About
Pub Street is the entertainment district of Siem Reap, the town in Cambodia's Siem Reap Province that serves as the gateway to the temples of Angkor. It is a compact stretch of lanes where the evening life of the town gathers, and it draws many international visitors looking for a lively place to eat and unwind after a day of sightseeing.
What you will find
- Restaurants serving a wide range of food, from Khmer dishes to international menus.
- Bars that stay busy into the night and suit a relaxed drink with friends.
- Night markets where stalls sell souvenirs, clothing and handmade goods.
- Massage parlors, a popular way for visitors to rest tired feet and shoulders.
Planning a visit
Pub Street suits travellers who enjoy people-watching, an easy evening out and the buzz of a busy street. It works well as a starting or finishing point for a night in Siem Reap, and it sits within walking distance of many of the town's guesthouses and hotels. If you prefer quiet streets, you may find the crowds and noise more than you want, so it is worth knowing that before you go.
Because the district is centred on eating, drinking and shopping, it offers a different mood from the temple sites that bring most people to Siem Reap. Many visitors combine a day at Angkor with an evening here, letting the contrast between ancient stone and a lively street scene shape their trip.
