Depends what you're looking for from a night out really, there's places to cater for call tastes. Chilled out bars, clubs, girlie bars etc. Impossible to say without knowing what you're into.
My usual itinerary for a night is having a few chilled out beers at riverside or my friends bar, heading to st 130/136/104 which are littered with girlie bars then onto Pontoon or other places around St 51/172 till the early hours. The problem with Pontoon is although it's an awesome club it's like 90% freelancers in there, it's a better place to go have fun with a group of friends than to try pick up a non-working girl - if you're happy to pay then Pontoon is absolutely the place you should end up as it's busy every night of the week and has 3 rooms now all with different types of music. One of Pontoon's rooms opens till (and is busy till) around 7am now, and another place on St 51 opens at 4am and is busy till 8am ish... so you can go for as long as you can manage here really.
There are other st's which I haven't explored that well closer to Independent Monument like 278 which might be worth checking out. There are other clubs scattered around Phnom Penh that attract a more majority Khmer crowd (Nova has some unreal talent in but is pretty small) but it's pretty difficult to pick up women with normal jobs etc in clubs. I think it's a mixture of how shy they are and that their view on most farangs being sex pests.
