Angkor What? Bar
Angkor What? Bar is Pub Street's longest-running institution, famous for its 50-cent draft beers and its role as the starting point for every backpacker night in Siem Reap. The bar's name is its philosophy: irreverent, cheap, and unapologetic. The music is loud, the drinks are cheap, and the crowd is every nationality you can imagine. By midnight, the dance floor upstairs becomes a sweaty, joyful chaos.
What to Expect
The quintessential backpacker bar. Cheap drinks, loud music, and international chaos. Not cultural, not sophisticated. Just fun.
Cheap, loud, and chaotically fun.

Other Venues in Pub Street
Temple Club
Large multi-level venue with a ground-floor restaurant, upstairs bar, and a packed dance floor. Free entry most nights with commercial dance and hip-hop from resident DJs.
Miss Wong
1930s Shanghai-inspired cocktail bar down The Lane, just off Pub Street. Well-crafted drinks in a dimly lit, intimate setting at mid-range prices. One of Siem Reap's few genuinely sophisticated bars.
X Bar
Rooftop bar and club with open-air views over the old market area. Regular DJ nights, fire shows, and a pool table draw a younger backpacker crowd that stays until sunrise.
Laundry Bar
Compact, music-focused bar with rotating DJ sets leaning toward house and funk. Starts mellow in the early evening and builds to a full dance party after midnight.
Banana Bar
Open-front Pub Street fixture serving fruit shakes alongside beer towers. A casual people-watching spot early on that turns into a loud, standing-room-only party by 11 PM.
