One of Taipei's liveliest spots for drinking and catching live music (usually indie or rock). Very popular with expats, foreign students and backpackers, who start spilling out on to the street by 8pm. They're probably on their way to catch the happy hour that lasts until 9.30pm (mixers and beer NT$80 to NT$150).
