For non-beer-drinkers, there are a variety of non-alcoholic options, including sodas and a cocktail list that we have yet to sample but are presented masterfully.

While Prince Brewing is undoubtedly not the cheapest craft beer bar in town, with the beers coming at a comparatively high cost to other craft beer bars, the value is more than made up for by the stunning modern brewhouse, and it’s incredible one of a kind atmosphere in Phnom Penh.
