Pub Street Siem Reap is the nightlife hub of the town, featuring rows of backpacker-friendly bars and pubs, packed nightclubs and international restaurants. The street opens throughout the day and late into dawn. The main road – Street 08 – is where you can find the iconic bars and clubs and the liveliest atmosphere – they’re well-known for their US$0.50 draft beer offers.
Running parallel is Alley West and The Lane, each hosting cocktail bars, cafés, art galleries, and souvenir shops. A 5-minute stroll from Angkor Night Market, Pub Street is great for enjoying a night of bar-hopping in Siem Reap. The whole street is blocked to motorised vehicles from 5pm, making it safe to explore on foot at your own leisure.
Opened in 1998, Angkor What? was one of the first bars on Pub Street. It's still a very lively nightspot, with graffiti all over the walls. Thanks to its reputation, it's now frequented mostly by tourists who want to party at Angkor What? at least once after a day at the temples.
It gets loud and a bit raucous, but still a good place to meet people. The bar offers a comprehensive drinks menu and pool tables, and the prices are reasonable. You can find Angkor What? opposite the popular Temple Club.
