When visiting Siem Reap, the Old Market (Phsar Chas) area, including Pub Street alleys, the Night Markets and the nearby Pub Street are favorites. The entire area, which stretches from the river across to the night markets on Sivutha Boulevard, is now the nightlife, shopping and dining center of town.
The focus shifts to Pub Street alleys and Pub Street including The Land, Alley West and the Passage after the sun goes down. Opening its door in 1998, Angkor What? Bar – the lone pub on a lonely street named for the numerous pubs that line Street 8. Lined end to end with shops, pubs and restaurants, the Pub Street is the tourist center of town, especially after dark.

Around 5.p.m since people return to town from the temples is when things really get going on Pub Street. This area turns into a pedestrian-only area as the street is blocked to motor traffic, the bars crank up the music and the curbside seating fills. A couple of the drinking venues run until near dawn while most of them stay open until at least midnight when you come to Tours in Cambodia

The narrow connecting passages and alleys of the Pub Street, each of which offers something of its own character, provides travelers with a relaxed, pedestrians-only alternative to the major street. With such an artsy, Old World atmosphere together with a couple of pubs, such as the popular Picasso, Alley West is a particularly quaint little alley. Although comparatively tranquil and pedestrian only, with several restaurants featuring full bars, the Passage, which is originally Pub Street Alley, is busiest of the bunch. On the other side of Pub Street, The Lane has a more eclectic and varied places to Beatlemania at The Yellow Sub from old China chic at Miss Wong’s.
