Duo Taipei

I came to Taipei for a business trip because of work and stayed at the Kaida Hotel at night. After working all day, I wanted to have a drink, so I found this bar on Google.

The bar's exterior looks much like a typical residential house, located on the first floor of an old apartment building, making it very discreet. You need to buzz the doorbell for the owner to let you in. Inside, the owner operates the place alone. Although the drinks here are cheap, the menu is designed so that there is a minimum consumption of at least two drinks, meaning you need to spend at least 400 NT dollars to leave.

The cocktail style here is quite simple and standard. There are many flavors to choose from, and you can mix any combination of cocktails. I basically think this place excels in sweet drinks, but if you combine various types of strong spirits, I do not recommend it, as it can taste very bitter and uncomfortable to drink.

Also, it was my first time encountering ice cubes that are connected in segments within the cocktail, which was quite a lot. If you just want to have a simple, cheap drink and don’t care too much about the taste, this place is worth a visit!
