POC Bar

1) A patron wouldnt stop physically molesting me all night, and the staff refused to do anything about it. This guy was actively bouncing between 3-5 different guys doing the exact same thing to all of us. When I asked the staff for help, they said oh hes just a regular. And then they did nothing about him repeatedly grabbing my junk, twisting my nipples, trying to put his hand in my pants, following me to the bathroom, and repeatedly taking my drinks out of my hand taking my drinks out of sight and then giving them back to me. I just bought a new drink the first time it happened, but when it all kept happening, I just left. The touching didnt scare me as much bc... well I'm no stranger to a bathhouse or drunk dudes, but at the end of the day, the staff did not care that they had a blatant predator making everyone visibly uncomfortable. 2) this bar is for cheap old white guys who want the gogo dancer's attention like they're "Daddy," but they are not going to tip anyone all night. Why does that matter to all patrons? Bc this tiny bar has 20+ employees even on dead nights, and they all treat you like a walking wallet. If thats your thing, then maybe theyll go to the upstairs massage parlor with you. It just wasnt my vibe. The employees are kind, but its exhausting to experience. I like to tip, even just for a little conversation. I respect the hustle. But this was genuinely overstimulating. I wanted to have fun, chat up strangers, watch some drag, and see what the local scene was like. I left feeling completely dehumanized. Ive been to some bad bars that I would go back to in a heartbeat. This is not one of them. EDIT: between the frequent 1-star reviews & managements repeated, immature, victim-blaming responses to them, travelers might be worried that the Phnom Penh scene just isnt for them. Dont worry! Phnom Penh is actually chill ah. Go to Blue Chili before midnight & Heart of Darkness after midnight. Both have better drag, drinks, vibes, and staff than POC, but the DJ at Heart of Darkness will keep you shaking ass until dawn, week after week. If it werent for the blatant prostitution at POC, there would be no way this business could even afford to stay open. If that's your thing, well... you know where to go. If youre like a regular or even fun person who found yourself at POC, RUN!
