Linga Bar is the epicenter of Siem Reap's gay scene and a pleasant escape from the noisy straight bars on nearby Pub St. Utopia Member Discount

Comments from Utopians:

"Linga Bar is a one-stop nightlife venue with good crowd, lovely decoration and friendly staff. The seating outside is the main attraction." -- bbox, Aug 6, 2010

"Went to Linga Bar every night I was in Siem Reap (week nights are busy as well). Crowd starts around 9pm til around 11pm. Afterwards folks head to clubs, but you should definitely start the night at Linga Bar." -- newcankor, Jan 29, 2010

Miss Wong Cocktail Bar Utopia Map, 092-428-332, email. On The Lane, parallel to Pub St. Straight-friendly gay bar. If beer girls, big-screen TVs and pitchers on tap are not exactly your style, then head to Miss Wong for a taste of vintage Shanghai. The cherry-red lanterns that dangle from the doorway beckon passersby to this hidden gem. Inside, slip into one of the intimate leather booths for an Indochine Martini (premium vodka and ginger cognac infused with fresh pineapple). The fabulous interior is part Chinatown, part retro-kitch nod to the camp 50s art of Vladimir Tretchikoff, whose portrait of Miss Wong herself hangs in place of privilege (sorry Madame Mao!). The cute staff, thirst-quenching cocktails and conversation-friendly volume of the music make this arty bar wonderfully cozy and romantic. All of the town's hip, gay expats hang here at some point during the week. Owner and bon vivant, Dean, is one of Siem Reap's wonders. You will no doubt be drawn back again and again to the magic world of Miss Wong. Utopia Member Discount

  Comments from Utopians:

  "Newly opened so-called gay club near Miss Wong in one of the alleys at Pub St. the name of the club is Heart Rock.. hahah... A lot of young, cute Cambodians there sipping beer and moving their bodies following the RnB music. Overall it's OK. I still prefer to go to Pyramid Club or Zone One to round out the night." -- b1shonen, Apr 9, 2010

  "I have noticed for the past few months that Pyramid Club has become sort of a gay club every Sat night. Quite a number of young Cambodian gays are there either for drinks or cruising. They are not that afraid to show some affection, even on the dance floor. Some try to flirt with you and follow you to the facilities. I saw some shemales there as well...so it's worth a try." -- b1shonen, Dec 20, 2009
