    • Nightlife

    The casinos of Sihanoukville are among the city’s main attractions. While they are generally open 24 hours a day, they are at their busiest in the evenings when visitors who have been enjoying the beaches during the day are looking for something fun to do.

    There’s a lot of variety available, in terms of venues, from relatively small and simple betting offices to large, Las Vegas-style complexes. Gamblers can generally enjoy free snacks and drinks while playing on the slot machines or tables for baccarat, blackjack and other games.

    Five Men Fresh Beer

    Five Men Fresh Beer
    • Nightlife

    Something rather different from the usual beer bar, Five Men is actually a beer hall similar to those that you’d find in Germany. Relatively tame, by Sihanoukville nightlife standards, they often close before midnight.

    They make beer on-site, including a lager and a stout. Ordered as ‘white’ or ‘black’ respectively, they come in an iced glass and are very easy to drink. If you’re fond of craft ale, this might be the place for you.

    Otres Corner Beach Bar

    Otres Corner Beach Bar
    • Nightlife

    Besides being the liveliest beach bar on Otres 1 Beach, Otres Corner hosts the largest monthly full moon parties. While they’re significantly smaller than the world-famous events on Thailand’s Koh Phangan, they remain highly popular and can be a lot of fun.

    Expect live DJs, all-night cocktails from US$1.50 each, fire shows and more until the early morning. For the rest of the month, Otres Corner is actually quite peaceful, with movie nights, board game evenings and a generally relaxed vibe.
