Phnom Penh's Riverside is a useful starting point for dinner, drinks and a later visit to Street 136. The riverfront around Sisowath Quay and the nearby streets offer different settings, so decide whether you want a relaxed meal, a social bar or a full club before choosing your next stop.
Riverside and Street 136: how they fit together
Riverside describes the broader riverfront area; Street 136 is a specific street nearby. A riverfront table and a late-night club serve different parts of an evening. Start with the setting that suits your group, then move on when you are ready. Our Street 136 guide explains the immediate area around Charlie Chan's.
A simple evening route
- Begin with dinner: Choose somewhere convenient for your accommodation and the rest of your evening. Check the menu before sitting down.
- Choose your next atmosphere: Stay with a relaxed drink or head towards Street 136 for social bars and club entertainment.
- Keep the late finish optional: Decide how you will return before settling into another venue. Save your accommodation's location on your phone.
You do not need to cover every nightlife district in one night. Keeping your route compact gives you more time at the places you enjoy and makes it easier for friends to stay together.
When Charlie Chan's fits the plan
Charlie Chan's Club is at 42–44 Street 136, with free entry and opening hours of 8PM–5AM every night. The club has two stages, live DJs, dancers and hostesses, and VIP table service. The strongest dancing atmosphere is usually between 10PM and 3AM. See the club experience before deciding whether it suits your evening.
