Street 308

Where: Bassac Lane, south of Independence Monument, just off Norodom Boulevard Closing hours: Most bars in the area close at 23:00 out of respect for their neighbours Happy hours: 17:00 – 19:00  Street 308 is Phnom Penh’s latest hot spot, with new bars and restaurants opening regularly. Five themed “micro bars” in the middle of it all offer a very cool vibe in each bar. They each have a small speciality drinks menu, mostly of cocktails, but you can order your favourite even if it’s not on the menu. Check the Library for daiquiris, Hangar 44 for manly cocktails and custom motorbikes, or Seibur for aperitifs. Also on street 308, Chez Flo serves plates of French cheese and charcuterie (shipped directly from France) with wines or beers to match. The more established Red Bar is a cheaper option, relaxed and always busy at the entrance of the street. With the 23:00 curfew for most venues, this is an ideal way to kick off the night before moving on.
