We Played at Noisy Chili Tap House — Phnom Penh’s Live Music + Craft Beer Bar

In this episode of "Talk Trips Out," the host, Tom, visits Noisy Chile in the TTP Tulong neighborhood of Penon Pen. Noisy Chile is described as an awesome bar that offers craft beers from Real Brewing, hosts events, and features live music. Tom's band is scheduled to play that night, and he arrives early for setup and sound check, allowing him to give a tour of the venue before the crowd arrives. The bar has an upstairs seating area with artwork on the walls, overlooking a beer garden. This upstairs area is presented as a quieter spot where people can still talk while a band is playing. Tom recalls a previous heavy metal show held at Noisy Chile a year or two prior, which featured several bands, including a three-piece punk and metal band from Japan with members sporting mohawks. For quieter nights or weekdays, Noisy Chile provides a shelf of board games for friends to enjoy, potentially turning them into drinking games. In addition to craft beer, the bar also serves food, such as pizza. Tom highlights the quality of the craft beers, mentioning a past ginger-infused beer that had a shorter expiry date due to its natural ingredients. The overall atmosphere is enhanced by lights, graffiti, and plants. After their first set, Tom's band takes a break in the beer garden, where a cornhole game is set up, which can be turned into a drinking game. During the break, Tom orders a Citra Pale, an American pale ale from Real Brewing, noting its good flavor and moderate alcohol content (5%), suitable for a hot evening after playing on stage. The venue also features a unique amenity on an upper level: a jam space and recording studio for musicians. This space can be rented out for band practice or recording sessions, operating on a schedule. Although the area is closed during Tom's late-night visit, he observes dart boards and seating in front of the studio door, suggesting it's also a hangout spot. After their final set, Tom wraps up his visit around 11:00 PM. He encourages viewers to check out Noisy Chile in Tulang TTP, Penon Pen, emphasizing its constant events, craft beer, games like cornhole, and regular live music. He specifically recommends the open mic night every Thursday evening for those interested in showcasing music, stand-up comedy, poetry, or any other talent, noting its growing popularity. Tom concludes the episode by reminding viewers that "how you spend your days is the way you spend your life" and that "it's never too late to start tripping out."
