Oh Neil's Irish Bar & Eatery

What kind of place it is

Oh Neil's is a pub first and a restaurant second, though it takes both seriously. The format will be familiar if you have spent time in Ireland or the UK: a bar with a long drinks list, a kitchen that turns out filling plates, and a room where it is easy to start talking to the next table.

It opens in the evening only, so plan it as a dinner or night-out stop rather than a lunch spot.

Food and drink

The menu mixes traditional Irish cooking with local touches. Expect a range that runs from burgers to hearty stews and seafood dishes, so a group with different appetites should not struggle to agree on an order.

On the drinks side the bar covers cocktails and a wide selection of craft beers. If you are unsure what to pick, ask what is on the list that night and go from there.

Location and atmosphere

The bar sits on the riverfront, with views over the water and the landscape beyond. Kampot is built along the Preaek Tuek Chhu river, and an evening spent on this stretch is one of the town's easier pleasures.

It suits two kinds of visit. Come early for a meal and a drink after a day of exploring, or come later when the room fills up and it becomes a place to meet other travellers and residents.

• Do not plan on Tuesday. The bar is shut that day.
