Botanico Wine & Beer Garden* (Cerevisia Craft Brewery)

prepare to see plenty of updates to the list. The bars with the * also brew their own beer. I have been trying to include only bars that have a regular offering of Cambodian Craft Beers, not bars that occasionally offer craft beers, but rather bars who are actually loving their beers.
Phnom Penh Bars and Breweries
As the largest city in Cambodia Phnom Penh is, without a doubt, where most craft beer bars and craft brewers in Cambodia are located.
Embargo Craft Beer Bar
Embargo is one of the most popular craft beer bars in Phnom Penh. Known for being the hangout for real craft beer lovers. A great atmosphere and good beers are guaranteed at this place.
The bar has 2 stories – the ground floor where people tend to socialize with random strangers and the open 2nd floor which is better for larger groups. With 9 craft beers on tap and a fridge with over 30 beers from Cambodia, Vietnam, and more, Embargo certainly has one of the largest craft beer selections in Cambodia.
Hops Brewery & Craft Beer Garden*
Hops Brewery also belongs to one of the originals in Phnom Penh´s craft beer scene. The original location opened its doors around 2015. It´s is called the first German biergarten in Phnom Penh and they do definitely have a nice beer garden vibe at the original location on Street 228. Today they also offer their craft beers in Tuol Kork and Chbar Ampov.
One of the original craft beer brewers in Cambodia. Today they provide some of the most high quality craft beers in Cambodia. Their flagship IPA (The Intergalactic Planetary Ale) is critically acclaimed as one of the best beers in the country. In 2020 two of their IPA:s managed to win a Chariman’s Selection in the Beer Asia Awards. Today they have a taproom called Noisy Chili located next to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum.
Siem Reap Bars and Breweries
Although Phnom Penh is obviously the best choice when it comes to finding Craft Beers in Cambodia. Siem Reap comes in as a good second.
Embargo – Siem Reap
With it’s sister bar in Phnom Penh, Embargo Siem Reap is a must visit for craft beer lovers.

Monkey Republic
Sihanoukville Bars and Breweries

Battambang Bars and Breweries
Craft beer isn’t common at all in Battambang. There is no proper craft beer bar in the city but a few bars are trying to stock a few craft beers. If you absolutely need to get your daily craft beer while in Battambang (as you of course do) then have a look at these places.
