I would have expected this level of apathy from a Hotel bar or family restaurant, not a bar that explicitly sells cocktails. For this price, Taipei deserves better service, better ingredients, and even minimum creativity in the design of the drinks.
I went with my friend to this bar and it seemed promising at first but I the drinks were of poor quality, made with cheap ingredients, and served with complete apathy. It should be noted that we went on a Monday night and There was only one other person in the bar.
