Rowdy Taiwanese beer bar best for big groups

Tipple of choice: Not surprisingly, the only beer on tap is Taiwanese; NTD 50 gets you a 500cc pint.

Located in a giant warehouse adjacent to the Taiwan Beer Brewery, this no-frills cavernous space is big enough you can always get a seat. Pitch up at one of the communal picnic tables and order yourself fresh-as-it-gets Taiwanese beer by the bucket load, just be prepared for big groups getting raucous around you.

There is a stage for live performances, and when a band isn't playing expect a soundtrack of Taiwanese pop, both which provoke outbursts of wild dancing by the crowd at times. If you get hungry, they sell street style local dishes without much enthusiasm, but really it's all about the cheap beer here.
