Reviews
Located near the MRT Shuanglian Station, this convenient gastropub has an entry method similar to a speakeasy bar abroad; you need to find the right way to get in, making for a nice experience.
They have quite a variety of drinks, and this time, my friends and I ordered several to try out.
My personal favorites are the red guava cocktail and the passion fruit cocktail.
The red guava drink has a rich guava flavor, and the alcohol taste isn't particularly overwhelming; it definitely has a boozy feel, with a nice balance of sweet and sour.
The passion fruit cocktail leans more towards the sour side, but its alcohol and sweet-sour notes are well-matched, making it great for those who enjoy a more tart flavor.
The atmosphere of the place is nice, but it's generally a bit dark, which can make taking photos a bit challenging. That's a bit unfortunate. However, they do provide an outdoor smoking area on the second floor, so customers who need to smoke don't have to go all the way to the first floor—very considerate.
Regarding the food, we ordered two servings of fried items, which were quite tasty. It does take a bit longer to get served during peak times, but that’s understandable given the circumstances.
The only slight surprise was that their drink prices are not cheap. Each drink, including service charge, generally exceeds 400 TWD, but I guess that's the norm in Taipei (even in the second-floor environment).
