Cijin Sunset Bar 旗津沙灘吧 — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

I would like to say a big thank you to Soko,Daniel and Kevin how's look after me and Oscar for the past two years, thank you guys. I wanted to book my new year eve with them. They supply a tent and drink much as you like for 5000 NT. I'm not interested by a tent, so I asked if they they can provide me with 2 bottles of cheap champagne.( 680 NT at the supermarket ). And 2 chairs at the bar. So for the owner, that would be 3600 NT profit before we consume other alcohol and food. Guess what the owners reply !, no we can't. Well Mr Jason I've been in this industry all my life, add my restaurants in London. There is a rule you can't ignore and you should learn in this industry, look after your costumers, the consumers will look after your business. Knowing this bar not doing so well, you can afford to lose costumers like myself how spend a average of 1200 NT and more every weekend for the past two years!. Good for you. I will never come back. I do not recommend this bar to anyone. It's not worth...

Whenever I get to visit Cijin, I always try to make this nice little place my haven. As a senior bar-hopper who not only drinks but also pays lots of attention to food, I gotta tell you this is my top choice in Kaohsiung, hands down. This beautiful, relaxing place holds a good collection of beers and cocktails, among other non-alcoholic drinks (which is perfect for families and/or folks who drive), and typically decent food -- burgers, ribs, salads, and other Asian fusions like green curry chicken. Folks here also really know their way with pasta -- well-seasoned, al dante spaghetti Bolognese and (even better) Fisherman spaghetti (spicy!) I've had beat most of the so-called "Italian restaurants" in Kaohsiung. And then it's the million dollar view, and lots of Bob Marley music. Yeah I know you might be a bit upset cuz this Covid-19 thing holds you from visiting Bali. If that's the case and you're in southern Taiwan, you might as...

Update May 2025: Went again. Food still great! Especially chicken nachos. Seafood salad was decent with lots of squid and shrimp. Service was excellent again - even helping me move my scooter to a better spot while I took wife to bathroom. Atmosphere same - wonderful! Got a few mosquito bites but they put out mosquito coils.

Keeping in mind that it’s truly a beach bar so no air conditioning, I’ll give them 5 stars. Why? Service and location. Right on the beach with unobstructed view of the ocean and sunset (though we went for lunch). And service was much above par. Quick welcome and options for seating. Next was we brought in some street snacks which they said are not allowed so they provided a plate to put them on. The great service even extended to WiFi help to make sure we got connected. Ken and Bono were our servers. The food was good. We had Caesar salad and Mexican quesadilla (be sure to add the sauce or it’s...
