Pubs, Bars, Nightclubs in Taipei

My Top Picks:



Alphabetical List:


Brass Monkey

Nice pub with good food and service. Easy access to MRT.


Carnegies

Best feature: Sunday Brunch

Citizen Cain

This is a small bar with a DJ, they serve food including pizza.

Hooters

You know what to expect here.

In-House DJ Lounge Restaurant
JB's

JP Pub

Friendly service and a foosball table with primarily Japanese and local patrons.


Le Ble Dor Brewery and Restaurant

Specialty beers.


The Living Room

This is a very laid back place with sofas and live music.

Luxy

This is a nightclub with a posh interior, two different music rooms, and plenty of attractive young people dressed to be noticed. While casual attire is tolerated, they draw the line at sandals and you may be turned away if you’re shoes are judged to be inappropriate. The cover charge is $400 if you arrive before 10pm. After that the cover charge is $700. This is one of the few places in Taipei that actually asked for my ID, so be prepared.

Getting to Luxy

Luxy is located about 20 meters from Zhongxiao Dunhua MRT Station Exit 2 on Zhongxiao Rd.

My Other Place: http://taipeiguide.blogspot.com/2006/10/my-other-place.html

Of all of the pubs at www.taipeipubs.com this is the worst. While it is not bad, the atmosphere is a bit sterile. There is little to make this pub stand out from any other. Another complaint is that even if you are ordering alcoholic drinks, they will not give you water.

My Place: see The Zone

Panter Cigar & Wine
The best feature here is the walk-in humidor and large selection of imported cigars. This is also a quiet, laid back place to enjoy a drink while you smoke your cigar. They are located at No. 33, Lane 8, Sec. 4, Ren-Ai Rd. There are several other bars in this same area.

Best Features: Sofas, Water Pipes, Belly Danci

The Roxies: http://taipeiguide.blogspot.com/2006/10/roxy-99-jr-and-vibe.html

Roxy 99 is a basement nightclub without much ambiance but attracts a young crowd with its reasonable prices and good location.

Roxy Jr. is an actual pub.

Roxy Vibe is an after hours nightclub

Saints and Sinners is a comfortable pub but nothing special.

The Shannon has good pub ambiance and drinks. They have a back room that is separated by a curtain which is smoke free. It's not perfect but better than nothing. It is next to Dan Ryan’s Restaurant.

The Taiwan Beer Bar features cheap Taiwan Beer and outdoor Seating

The Voice: Good drink specials, outdoor seating, and friendly service.

The Zone is a block featuring a mix of bars for different tastes.

Fogo Churrascaria Brazilian BBQ

The barbequed meat which comes out fresh from the kitchen on metal skewers is delicious. They had beef, lamb, pork, chicken, shrimp and more. Unfortunately there were two things that make me unable to recommend this restaurant. First, besides the BBQ there is not much else to eat. There is a very small soup and salad bar. Second, when busy the service suffers greatly. The waiters bring the BBQ out of the kitchen and are supposed to distribute it amongst the tables. What ends up happening is they always begin at the tables nearest the kitchen, and the food is gone by the time they reach the back of restaurant. I had to complain a couple of times before food started to find its way to my table. Location: Nanjing E. Rd. Sec. 5, No. 6, 2F /臺北市,南京東路,五段,6號,2樓 / Nánjīng Dōng Lù 5 Duàn 6 Hào 2 Lou It is located near the Guangfu N. Rd. Intersection / 光復北路口 / Guāngfù Běi Lù Kou in the same building as The Living Room .

Pharmacies

There are many small pharmacies throughout Taipei. If you know what you need, many medications which may be available by prescription only in your home country may be available over the counter. Of course, there are still some medications that are only available through a doctor or hospital such as opiate based pain killers. A larger pharmacy which is often suggested if you are looking for something hard to find is the Shanghai Pharmacy. Shanghai Pharmacy 衡陽路32號 / Héngyáng Lù 32 Hào / Hengyang Rd., No. 32 walking distance from Ximen MRT (Blue line, just west of main station). Use Exit 4. Hengyang ends at 228 Park.
