City guide
Taipei has quietly become one of the best cocktail cities in Asia. Three of the worlds top 50 bars have been Taipei bars in recent years. The local bartender community is small, ambitious, and obsessed. The ingredients available — local fruits, Taiwanese tea, regional rice spirits — are unique enough to drive distinctive drink programmes.
Bars are chosen from public information: the bar's own menus and listings, press coverage and reader reviews. Hours, prices and door policies change, so confirm them with the bar before you go. Read our full methodology and editorial standards, or meet the editors behind the reviews.
