Bar Way Home — Restaurant in Da'an District

The atmosphere and setting of this bar are undeniably impressive. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design—dim lighting that sets a relaxed mood, comfortable chairs, and staff uniforms that fit the aesthetic perfectly. If ambiance is your priority, this place might be worth a visit. However, if you’re looking for quality drinks and food, prepare to be underwhelmed.

Drinks: With prices ranging from 300–400 NTD per cocktail, I expected well-crafted drinks with bold flavors. Unfortunately, the reality fell far short. Every drink we ordered was weak, small, and lacked any distinct taste. Despite being a group of seven, not a single one of us found our drinks noteworthy. To make matters worse, service was frustratingly slow—our first drinks didn’t arrive for at least 30 minutes, and the rest trickled in over another half-hour.

Food: Unlike the drinks, the food was priced more reasonably, but unfortunately, the quality reflected that. I ordered the cheese platter, expecting a variety of textures and flavors, but it was nothing short of a disappointment. Every cheese was soft and lacked any character, making for a monotonous and uninspired plate. Ironically, the salted cashews—something not even listed as part of the dish—were the highlight.

Service & Billing Issue: When it came time to pay, we encountered an issue due to the 500 NTD minimum spend per person. Since we initially gave the wrong number of guests, we were short by 1000 NTD. To make up the difference, we decided to order tequila shots, assuming this would at least be a simple, no-fail choice. But even this turned into a letdown—the shots were blatantly watered down, ending the night on an even worse note.

In summary, if you’re after an aesthetically pleasing setting and don’t mind mediocre drinks and food, this bar might suit your needs. But if you’re looking for a complete experience—one where quality matches the price—you’d be better...

I visited this bar recently, and I have to say, it left me a bit disappointed. The prices here are on the higher side, and the drink portions are surprisingly small – we’re talking just a few sips per glass. Even after downing four or five drinks, I couldn’t feel a buzz. When the staff asked us how everything was, I mentioned the size issue, but they simply explained that it’s their standard serving size. It left me wondering why they bothered to ask in the first place.

They did mention that if we weren’t satisfied, they’d treat us better next time we came in, but I won’t be returning unless they make some changes. On top of that, the pizza we ordered was both tiny and overpriced. It’s just too expensive for what you get. They really need to step up their game if they want to keep customers like me...
