Five Men Fresh Beer is a microbrewery; essentially a beer hall with exquisite and tasty Cambodian food available to order. This is an entertaining and wonderful place to eat dinner. The meals are complimented by the fresh beer brewed in the factory – it is served straight out of the barrel without being fermented a second time. A very authentic place to experience dinner.
