Map - Street 51
area, Phnom Penh,
Cambodia (click to enlarge)
Well after dark, Street 51 is the place to be. Anchored by the famous Walkabout Hotel, Shanghai and the Heart of Darkness bar, nearly a dozen bars and clubs and a couple of hotels are concentrated into a few blocks along Street 51. The Walkabout Hotel Bar and Restaurant is open 24/7 and a couple of other places open early, but most don’t open until the early evening, and by midnight the street is a flurry of bar hopping activity, especially on the weekends. A few places stay open till sunrise. Most bars on 51 sport pool tables and music and their own unique atmospheres...the Heart of Darkness with DJ’d music and dancing till late; the very popular Shanghai and other hostess bars; the famous Walkabout with a sports bar atmospheres; individual little ‘neighborhood bars’. For late night munchies check out the food carts opposite Howie Bar selling burgers, hot dogs, fries and other snacks until at least 4:00AM and don’t forget that the Walkabout Hotel restaurant has a 24 hour menu. |
