In Siem Reap, Barcode is an LGBTQ+ bar that combines an intimate cabaret with a lively night out. Drag performers take turns on stage with dance routines, lip-syncs and plenty of humour, all just a few steps from the audience. Admission is free, and after the shows, the atmosphere can turn into a dance party.

Along the Siem Reap River, several little open-air bars sit side by side, with tables and chairs set up by the water. Siem Reap Cocktails and Cafe is one of them: an unpretentious spot where you can enjoy an inexpensive cocktail, a bit of music and a laid-back atmosphere.

GOD, short for “Gays on Display”, is one of Siem Reap’s handful of gay bars. Tucked away in a small alley in the town centre, it combines music, cocktails and drag performances. It’s somewhere to stop for a drink or stay out a little later, although the atmosphere naturally depends on the night you visit.
