Best Rooftop Bars in Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh has a handful of genuine rooftop bars that earn the altitude: spots where the Mekong and Tonlé Sap confluence lights up at dusk and the breeze finally arrives. The best hold their standard past the golden hour: a consistent drink menu, decent bar food, and staff who don't disappear when it fills up. We've included the ones our Phnom Penh team goes back to for a sunset drink or a birthday, and skipped the hotel bars that charge sky-high prices for a mediocre view. Most are easiest to reach by Grab; arrive early on weekends if you want a seat with the view.
