How have i haven’t written a review on this fantastic institution! I’m from Vancouver and Origin is one of my top 3 bars in Taiwan among all the well-known drinking places. Staffs are professional, friendly of course and they are aware of diverse kinds of drink. They make amazing drinks and customize your order towards your taste. The cocktail I had were light, fresh, fruity and unique from other bars. This place is cozy with perfect ambience where you are able to feel relaxed and comfortable. Great for friends and dates. Every time I visit Taipei, I will go to this place with my Taiwanese friends. The owner is super nice and sweet. My friend and I even made friend with him. He treats his customers and staffs as family and best friends with respect and gratitude. I can’t wait until next time visiting again when i’m back!

Read moreWhat a magnificent find! Very walkable from the MO and quite a gem, down a small alley off the main road. They specialize in tea cocktails, I had the Pou Chong Tea Cocktail for something less sweet. Perfect blend. I’ve had a decent amount of good cocktails in SF and this bar’s mix craft is definitely up there. Service is above and beyond. I think service levels in asia are generally quite high but the bartenders and servers here are incredibly friendly and helpful. Food was excellent as well, we got the dumplings fries and some linguine. Menu is expansive, there’s sure to be something to your tastes. Excellent little...
