17 Best Things to Do After Dinner in Taipei

Nightlife in Taipei is so busy and bustling that the city is almost livelier after dark than during the day! There’s a lot to choose from, ensuring that most tastes are accommodated and most visitors will find something entertaining to see or do every evening. This includes a thriving nightclub scene, a variety of bars and pubs, cultural theatre, countless night markets and Taiwan’s favourite pastime – karaoke (or KTV, as it is locally known).

Taipei nightlife is, to some extent, distinct in each district. Xinyi is the heart of the club scene, for example, while Ximending is home to a choice of more traditional experiences, including top markets and theatres. Da’an has the best of the speakeasy-style bars while Zhongshan is known to have the largest pub scene.

1. 45 Pub

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

45 Pub is a student hangout and, because it is located near the National Taiwan Normal University, it attracts a huge crowd. This club offers inexpensive drinks and happy hours every night. It gets quite noisy, but the atmosphere is excellent. Another advantage is that it has no dress code and no cover charge.

2. Barcode

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Barcode is described as the place to see and be seen in Taipei, so make sure you dress to impress. The ‘see’ part comes in the form of an unmissable view. The club is on the 5th floor of the Neo 19 building in Xinyi shopping district, giving an impressive outlook of the area’s skyscrapers from the balcony and from indoors, through tall windows.

Barcode has a chic, modern look and DJs playing a wide range of tunes, from classic house to acid jazz, funk, new wave and more. The London-trained bartenders serve a unique selection of custom champagne cocktails while the kitchen serves a range of light bites. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

3. Blue Note

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Blue Note is a very popular music venue near the Shida Night Market in the Da’an district. It hosts many live jazz bands on Friday and Saturday evenings, with performances usually kicking off around 9.30pm. On live music nights, there’s usually a small cover fee of about NT$300, which also gets you 1 drink. It’s a mostly sized place, so it’s best to here early if you want to grab a table in the cozy and comfortable environment.

4. Box Nightclub

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Box Nightclub has a bright look on the outside, with a gritty, simple décor inside. Being close to Shida University and playing hip hop and R&B, it has a young crowd of students and expats. As with many clubs in Taipei, the cover charge (about NT$600 for men and NT$350 for women) pays for all you can drink. Lacking the posh décor of the Xinyi clubs, it is friendlier and more approachable, particularly given that the venue is smaller than many, giving it an intimate feel.

The place is popular for its numerous flat-screen televisions showing major sporting events from around the world, as well as foosball tables, dartboards and fairly cheap drinks.

6. Carnegie’s Bar & Restaurant

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Φαγητό, Νυχτερινή ζωή

An old favourite among the expat crowd, Carnegie’s Bar & Restaurant has become one of the city’s top spots for tourists, too. Born from the Hong Kong-based brand of English-style pubs, the food menu includes typical pub grub and Indian curries.

The drinks menu, however, is the real highlight, featuring over 300 shooters. Cool décor, popular music choices and a lively, fun atmosphere where patrons frequently show off their dancing skills on the bar has given Carnegie’s a legendary reputation, which it well deserves.

The entry fee, which is usually low for a Xinyi club (around NT$300) covers all you can drink and there are lots of special party nights, with bonus discounts and drinks and special prizes if you bring the right kind of ID or dress right. A fun and lively place, it often has a long queue outside, in spite of its very late opening time, and attracts a very wide age range.

With its elegant Victorian-era style and top-quality western cuisine, MQ Marquee is the nightspot of choice for many of Taipei’s high society and celebrities. The spacious lounge has a long bar with tenders preparing even the simplest beverage with care and skill, proved by the fact that a number of them have taken top spots in the Diageo World Class Bartending awards.

With an extensive range of premium liquors available, the drinks menu is long and filled with exuberant highlights. The atmosphere is kept classy without becoming pretentious, partially thanks to the talents of the resident DJ.

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Founded in 1975, My Place claims to be Taiwan’s first and oldest pub. It’s styled in the traditional English way and is still going strong, making it one of the more popular hangouts in the alleys behind the Imperial Hotel.

Cozy and good for a drink, it’s also a good starting place for visiting the other bars within crawling distance. Another positive feature is the moderately-priced draught beer. Besides excellent grub and beer, the place has a pool table and a 100-inch plasma TV. The staff are very friendly and it’s a good place to go with friends.

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Τοποθεσία: 5F, No. 201, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Da’an District, Taipei City, Taiwan 106

11. On Tap

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Boldly claiming to be ‘Taipei’s Only Real Pub’, On Tap is a detailed recreation of the British-style drinking spot, to the extent that the logo resembles a London Underground sign. A popular place for watching and even taking part in live sports, it is the home of a darts league and several amateur football teams.

The pub has a very social, friendly atmosphere and, as the name suggests, European draught beers. There’s also first-rate pub grub, a pool table and regular popular party nights. It’s one of the more popular spots among the local expat community.

12. Ounce

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Ounce is Taipei’s first speakeasy bar and recreates a 1920s American Prohibition vibe particularly well, to the extent that it even looks like an espresso bar from the outside. Pass through the ‘hidden’ door to one side, however, and you’ll find a fantastic collection of skilfully crafted cocktails.

The décor is heavy on the dark woods, giving the bar a cosy, secretive feel. With a huge range of raw ingredients to work with, the bartenders are the stars of the show, throwing together unique concoctions with impressive displays of skill and dexterity, as well as building the fun and friendly atmosphere.

13. Revolver

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Revolver is a well-established favourite in the underground music scene in Taipei, with some of the top bands and DJs playing in a friendly rock ‘n’ roll atmosphere. Covering 3 floors, Revolver caters to many tastes, though the live music stage on the 2nd floor is a particular favourite. The 3rd-floor lounge bar and ground floor street bar are both cool places to chill out and have a drink with friends, particularly with the famously low beer prices – as mere NT$115 for a pint! There are also craft beers and imported European lagers from about NT$180.

Shilin Night Market, in particular, has a great deal of variety to offer. It is focussed around the Yangming Theatre and Cicheng Temple – both of which are worth visiting – and the surrounding streets are home to popular cinemas, karaoke bars and video arcades. The selection of street food available is unrivalled and is one of the main attractions of the market.

Καλό για: Ζευγάρια, Φαγητό, Νυχτερινή ζωή

Ziga Zaga is one of the restaurants of the Grand Hyatt Taipei and attracts an elite crowd. When the disc jockey takes over at 10pm, the place rocks.
