Prices in Phnom Penh (Cambodia): USD levels & what moves them

Street by street, April–July 2026

Street 136 fines most bars at $20, with New York Bar's Chinese-style floor at $15 the exception; Tiger charges $25 plus three mandatory lady drinks; Charlie Chan's (ex-Secrets) marks take-out girls with green badges — $15 hostess, $30 dancer, lady drinks from $4.50, draft $3. Street 104 holds Oscar's on the Corner ($4 LD, $10 barfine, $2 beer, live music, freelancers around) and Marine/Small Girls at $10, against The Factory's $20 and Air Force's $15. Street 130 runs Angry Birds at a $15 barfine all week now (weekday discounts gone), with $5 lady drinks, $1.50 drafts and doors open from 14:00; Butterfly (ex-Golden Frog) sits at $20, and Lotus runs 24 hours. Street 172's growing rank: Hollywood at $15 weekday / $20 weekend / $30 dancer.

Street 51's freelancer math: no barfine, drafts $0.50–1, barfines where they exist $25–35, then $30–50 short and $60–100 the night — 2026 menu prices, not forum folklore. The massage floor: $5 oil hours with $10 tips — and the counterintuitive note that the $5 shops sometimes refuse the finish while the $16 ones don't. The Raffles-tier sits apart: the 1929 Elephant Bar pours $10 beers and $18 cocktails a world away from $0.50 drafts.

How we get these numbers

• Every figure is a range from many independent reports — never one guy’s story.
• Prices enter the database with a source date and remain available as they age.
• The same segment is tracked district by district — the spread between areas is often the real story.
• Dollar amounts are rounded on purpose (rate date below): enough to plan and compare cities — the exact, dated local figures come when you ask.

What moves prices here

• The barfine is a licence, not a price — $20 buys her exit; the session ($25–100) is paid directly to the girl, off the bar's books.
• Street tiering — 104's Oscar's ($4 LD, $10 barfine, $2 beer) against The Factory ($5 LD, $20 barfine): one street, two economies.
• The 1.5× year — average barfine $10–15 (July 2025) → $20 (April 2026); premium looks $50–100 against the remembered $25–35.
• Dollarized cash — every price in USD, riel for change under $1: plan small bills, no card layer to hide behind.
