Pub Street is the spine of Siem Reap’s nightlife. By 8pm, neon signs flicker above bars packed with backpackers, touts hand out flyers for pub crawls, and the scent of grilled corn and cheap beer fills the air. Angkor What? Bar, a ramshackle two-storey spot with graffiti-covered walls, kicks things off most nights with buckets of vodka-soda and a crowd that spills onto the pavement.
The hostel scene here is small but social. Most places cluster within a ten-minute walk of Pub Street, so you can roll out of bed and into a bar without breaking a sweat. One Stop Hostel sits right on the strip, while Onederz Hostel runs its own bar with pool tables and beer pong tournaments. If you’re travelling solo, you’ll find a crowd ready to swap stories: or shots: within hours of checking in.

How Siem Reap's nightlife zones break down
The epicentre of Siem Reap’s nightlife, this short stretch is packed with bars, street food stalls, and touts handing out flyers for pub crawls. By 9pm, the road is closed to traffic, and the pavement becomes a dance floor. It’s loud, chaotic, and impossible to escape if you’re staying nearby.
A quieter neighbourhood just east of the city centre, known for its budget guesthouses and local eateries. It’s a 15-minute walk from Pub Street, so you can still join the party but retreat to a peaceful spot when you’re done. The area has a few hidden bars and cafés popular with long-term expats.
A longer strip running north-south, lined with hostels, restaurants, and a few late-night bars. It’s less intense than Pub Street but still lively, with a mix of backpackers and locals. Onederz Hostel is here, and the area is a good base if you want to explore beyond the tourist bubble.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
The unofficial starting point for most pub crawls. This place is a maze of graffiti, mismatched furniture, and a balcony overlooking Pub Street. Happy hour runs until 8pm, with $0.50 beers and $3 buckets. By 9pm, the crowd is a mix of backpackers and expats, and the music shifts from reggae to cheesy pop anthems.
A rooftop bar with a view of the lit-up temples in the distance. It’s pricier than street-level spots: cocktails cost $4: but the atmosphere makes up for it. The crowd is slightly older, and the music leans toward house and R&B. Go early to snag a seat before the pub crawl groups arrive.
One of the few places that keeps the music going after midnight. It’s a small, sweaty space with a dance floor that gets packed by 11pm. Entry is free, but drinks cost $2–3. The crowd is mostly backpackers and a few locals looking to keep the party going.
A hostel bar that’s open to the public, with pool tables, beer pong, and a daily happy hour from 5pm to 7pm. The crowd is a mix of hostel guests and travellers who drop in for the cheap drinks ($1 beers) and games. It’s a solid spot to start the night before heading to Pub Street.
A side alley off Pub Street packed with tiny bars and street art. Each spot has its own vibe: some play live music, others offer fire shows or cheap shots. It’s less touristy than the main strip, and you’ll find a few hidden gems like Miss Wong Cocktail Bar, which serves $4 drinks in a 1930s Shanghai-inspired setting.
Not just a hostel but a nightlife hub. The bar stays open until midnight, with $1 beers and a crowd that’s always up for a party. They organise their own pub crawls, which hit 4–5 bars and include free shots. It’s right on Pub Street, so you’re never more than a minute from the next stop.
