High-class supper and jazz club

Noteworthy for: Brown Sugar is known for bringing the calibre of New Orleans jazz to Taipei.

Tipple of choice: They have a very extensive wine menu to quaff your way through while soaking up the sounds.

Nightclub, lounge and restaurant tolled into one, Brown Sugar is one of the classiest clubs in Taipei. A favourite among expats and jazz-loving locals, it hosts homegrown and international musicians who perform jazz, Latin, fusion, Dixieland and funk nightly.

The food menu - mostly American and Italian fare - and drinks are as reliable as the music. As the show kicks off on the small stage, the atmosphere starts getting lively, and it's always a pleasure when there's an unplugged performance in the patio space outside.
