst the local expats and visitors to Sihanoukville. This is [...]
The Freedom Bar, Sihanoukville, Cambodia
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008The Freedom Bar in Sihanoukville is one of the best known Bars & Guesthouses in town. Being centrally located and right opposite the Bus Station means that it’s probably one of the first establishments that visitors to Sihanoukville see. As such, it’s often used as a reference point to direct Tuk Tuks and Motorcycle Taxi’s. [...]
Fun at the Pocoloco
Friday, February 29th, 2008I remember the Pocoloco Bar from my first trip here to Sihanoukville, I liked the place then, but having spent one month in the town I can honestly say that this is now my favourite bar.
I’ve met a couple of the partners involved and they’ve talked about their future plans for Pocoloco, seems to me [...]
Bonobo Bar, Victory Hill, Sihanoukville
Thursday, February 28th, 2008There seems to be more and more bars cropping up on Victory Hill, one of the first I found was the Bonobo Bar, this was on my first trip here early in 2007.
Much has changed in the town, but much has changed in this bar too. Yes, the girls are still friendly and the same [...]
