This stylish hangout kick-started the hipster trend that is sweeping across Toul Tom Poung. The intimate two-floor bar is stocked full of whisky, craft beers, cocktails and wines, with food also served including toasties, starters and mains. A stylish place to be seen, with chilled beats in the background in the evenings.
Boasting a wide selection of craft brews on draft, Alchemy Gastropub is one of Toul Tom Poung’s hippest nightspots.

The second venture from the masterminds behind Long After Dark is Sundown Social Club, which injects a taste of Miami into the Cambodian capital. With a whole host of tiki cocktails, snacks, cider, real ales, wines and spirits on offer, Sundown Social Club exudes a totally different vibe to its sister on the other side of Russian Market. With a prime location overlooking the tin roofs of Russian Market, this is – as the name suggests – a great spot for sundowners.
Nestled in what is set to become Toul Tom Poung’s version of Bassac Lane is La Pétanque Bar.

There is also a pool table at the venue, as well as outdoor and sheltered seating.
A relatively recent addition to Toul Tom Poung’s rising collection of bars, O’ Tapas is also situated on the upcoming back street off Street 155.

Unless you’re 100% set on getting a tattoo and there’s no danger of having a few too many and indulging in a drunk inking you’ll regret the next day, then hanging at rock ‘n’ roll-themed pub Ink & Drink is a good way to spend your night. A happy hour runs from 2pm to 5pm on select drinks.
While Elly’s Bar & Grill focuses on food, it’s a great place for a tipple or two. Most weekends, live music can be found at the laid-back venue. Seafood buffets put in a frequent appearance, with a range of other dishes on the menu.
