The pizza toppings are very flavorful, only the crust leaves a little more to be desired. The price is a little high, but not outrageous. Beers are $210 per glass, or you can order 6 beers for $999, which makes it significantly cheaper if your party will drink that much. It is on the second floor and they have outdoor seating on the sky walk. If you are coming by MRT, use the Taipei City Hall Station. Walk South to Songgao Rd. and between the Eslite Bookstore Building and the Shin Kong A4 Building there are stairs to the sky walk. When there is a left hand turn you will see the restaurant straight across this bridge, which is the A11 building.

They brew their own beer. You can get a sampler set and taste them all. I visited the Qingcheng St. location which is near the Nanjing E. Rd. MRT Station. If you walk directly out the only exit, it will be on the left hand side, just past Hooters which is on the right hand side. They have outdoor seating. ‧ Jolly Taipei City, Qingcheng St. , No. 29 / 北市慶城街29號 02 8712 9098 慶城街 Qìngchéng Jiē ‧ Jolly 423 Jinhu Rd., Neihu District, Taipei (北市內湖區金湖路423號) 02 2632 2229

If you are having trouble finding beer with any flavor this may be the place for you. They have 3 different varieties, lager, wheat, and dark. The food is ok but nothing special and a little bit expensive by Taipei standards. They have dart boards (at least in the Xinyi location). Dart Boards are coin operated electronic boards using plastic tipped darts. The service is friendly despite the fact that the servers have their dignity stripped away and replaced with a German lederhosen style uniform. official website: www.lebledor.com.tw Multiple locations in Taipei and Taiwan.

They do have some varieties which are not typically available elsewhere, and all the beer is made in the adjoining brewery. They use a strange but simple ticket system here. First go to the register and pre-pay for the type and quanity of your beer, then go to either the bottle bar or the draft bar to get your beer. Indoor and outdoor seating are available. They have an appetizer menu consisting of Chinese food. It is on the section of Bade Rd. that is between Civic Blvd. (Shiming Dadao) and Jian Guo Rd.and intersects them both.
