One of the city’s newest bars is also one of its best. Che Culo is an unassuming little bar/restaurant on St 302 in Phnom Penh’s ‘more-expensive-but-not-quite-upmarket’ suburb of BKK1.

A chilled-out spot with great music and a nice little courtyard, Che Culo is the perfect place for an after-work drink with friends or a pre-dinner drink or snack. However the menu is always changing and the food is so good that sometimes it is just too hard to move on.

What’s missing from a lot of great bars in Asia is a great publican. That is not an issue for Che Culo—the bar’s owner Nick (brains behind the bars fantastic menu and delicious drinks’ list) is a larger than life character, who is usually around to have a chat and make you feel very welcome.

Check the Che Culo Facebook page for regular specials like taco night, slow-cooked kebab night or the famous meatballs.

Why go?
Great small plates from a changing menu, great cocktails and a damn good vibe.
