Pub Street is short, maybe three hundred metres end to end, but it packs in more pub crawl operators per square metre than anywhere else in Southeast Asia. The ones worth joining start at Angkor What? Bar on the strip and move fast, hitting Temple Balcony before the rooftop fills up. The ones to skip hand you a bucket of vodka-soda and leave you standing in the same spot all night.
Pub Street, running between Sivatha Boulevard and the Night Market, is three hundred metres of bars stacked against each other. The crowd is almost entirely tourists and backpackers; local Cambodians are rarely in the bar circuit at this end of town. After 11pm the outdoor seating disappears and the volume goes up. Shadow Angkor, Red Piano, and Angkor What? Bar are the anchors.
Happy hour runs at most bars on Pub Street until 9pm: draft Angkor beer at $0.50 and cocktails at $2 to $3. After happy hour, draft beer climbs to $1.50 to $2.50 and cocktails to $4 to $6. There are no cover charges on Pub Street itself. Budget $15 to $25 for a full night: happy hour drinks, bar food if you want it, and four rounds across three venues. Prices verified April 2026.
Wednesday and Friday are the two nights the main crawls run, but Saturday is when Pub Street runs at capacity regardless. Tuesday is dead. The better call for atmosphere without shoulder-to-shoulder crowds is Wednesday: the bars are full enough to feel alive, the terrace spots are claimable, and the noise level is still human.
This crawl starts at Angkor What? Bar at 7pm and hits 4–5 spots on Pub Street, including Temple Balcony and Late Night Bar. The price includes a free shot at each stop, a welcome drink, and discounts on buckets. The crowd is mostly backpackers, and the organisers keep the energy high with drinking games and group shots.
Check availabilityA high-energy crawl that starts with a free cocktail and a Mad Monkey T-shirt. The tour includes a traditional Khmer meal, free shots, and two draught beers at the end. It visits 3–4 bars, all within walking distance of Pub Street, and finishes at a club if the group wants to keep going. The crowd is young and rowdy: expect beer pong and dancing on tables.

Two crawls dominate the market. The Siem Reap Pub Crawl runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at $10 per person, meeting at Angkor What? Bar at 7pm, covering four to five stops with a shot at each. The Mad Monkey crawl runs every night at $12 and includes a traditional Khmer meal alongside the free shots and two draught beers at the end. Both are cheap by any standard. The hostels match: Mad Monkey beds start at under €1, Lub d Cambodia sits at €6.84 for the top-rated option. Drinks on Pub Street run $0.50 for a beer, $3 for a bucket.
Wednesday. The Siem Reap Pub Crawl runs, the midweek crowd is smaller than weekends, and Angkor What? Bar's balcony is actually claimable. By Friday the street outside Late Night Bar is impassable.
Upcoming events worth timing your trip around.
Seven people, a bucket of something bright blue, and the Angkor What? Bar balcony. That is what a Wednesday night in Siem Reap looks like.
Mad Monkey Siem Reap (rated 9.5, from under €1) sits close enough to Pub Street that the walk is two minutes. Lub d Cambodia scores 9.6 and runs a cleaner, quieter operation, same ten-minute radius. See our pick of the best party hostels in Siem Reap.
