Columbus Pub — Restaurant in Keelung

This alley is very important for its history. It’s the alley where were established the first pubs in Keelung, dating to the Vietnam War. When the US military participated in the Vietnam War the city became a central location where the soldiers could rest and take a break. Many American soldiers arrived at Keelung Port and helped establish new developments such as bars, consignments stores and jeans streets. After the war, the soldiers left, the hustle and bustle of the port gradually declined as the Japanese and Korean sailors, as well as the bar ladies began to leave. In its heyday, Yangpai Bar owned 18 bars including Columbus Bar, an old fashioned bar established in 1979.

打從我住進基隆以來（近40餘載），一次都沒有走進在地任何一家夜店酒吧（應該是不熟也不會想），2022的最後一天，居然有這榮幸，開箱我在基隆的酒吧處女航，位於孝二路肯德基旁小巷子內，一家擁有26年歷史的哥倫布小酒館，幾項令我讚不絕口的優點，列舉如下： 1、幾位合股的股東們，就是店裡最專業，也是最親切的調酒師＆親善大使 。 2、店內沒有供應餐點，所以允許帶食物進入店內，這真的是一大福音，因為來自各地的酒客，都會帶來自己家鄉拿手的餐食或甜點，分享給在場的所有人，幸運的我，當天還吃到來自加拿大的美女親自手作的濃情巧克力，還有多款起司mix，加上獨特秘方，完成那既濃郁、又美味的抹醬，搭上奇福餅乾或是多力多滋，口腔內瞬間迸發出幸福的多重口感。這種像是跟家人或是跟友人在一起的溫馨感受，真的是和台北的夜店酒吧迥然不同的氛圍。 3、訂位居然沒有基本消費這件事，真的是有讓我驚喜到，實在是太佛心了。 4、店內雖然可以抽煙，但是一點煙味都沒有，因為店內的抽風系統做得非常好，而且客人都很守規矩，除了抽電子煙的客人外，其餘都會走到外面去抽，所以室內的氣味還算清新，以一般這類型的店來說，甚屬難得！ 5、這邊的酒客，基本上都還算是友善，甚少有騷擾女客的情況發生，即便是有，店家也不會容許這樣的情況，所以算是安全性頗高的一家酒吧。 綜合以上幾點，加上地理位置離火車站及夜市不遠，location...
