I went twice. Tuesday night was slow to get going and yes it is pretty small. We wondered what was going on when we got searched on the way in then found an empty bar with Michael Buble playing.

Had a wicked time in the Heart of Darkness-left around 3.30am (I think!)-full of westerners, but all friendly. Music was good and beer reasonable. You must visit!-ignore all the rumours about shootings!-the only shots are behind the bar! If you want more info about Cambodia drop me a line at chaz7_uk@yahoo.co.uk more
