I really like this bar. Very friendly and the best cocktails I've had here. Worth the money. A good atmosphere. I'll be back every time I'm in Cambodia.

Absolutely the most horrific experience I’ve ever had at a gay bar. The staff and dancers are lovely and innocent. The owner/DJ is a psychopath, no exaggeration. I requested Whitney, and he originally said ok but only if I buy him a drink. Ummm no. He ended up playing the song which I liked but then said I owed him a drink. I said patrons shouldn’t have to pay for a music request. It escalated quickly and he threw a full drink not once but twice in my face. When I said I shouldn’t pay since he threw multiple drinks in my face he literally drew a bottle out of the cooler and threatened to smash it on me. I paid my full bill out of fear and burst into tears. Never in all my travels of 55 countries have I felt so unsafe and uncomfortable. The owner of this establishment is a horrible human being. The workers are lovely and collateral damage. By far my most horrible experience in my 3 years abroad. Response to owner: I was not rude to the staff or any customers. They were all helping me when you decided to throw 2 drinks in my face. I only used bad words when you were being extremely rude to me and demanding I buy you, the owner who can drink for free, a drink for playing a song. Even still there’s no excuse for an owner to throw 2 drinks in a patron’s face and threaten them with violence. Absolutely disgusting behavior. I would report it to the police if I thought it would make a difference.

Very friendly and reasonable prices. The act makes it worthwhile although at other times it can feel very quiet and parochial for a weekend night.

Wish I could give more stars. We went every single night we were in Phnom Penh. Some of the highest standard shows I’ve ever seen. Amazing staff. Really welcoming. Full of Cambodians - as it should be, of course! But tourists welcome, mostly because everyone there is so bloody lovely. We really found a home away from home here!

Scam alert. Given a menu, and ordered a Singha beer. See attached pic of menu. Asked for the bill and the price was 33% higher (see pic). When questioned the waiter said that there was a “new price”. What stupidity. I would have visited this bar numerous times over the following two weeks. Now I’ll never return. When you scam, you only get one shot. You had your shot.
