Raffles hotel Mindy’s bar launch: The iconic hotel in Phnom Penh has unveiled§ Mindy’s, a pop-up speakeasy inspired by the glamour and intrigue of 1920s-1940s New York. Bringing a touch of vintage sophistication to the heart of Phnom Penh, Mindy’s captures the spirit of a bygone era through an immersive setting of jazz, crafted cocktails and timeless style.
The pop-up will operate at Raffles Hotel Le Royal from May 7-31, open Thursday to Sunday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tucked behind an unmarked door, Mindy’s evokes the discreet charm of a classic speakeasy. Guests can expect dim lighting, vintage-inspired decor, subtle gaming elements and charismatic bartenders who bring the experience to life.

The atmosphere is enhanced by the smooth sounds of jazz and swing, while a dedicated cigar lounge adds an extra layer of refinement to the evening.
“We are thrilled to bring the vibrant energy and timeless glamour of old New York to Raffles Hotel Le Royal with Mindy’s,” said GM Dagmar Lyons. “This immersive pop-up perfectly embodies Raffles’ spirit of storytelling and exceptional experiences, offering our guests and Phnom Penh’s discerning crowd a truly unique evening they won’t forget.”
Raffles created a special cocktail menu for the pop-up bar. Highlights include Sky Masterson’s Lucky Flight (bourbon, honey syrup, lemon and bitters, dramatically finished with a flaming orange peel), Miss Adelaide’s Lament (London Dry Gin, raspberry liqueur, lemon and cocktail foamer), and Nathan Detroit’s Hustle (rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters and cherry candy). For those seeking a non-alcoholic option, the Reformer (ginger beer, lime and mint) offers a crisp, refreshing “salvation” in true speakeasy style.
